Replying to Aspen Early Season

Hey guys i am running a trip next winter probably December 12th-19th and we are trying to decide where to go. I am coming from Ohio and we have to plan the trip super early because of the number of people. Last year we went to winter park and it was alright but not great. This year we are looking at aspen and would get the 4 mountain pass. So what I am wondering is in the past years how does aspen, snowmass, highlands, and buttermilk look around the middle of december? Any thoughts would be great
