How to choose where to ski - Two Man Hiking on Snow Mountain

I have never been skiing and know nothing about it. I wish to surprise someone with a ski travel package (airfare, ground transportation, hotel, ski rentals, skiing admission tickets, and whatever else is entailed). (I and the other person live in the United States.)

  1. Should I buy hotel and skiing admission as a package? Or should I book a hotel separately from the skiing admission?
  2. What factors should I consider in choosing a hotel and skiing facility? (I'm asking about things that are specific to skiing. I know price, hotel rating, visa availability, and so on are factors, but those apply to any hotel stay.)

    If you want to ski fast, go with a longer pair. Terrain: If your favorite hill is dominated by narrow, twisty trails, look at shorter skis. They're better at quickly maneuvering into tight turns. If you only ski open slopes or mostly ski ungroomed snow, then consider longer skis.
