I'm currently thinking whether I should go by my car (AWD) or if my friend's Jetta (FWD) would work fine for this trip. Any advice is welcomed!

Go to Steamboat, you want to stay away from the crowds that Denver "provides" to Summit County (A-basin, Keystone, Breckenridge, Copper Mtn). Vail isn't much better than Summit County. If you drive that far (IA and NE, ouch!) you might as well drive another hour or two so you don't have lift lines. Another favorite of mine is Crested Butte. I'll let Google maps/respective websites help you figure out which one is best for you. Both Steamboat and Crusty Butt (the "local" name) have freaking great skiing. It's a crapshoot who has more in December. Cheers, Alex.
