I live in Salt Lake city for the winter and work remotely so I can snowboard, but I was doing this prior to the pandemic. I also have a friend who lives in Austin, Texas normally, whos planning on moving to Colorado for the winter to snowboard as well. Those are just anecdotes, so who knows how prevalent this trend is.

I would love to do this, but lodging near slopes tends to be quite expensive - do you stay a bit further away, or have you had success sharing a house with a group of people doing the same thing?

Salt Lake city is quite affordable and im ~45 minutes to Brighton, Park city, Solitude, Snowbird, etc, excluding traffic. But pretend i didn't say that, traffic in the canyons already sucks, and more people will only make it worse.

Try Montreal? A great and affordable city. Only 1.5 hour drive to Mont Treblant.

Montreal? For Snowboarding? No offense, but snowboarding conditions in the western United States and western Canada is so much better than Montreal. For example Mont Treblant only gets 164 inches of snow on an average year[1], while Snowbird, Alta, Brighton and Solitude in Utah average 500 inches a year.

I didn't say it was the best. Just an option. OP wanted an affordable city with skiing. Montreal fits the bill here :)

A truly great and affordable city, that is also hot and humid in the summer and then frigid in the winter.

I'll keep that in mind for the future. Not sure they'll let me in this year.
