BigSky or New Location?

After a 15 year break of no skiing, I have taken my family of beginners to BigSky for the last 2 years, which has been an awesome fit for us. We are thinking of trying a new location this winter, just for variety, but are questioning whether another location will suite our needs as well as Bigsky. If you have location suggestions that I should be researching, please let me know. Our priorities are listed below:

1) Lower Crowds

2) Good Ski School / Child Care

3) Ski in Ski out accommodations

4) Good selection of Green and Blue runs

Thanks in advance for any intel!

your first priority is going to be limited by your last three and vice versa

Steamboat would be a good fit, but I don't know what their ski school is like.

Thank you for the replies. Do you have thoughts on Fernie? After looking information on BC, it looks like it would have a lot of what we are looking for.
