There's a decent possibility that I can take a week with accommodations comped at some good ski locations:
Beaver Creek
Breckenridge
Copper Mountain
Deer Valley
Jackson Hole
Steamboat
Stowe
Sun Valley
Tahoe
Telluride
Basically I could go to any destination listed here:

But hey I want to ski. I can go during ski season, except holidays. I'd have to book 90 days in advance so ski conditions couldn't be predicted or considered.
For me... the overriding factor would be having the best chance for great conditions and new snow. However the timing of this trip coincides roughly with my wife's 40th birthday. In order to convince her not to choose one of the other available destinations (Paris), she'd have to believe that there would be entertainment for a wife on a big birthday and a four year old.
What do you think? What's the best choice in your opinion?
EDIT: I left out Deer Valley and Jackson Hole.
