Once they got the basics down, they went on the carpet, a flat escalator that brings people up to a beginner slope.  My kids tried their absolute best not to fall, but in the end, I could see their rosy cheeks through their snow covered faces, as they had tripped when coming downhill.  However, they had a blast and my niece and Field Trip Boy even ended up going up the beginner ski lift for even more of a challenge.

This looks like such a fun ski resort. Despite being Canadian I don't have a clue how to ski. I love that you give lots of ideas of things to do while there, Snowshoeing sounds like a lot of fun.
