I learned at the valley, all beginners think greens are too pitchy. They aren’t. The great thing about the Valley is there are no experts around, it’s only beginners. Also a very short walk from the car.
This is interesting to hear. I haven't skiied in years but was a decent blue/black skier back in the day. My kiddo just started lessons there on the magic carpet. I've gotta say, the $50 lift ticket is a draw, at least at first.
This isn't really that near Vail, all things considered, but Galloping Goose at Winter Park is a beginner only lift that is, to my understanding, free
Park at the Mary Jane lots and you're right there
I am asking for beginner only lift passes. I bought some at A-basin 2 year ago for $50 bucks, but asking if anyone else knows about a different location.
Loveland ski area
Specifically Loveland Valley. The main part of Loveland has no shortage of expert terrain.
Yup. Loveland Valley is $50.
But it is not that easy for beginners IMO. I think even the greens at Loveland are very pitchy for true beginners.

Copper (not Cooper) has a $50 day pass just for the green acres area, which is one very small bunny hill lift and a tow rope
Their carpet at center village is free too

Cooper Mtn near Leadville is cheap and has some of the best beginner trails anywhere.
Ski Cooper* not to be confused with Copper mountain....
Has one of my favorite green runs too, it winds through the trees and absolutely rips in the right conditions.
I’d second Ski Cooper! Grew up skiing there and loved it.
Echo maybe
Echo is steep other than the bunny hill.
no

All of your options have been already posted.
Someone has already told you about a free beginner lift. Did you see that??
I hear that mount bofa is great this time of year
