BW gets great reviews for snowmaking and grooming. I noticed they are open this Monday for closing day and am a little tempted to check it out. I know that I won't be seeing it at its best, though.

We loved both Pico and Okemo--actually Sunday River, too! We missed the flash sale on the SR gold pass, so I just put that out of my mind. Loon is probably the most crowded place I've ever been, so I honestly didn't even consider that one. I had the luxury of skiing there on a weekday and it was fabulous but the weekends I've been there have been tough. Pico seemed similar in # of trails, and there were no lift lines when I was there on a holiday weekend, so I'd probably go that route before Loon. If we get the Killington pass, I think I can use it at Pico which could be great for crowds.

I agree with @ilovepugs . We did a couple of week long 1/2 day programs at Bolton Valley, when our son was about 9. He really enjoyed it, and improved a lot. Depending on the age of your kids, I would highly recommend it.

Sunday River has great seasonal programs for kids and adults. I've done a winter of the women's seasonal as well as racing and the co-ed adult groups. I don't have kids, but have heard a lot of great things about those programs as well. There is such a great variety of terrain both on and off piste, it's my favorite place in New England to ski. 
We loved our trips to SR! I missed the flash sale though--so we are considering buying the Gold pass next March now, to use from then on and for the '19-'20.Sunday River has great seasonal programs for kids and adults.

Excellent, planning ahead, it's such a great place!! I on the other hand cannot get out of my own way and figure out what pass I want next season and have therefore raised my price just about everywhere by missing the April deadlines before price increases. Sigh..
It is so hard to decide this early! We ended up going with the Sunapee/Okemo pass--which gives us the possibility of a trip to Crested Butte next Feb vaca. Gives me time to find a seasonal rental near Okemo and if I can't, then I can book random lodging, and Sunapee is a day trip option...nothing felt ideal to me after MaxPass. Good luck figuring out your plan!

Any update? I realized that you were impacted by the sale of Triple Peaks to Vail Resorts.
