Snow Summit v. Bear Mtn.

I'm new to the area and am skiing with a friend for one day next week who is also not a local. We are advanced skiers and need to decide between Bear Mtn. and Snow Summit. I've been to Bear Mtn. and wasn't that thrilled -- 80% boarders and the two decent lifts were not connected. There was one steep run at the top, but it got old after a while.

Is Snow Summit better? We're looking for the most advanced runs possible in the area, including any bumps, shutes, etc.

I know these resorts aren't Jackson Hole in terms of difficulty and I'm not expecting serious black diamond stuff, but I'm hoping Summit is better than Bear Mtn. Your input is appreciated!
