3 Colorado hills in three days. Suggestions on which to pick?

So it looks like I'm going to get to go to next year's SIA show in Denver as a buyer. I work for a shop that rents XC ski gear in the winter, but that doesn't mean I can't check out all the other goodies, do the on-snow demos at Copper Mountain, or get the other perks... One of the other perks is three free days at any Colorado resorts for registered SIA buyers.
I'm already going to be doing three days at Crested Butte the week before (Powder Alliance season pass for the win) and will be driving back to SW Montana by way of SLC, so I'm thinking the northern resorts. Right now my idea is:
Week before: 1 day at Snowbasin, 3 at Crested Butte, SIA show in Denver
Mon: demo day at Copper
Tues: demo day at Copper
Weds: A-Basin
Thurs: Winter Park
Fri: Steamboat
I'm what I'd call a true intermediate, meaning I can handle anything rated black or below here in Montana, including trees and so on that are at about the same gradient as black-rated trails. I like small air and occasional tight spots but I'm not about to drop some 55-degree chute with a cliff at the bottom. I'm generally a freerider but will take an occasional run through the park. If there's powder I want to find it and I might be up for booting it for some turns, if my legs aren't completely shot by the end of this trip.
Just looking for suggestions on hills that will be fun, match my riding profile, and not be quite as touristy as say Keystone... I'm getting seriously stoked about this trip already even though it's more than 9 months away. I do all my normal riding at Bridger Bowl, which is great, but it's sure going to be cool to see a bunch of new hills in a short period of time.
