Best bet is Jackson Hole.  They have a 51" base on the upper mountain and it will be snowing almost every day for the the next week.  They will open up the tram this weekend giving access to most all the mountain.  If you could change your destination, this would be a great choice.  You also could run over to Grand Targhee, WY which has more snow than JH.

The storm track is changing for the next week and possibly through the new year to include the southern rocky's in the pattern.  The NW, northern and southern rockies all should benefit from the new storm track.  If you go to colorado, 86 the wide rides, bring your junkers or rent.

There are a few websites that give good information on powder chasing: opensnow.com, powerchasers.com, and a precipitation loop website that forecasts out 8 days: http://weather.rap.ucar.edu/model/displayMod.php?var=gfs_sfc_prcp&loop=loopall&hours=hr012
