Hoodoo edges ahead in more categories, though the gap is close. Both are excellent resorts.
Both resorts have comparable vertical drop — you'll get a similar length run at either mountain.
Hoodoo gets substantially more snow each season — a meaningful edge for powder seekers and late-season skiing.
Both resorts offer a similar proportion of beginner terrain — neither has a meaningful edge for first-timers.
Bromont is much larger — significantly more trails means more variety and far less chance of skiing the same run twice in a week.
Hoodoo's higher base elevation helps snow stay cold and dry longer — better conditions through the day and into spring.

Hoodoo wins on the stats that matter most for experienced skiers — more mountain to explore over a full week.
Hoodoo gets more snow annually — better odds of fresh powder and better conditions into late season.

Hoodoo gets more snow on average. That translates to better powder days, longer seasons, and more reliable conditions throughout January and February.
Bromont is the larger mountain by trail count (Hoodoo: 34 trails, Bromont: 152 trails). On a week-long trip, a bigger mountain means more variety and a lower chance of feeling like you've exhausted the terrain.
