I'm excited to hit Loveland this year. I got a 4-pack so i'll be up for sure this year.
I have the Epic pass...so I'll be hittin Vail more than usual this year. Otherwise, A-basin and Keystone are where I frequent.

Loveland and Arapahoe Basin hands down. Can't beat ABasin's Pali side when there's fresh powder.

I voted "all" because they all have good things. Steamboat was the first place I skied when I moved to Colorado, and lived there for 3 years as a ski bum. Best powder in the state! Vail's got great back bowls, I like the layout of Copper, Loveland's close and laid back, etc., etc.
I've skied all of the ones you listed, plus Aspen, Snowmass, Mary Jane, etc. but I've never heard of Echo Mountain. Where's that?

Steamboat is my favorite because it's location makes it more of a destination resort...
Weekday skiing is often virtually free of crowds---great powder, fun town, nice people....Aspen best town for nightlife and summer rec., cycling, hang gliding...Have not been to Eldora in years..used to night ski there..Gonna check that out soon

I have to agree with Loveland for all the reasons above - the thought of driving another 45 min to Copper, pay to park in a decent space then spend 1/2 the day standing in a lift line just not as appealing. Loveland is great but SHHHHH.....
