As an intermediate snowboarder, snowbowl has been an amazing place to learn new skills. There's plenty of room on the slopes, especially on the weekdays! Weekends get pretty busy, especially during season so if you're wanting lots of open room to learn or just shred I highly recommend going during the week! Ive never had food from base camp but I've heard it can get pretty pricy (which is a given at any ski resort) so if you're planning to eat go prepared. Other then that no complaints whatsoever.
