I was actually going to suggest Sol Vista. If I had a limited budget and limited number if days to teach my kids how to ski/ride, then I think it's a great choice. We had WP passes, but we stayed at the Sil Vista lodge because it was a good value.

I lived in a condo at the base of Sol Vista for a year - it ain't Mary Jane, but still entertaining and convenient. If you're teaching your kids to ski for the first time it's going to be a lot less crowded and a LOT less expensive then spending the same money for a bunny hill at WP.
