I’d definitely mix it up a bit. Try them all! Coronet Peak and Remarks are very close to QT but TC and Cardrona are still doable - 1 hr trip or so? My favourite is Cardrona - Treble Cone would be ace if it had fresh snow but unfortunately the times I have been there it hasn’t had any for a while… Never been to Snow Park, wish I did!

I have been to the remarkables the most and its probs my favorite. Followed closely by cardrona. Cardrona is probably the biggest in the area around queenstown. It takes a little longer to get to than remarks, however you can get combined bus/lift pass for like 100 bucks.

I haven’t been to Wanaka since I was a kid, But Remarkables and Cardrona are pretty good. When I go again I would prob split my time between staying at Queenstown and staying at Wanaka rather than the extra commute.
