[quote=harvey][quote=cvmom]Sugar Bowl. Good for beginners and cheaper than many. Side benefit: it is also right next to Royal Gorge, and we like to cross-country ski as well.[/quote]
Sugar Bowl is easy and casual.
Donner Ski Ranch is a fun little place also. Haven’t been in years, but it used to be really inexpensive.
If you are taking young kids or first-timers, there’s no need to pay for a big resort.
I’m not sure how a “top ten” list helps the OP. Alyeska is kinda far from Reno.[/quote]
My kids actually learned to ski at Snow Summit in Big Bear and Mammoth. However, they did not take lessons. We taught them ourselves.
