Seasonal youth ski programs (Bear Valley vs Tahoe)

I'm exploring seasonal youth downhill ski programs for my 7 year old for next winter and wondering if other families have experience with this in either Bear Valley or Tahoe. So far I've been looking at Sugar Bowl, Tahoe Donner, and Bear Valley. Bear Valley has the best schedule for us (every other weekend, program includes both Sat and Sun) but also the most limited housing options in the area. Curious what others with kids in ski programs do for reasonable accomodation (ski leases, etc.). Thanks.
