i just decided that next weekend i am going to head out to colorado for three or four days to get some skiing in (because there is apparently no snow to be had here on the east coast) and i was wondering what mountain, in the Denver area, people would recommend (best conditons, best terrain, etc.). thanks!!

go to vail. so much terrain it's rediculous.
and to the people who are gonna say it's too crowded, you just don't know where to ski and when.

break and keystone are probably your best bet for all round, they both have everything.
The most fun i have ever had skiing was at A-Basin on a huge day. So im a big fan of that place as well.
Vail is dope but a little but more $$ overall.

i went for two days so we got to do a lot of both. what you may consider "no good" was amazing to me, so it didn't matter. i went both days without ever hearing the scraping of metal edges on pure ice.

Winter Park just got slammed with two storms this past week with waaaaaay more snow than any of the summit county resorts. The small and both medium parks are open, but there is good stuff to be had all over the mountain.

Just stay in the Frisco area, Copper is 5 mins away, Keystone and Breck are like 15-20 mins away. That way If you go somewhere and you dont really like it or conditions are bad you can just hit up a different mountain. Thats what I do and love the options. If you want to vail is like 1-1.5 hours away and is another option, a-basin isnt far away either but I have never been there. After all your going skiing, you cant go wrong.

keystone and breck both have good parks and decent all around skiing. breck is pretty flat, keystone has good tree runs on the 3rd mtn.
