So I booked my trip to Aspen.... Also going to salt Lake City for 4 days going to hit snowbird, deer valley, and I honestly don't know where I'll end up after probably solitude or Brighton..... Any recommendations from my fellow newschoolers would be very helpful I'm planning on Jackson Hole in February and possibly ski Big three or Big sky

If you can get out to Squaw and Alpine I would go, to me Squaw will always be my favorite mountain espcislly on the epic pow days of yesteryear. To me it's one of the greatest mixes of terrain out there, good park, and hell you can ski all those classic Mcconkey and Gaffney lines.

If your going to Utah I would just stick to the Cottonwood canyons resorts (Alta, Snowbird, Brighton, Solitude). I have never skied Alta but 4 days is not near enough time to even come close to exploring all of Snowbird. Brighton is more of a snowboard park and Solitude is nice but the lifts are setup weird so to hit the back bowl it takes like 3 lifts to get back to the top. Deer Valley is only really good if you are 60 years old and like moguls.

Aspen is legit too, I would stick to Highlands if you are a good skier and like steeps. Holy God it is steep there. If you are in good shape, hiking the Highland Bowl is epic.
