Would appreciate help planning a trip for next year with my 9 year old. He is a confident blue skier and likes to try easier blacks. He likes going in and out of the trees and has fun in runs with moguls off to the side of the groomers. We have done Winter Park, Snowmass, and Steamboat. Looking for somewhere new to try together. Would be great to have lodging at the base area with food easily accessible as we will likely fly and not have a car. Any suggestions for a good spot for us? Edit to add we have the full Ikon pass

Looking at your requirements, id lean towards maybe Jackson Hole? The town itself is great, there's a bus that runs right to the resort, plenty of blues and blacks to try out, easy access from airport where you wouldn't need a car in town.

Also maybe sun valley in Idaho? Fly into Hailey direct and then get a 15 min shuttle to the ski area town. It's a fun spot with plenty of lodging and food in the town. I really had a nice ski trip there when I drove through in March, everyone was super friendly

Logically going through other resorts, Crystal and Snoqualmie are out due to lodging/food, Utah doesn't have those huge bases with food except maybe deer valley. Mt bachelor in oregon is isolated and you need a car, mammoth/Palisades need a car, Taos a car. Big sky is an option but I don't think there's much food if you got a place right on the mountain.
