Svend - Snowbasin is a must, definitely on my must go back to list; great runs, awesome views, and opulent ski lodges with very reasonable prices, and I have heard great things about Powder Mountain as well......more of a local feel, lots of off-piste runs.

Snowbird is fun, steep and nice variety of terrain, haven't been to Alta, but I hear it is another "shouldn't miss". For me, Park City was nice but was kind of vanilla - coming from North Carolina it seems odd to complain about a nice big mountain like that, but that was my experience.  To be honest, the conditions weren't great and I was with my kids, so it might have influenced my run choices and biased my impressions.
