Replying to February Trip to Colorado

We are looking to zip out to Colorado for a "smaller" trip next month with the fan, also bringing a friend who has never been out west to shred with. Approx. the 17th-22nd. Options are really being booked up. 2 options here. Do Steamboat/Winter Park (Have been to both, and loved both, going to CMC Steamboat next year, skied day at WP, park was fun, skied multiple days at Steamboat, night skiing was a blast, had fun zipping around the hill, park was fun) Or Beaver Creek/Maybe Vail (Been to Beaver a while ago, was a little one, had fun in the trees, never to Vail). Flights and accommodations are filing up quickly.
