Need Help for one night ski trip and kids' ski lessons

Here's our situation. I'm taking my wife and two boys (5 1/2 and just turning 7) to Denver for the Bears game on Sunday. We fly in on Friday (December 9th) night and I was thinking of staying near a ski resort and introducing my kids to skiing...they both have asked about starting and are fairly athletic, so this seems like a good time.
Anyhow, I'm looking for convenience to the slopes and good lessons more than anything. I'd like to also use points to redeem for a hotel, so the following places are really in play...Hyatt, Marriott (Ritz Carlton), Hilton, or SPG. Was looking at the Sheraton or Westin, and possibly the Ritz Carlton, but I'm not sure how convenient they are for good kids slopes.
Can you recommend a good place?
Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated as I know next to nothing about this area.
