I may be a little biased (check my location), but it is hard to beat Vail. Combination of great skiing, nightlife, and good dining options are hard to beat. That along with the ability to take trips to other areas in close proximity make it hard to beat. I travel all over Colorado and Utah with my kids for ski races. Many good places but I always leave thinking that they all have their strong points, but Vail seems to have to most universal appeal. The only criticism that I agree with would be the lack of steep terrain.
No doubt that Utah has great skiing, but as others have mentioned the nightlife is pretty poor. Snowbird and Alta are fantastic but remote with limited dining. Not impressed at all with Park City. Big Sky/Moonlight in Montana has some great skiing as well with a good western atmosphere. Great steeps and no lift lines.
Let me know if you need any specifics or guidance on Vail.
