1 word. Vail!
You could spend 3 days just in the Back Bowls and Blue Sky Basin alone, and never be bored. They are IMMENSE!!
My family planned on skiing around Summit County last year the week we were out since we had their Epic 7 day passes, for a variety of reasons, weather conditions and slick roads included, we ended up doing 5 days at Vail and a day and a 1/2 at Beavercreek. We easily could of done another week at Vail alone! Absolutely loved the incredible amount and variety of terrain there!!
It was about a 2hr or drive from DIA West on I-70 when I did it last year (agree with the sentiments that it can be a little sketchy/nerve wracking in bad weather) and you're about 30 min past Breck and the masses that go there
