If your looking for Ski Resorts, I would recommend Breckenridge. It is close to about 4 other ski resorts so you have the freedom to ski several locations. Steamboat Springs is also a great place, but it is kind of secluded and a long drive from Denver.
If your looking for summer time, most of ski resorts are still a great place to visit. But I really enjoy a small town called Estes Park. It is right at the beginning of Rocky Mountain National Park, so there is plenty of hiking, biking, mountain climbing and sightseeing to do.
If you have any other questions I'll check back and respond.
Have a great trip.
