So here's the deal. I'm from Northern California and me and a few buddies wanna go on a road trip outta state. I said Colorado mainly cuz I have family there but BC is also an option. We wanna go to a place that has a little of everything but is NOT CROWDED or expensive. Which places should I check out? Any info is greatly appreciated.

What are you talking about? I can't really speak for Breck, but at Keystone, if you don't ski on the front side, which most good skiers don't (unless you want to ski park), you go to the backside, which is not crowded at all.

not to mention the back is WORLDS above the front in terms of quality of skiing; if you ski on the front side for purposes other than park, you're either a terrible skier, or an idiot

Wolf Creek. Not crowded, lots of snow, pretty inexpensive.
