What's the best family ski resort in the rockies? Requirements: 1 week in March, ideally no car (walk to lifts, grocery store, ...), snowboarding. Need a condo as well. Thank you; fully appreciated help.
Canadian or US?
In Canada - Banff is a awesome (great town for the family to have fun too) - see: http://www.skibanff.com/ and other regional sites: http://www.skircr.com/resortInfo/
USA - not personal experience except http://www.aspensnowmass.com/, but check out this as well:

You've picked the right winter to ski the Rockies. There's no snow anywhere else! I like the Banff area too. Two of the three resorts best suited to families are Lake Louise and Sunshine. But you won't find much accomodation at either resort. People stay in town and drive or bus it out (about 20-40 minutes). Another great resort in Canada is Whistler-Blackcomb (http//:WhistlerBlackcomb.com). It's not strictly in the Rockies, but close enough. It's in the coastal range, west of the Rockies in BC. Lot's of accomodations (hotels and condos) right at the mountain, where you can walk to the lifts in a few minutes. And 29 feet of snow since November! The mountains have the highest vertical in North America and the most skiable acres by far (over 8000 acres!)
Steamboat has really good deals aimed at families.
