1st time skiing help needed

My husband and I are planing on a March or April ski trip. Niether of us have skied before. We are looking for beginner slopes. We also want a town that has a classic ski town feeling. We would prefer to stay in a ski in/ski out type of place. We need lessons, and equipment rentals. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.Thanks!! I'm really excited about this trip.

Where are you wanting to ski (rockies, east coast)? If Colorado, try www.skicolorado.com for info.

I went to Winterpark, Colorado for my first ski trip 20 years ago and found it very beginner friendly! However, I don't know about ski in/ ski out accomodations in this area.

If you are thinking New England, look at Bolton Valley Vt, or Waterville Valley NH. Both are self contained ski villages.

I also love Winter Park. We stay at Timber House Ski Lodge, where breakfast, afternoon snacks and dinner are included. They drive you to the hill in the morning, and will pick you up in the afternoon if you don't want to ski back in.

I'd also recommend Steamboat Springs; great skiing and a "real' towm.
