Ski Resorts for Beginners

A couple weeks ago someone I know went on a ski vacation in Colorado at a resort called Steamboat Ski & Resort.  I had never really wanted to go on a ski vacation before, but, after seeing his pictures, I have been doing some research on where the best ski resorts are for beginners like me.   This research is in hopes that next winter Matt and I will be able to take a true ski vacation.

Below I have listed some of the ski resorts that I found that are said to be good for beginners, some of which may be luxury ski resorts.   Now, I will fully admit that I have not done thorough research just yet, but I thought I would put out the list on CourtneyMara.com and next year do some follow-up research.  So, without further ado, below is a list of ski resorts that I found through research I conducted through Google that are said to be good for beginners.  Please let me know in the comments section if you are familiar with any of these destinations!

    Don’t forget Pennsylvania. Camelback is a great place to go as well. That’s where I learned to ski. There are many more scattered about in the Poconos.

      Thanks! I didn’t think about Pennsylvania, but that is obviously much closer to the both of us than Utah!
