Should we all just go to Colorado? I think it would be cheaper to do the Utah thing.

Overall I will say the Utah resorts tend to have more steeps, but that's cause they are easy to spot. Plenty of good steeps in Colorado, ya just gotta know where to look. I've never been to Utah and been OMG I can't find this in Colorado.
As far as bang for you buck. Utah is kind of hard to beat. Their by the day lift tickets haven't shot through the stratosphere like they have here. Finding passholders in Colorado is the way to get cheap tickets. All other things are pretty much the same. Lodging, food, etc...
