The best on-mountain dining in Colorado: Aspen/Snowmass

What can I say? You get what you pay for!

The best Colorado ski town for non-skiers: Breckenridge

With a well-preserved historic town, an active arts district and endless possibilities for off-slope fun, the charming Town of Breckenridge can entice even the most bah-humbug winter hater.

The best family resort: Snowmass

With its brand new Treehouse Learning Center for kids, Snowmass has secured its position as the best Colorado resort for families. Before or after their  lessons, your kids can climb the state-of-the-art climbing wall, play interactive games designed for preschoolers, crawl through a Beaver Lodge or jump in Trout Haven. Snowmass is far less glitzy than Aspen, so your kids won't be overwhelmed by the glitterati.

The best locals resort: Loveland

Picture this: You drive to the parking lot, and lo and behold, you're right on the slopes. Welcome to Loveland. Often the first to open and the last to close, this no-frills ski area trumps the fancy resorts with their great deals,  great service and great terrain. Getting married? Do it at Loveland on Valentine's Day.

The best ski program for baby boomers: Breckenridge Prime Time

Run by Hugh and Dolly Armstrong, who just happen to be the parents of Olympic skier Deb Armstrong, this two-day program features video analysis. Lunch, one dinner and a cocktail party are included in the fee. Great instruction, great vibes!
