I hear ya, but it's the kids first time (5&7 years old) and wife's for that matter; so I don't want to drag them out to Colorado yet. I'll let them learn on a big hill first then head to the mountains in a few years.
We have a big group going and they say it's a great "family" place for the little ones to learn.

Miami sure does sound nice though!....I'm tired of this dam cold weather already!
