Replying to best resort?

I know everyone's gonna be jealous but I think I can get away with taking the winter off from school to ski anywhere in the US. I'm looking for suggestions on where to go. I don't have a car so I want to live close to or on the mountain, and I probably will run out of money so I need a good job market.
I've heard vail is considered the best resort now but I've also heard its pricey. Does anyone know what season pass prices are gonna be? Is it easy to find cheap housing? Thanks
