winter park is pretty ill....Telluride is sick! what kind of shit do you ride? if your a park rat summit, or winter park is pretty good, if your more bc oriented check out Durango/CB/Teluride.

live in frisco or silverthorne. if you want to work at the hill, you'll be a bus ride away from keystone, breck, and copper, and it's cheaper to live in the towns than cllose to the hill.

if you want to ski in parks and deal w/ 30 minute lift lines all season go there, or move somewhere where you only have to battle w/ the locals during the season. Go to CB or Telluride or Durango, trust me you'll be much happier with your move.

If you want great snow (2nd most in Colorado behind Wolf Creek/400inch avg), super close to Denver (53 miles), FREE close in parking, cheap season passes, no lift lines, super long season (Mid Oct-Mid May), cheap food/beer, Loveland is your place.... Our park is on the weak side (hoping to make some improvements this summer)...Many people call Loveland "Colorado's Best Kept Secret!"


Just a tip...Maybe your first year you don't want to commit to a season pass.... Many ski areas offer 4Paks.  This might be a good way to "test drive" all the areas.... Just like buying a car, you don't want to buy it without driving it first.  Every area has something special to offer.... Check them out your first season.  Your second season you should have a good feel where you want to drop your money on a season pass....

Good Luck!!

then as jeff said, that's when silvethorne frisco is ideal. just avoid breck on weekends, it's a zoo, gapers of all kinds.
