actually the snow is about the same, except breck is a bit windier if there is wind. keystone is great for anything, so is breck. if you wanna do rails, go to keystone. jumps, breck. all mountain, either. they are really close to the same

Breck has a much better pipe. The stone has more rails and smaller but perfect jumps, and its own chair (whereas at Breck you may wait 20 min in line on a weekday).

im gonna be going out west in the 2nd week of february.  i'm looking at keystone, but i imagine its gonna be packed at that time of year.  is it worth going or should i look for a smaller place in colorado.  id also take powder over park anyday so is keystone the place to go?

keysotnes park is a work of art
there jumps are perfectly built
brecks jumps are HUGE there pipe is HUGE and there rails are HUGE

dont go to keystone for pow,
go to a-basin vail copper or breck
vail has the most terrain for pow but its vail

park wise they are about the same, i mean breck is massive but im content at either, the one park about keystone i hate is getting to and from the goods, way to many chair lifts, so i would say breck for overall enjoyment, but it can get supper windy

yeah if its bad weather go to keystone
breck will be windy and they will shut down the jumps and it might shit on you(not snow slush) and keystones park is in a valley so wind doesnt get to it

the wind does get to it, not as bad as breck, but the wind always blows uphill which can make the larger line of jumps unhitable at times, especially the last one. i actually like keystone's park better, way better rails; the jumps are money though smaller than breck, which is better for learning; the only thing breck has significantly better is the pipe. oh, and lift lines can be rediculous at breck, whereas keystone it's long if it's 10 minutes, even on weekends, and it's pretty empty during the week. as for pow neither are that great, go to vail, copper, or abasin.

actually it's common sense, stay away from the crowded areas, and go where people aren't. that are get in the hiking mindset.

keystone has like a fun chill park. brecks is like you have to get psyced and prepared for each feature, you can just flow through them, they are all scary

brecks jumps are massive and keystones rails are perfect (their jumps are great too), but keystone has night park skiing. breck can also have gnarly winds that can drop the temperature down to well below zero.

for powder, keystone does have some really nice tree stashes. but so does copper, basin, and vail. but the secret places for powder that doesn't get skied off and no lift lines are loveland and bever creek. the lake chutes at breck are nice, but over rated. if you know big mountain, you'll be very under-whelmed by lake chutes.
