late feb early march is the best, but its really a crapshoot to get fresh snow anyway. thats just the time when the base is the biggest

also, if u had to choose between vail, breck and keystone, which one would you choose, I want a good mix between all mtn and park, and which one is relatively the cheapest (i know they are all expensive)
