Which is better and why?

I have two opportunities to choose from. I want your opinion on which is better, and why. Basically, I'm choosing between Keystone (K) and Mt. Hood (H), but it's more in depth than just choosing a mountain.

K: The keystone trip would be for a full week, maybe longer, maybe shorter, so it can be anywhere from 3-7 days of skiing. All of this skiing would be park. The huge benefit of this trip is free lodging.

H: The Hood trip would only be 3 or 4 days of skiing, and I would be paying for lodging, but one of those days would be dedicated to hiking with a pow ski.

I personally prefer Mt Hood's mountain but Sounds like keystone is the better buy

If I'm not in the park, I would be in powder. Keystone has good back stuff, and you can hike out a little or even take a cat, but at Hood you can take a lift up, hike for 15 or 20 minutes, and hit amazing untouched territory.

Keystone is obviously the better buy, but I would prefer to ski Hood.

Oh I left out a major detail, my bad. Money is a pretty big issue. I'm kinda looking for someone to sway me to ski Keystone. Plus, the extra money will get me an extra like three days of skiing at keystone, which is another issue, skiing Hood, or more skiing at Keystone.

well if i had to choose to go on a ski vacation and miss school and work for up to seven or ten days i would take that instead of three days.

You will have fun at both so i say go to keystone if you can still hike for powder and you will be there three days longer or whatever
