I've also skied about every mountain in Colorado with the exception of a couple down south.

As stated above, all the mountains are very similar in regards to terrain. All have skiing for everyones ability with the exception of A-Basin. The Basin only has a few blue runs with most of the mountain being black. It gets extremely cold on the mountain when the wind blows and can get icy at the top.

Follow the snow. All the mountains are near each other but get very different snow falls each night. We always pick the mountain in the morning based on the snow fall as reported on the local morning zoo ski show. Don't forget to search out the discounted lift passes which are available in grocery stores and ski shops.

You are going a little early in the season. Definitely follow the snow.

For lodging, I like to stay around Silverthorne or Dillon. These towns are near the highway and make access quick.
