Keystone sucks ass..breck is good if you like high wind, shitty snow, and a small park
Copper and Vail are f#$king awesome. GReat snow this season...copper's park is pretty
good...they keep adding to it...vail's park is huge...lots of tables, some wicked cool
rails...so big,big,big air...but floaded with snowboarders all the time. I am bias towards
copper since i work there ~ mtn is really nice and you wont get raped trying to eat lunch
there...if you are there give me a notice
Can't think of anything funny to say `skiing is fun`

Copper's park is getting pretty nice...they have 4 big airs, 5 medium hits, and 5 beginer hits.
They have 2 pipes, and a quater pipe, two rails (they were putting another one in last week). They
normally do a good job on reshaping, but in march there are tons of tourist that tear up
the park (except for the big air section). I personally like it alot, the openess and the set up and the
variety of hits/tables. Copper is much cheaper than vail....if I still have some discount tickets $20, I would
be glad to let you use them...

breck's part was pretty cool about 3 years ago....but it hasn't changed much

as before, vails park is big...big air, and big area

Alright cool ill probably ski breck and copper in the 3 days of skiing i have since we are staying in breckenridge. So if you could hook me up with those discount passes thatd be awsome instead of paying 50 dollars! Ill be out there March 29th 30th and 31st so friday saturday and sunday let me know if youll be out there any of those days.

I live in CO but I have a season pass to Winter Park, and that place sucks ass. If you could hook me up with those discount tickets it would be great, I really need to get to a good park.

hey
i would go to copper a day, vail a day,a dn then a toss up between beaver creek and breck. breck park is bigger, but super crowded. beaver's park is always empty, they have all kinds of rails and pretty good hits there. also, the pipe is preety huge. 18 foot walls with 30 foot transitions, and mostly all to yourself. terrain wise, almost everywhere has something good except keystone. vail is my favorate, copper is pretty good, breck has some sweet OB and some ok hike to terrain, and beaver has some sweet trees and ok OB.

Don't eliminate Beaver Creek. it's just a few minutes from Vail and has a surprisingly sick park with a monstrous pipe. Your Vail pass should get you on their lifts too.
There's some video on jibij.com from last week on the e-sessions video page.

breck has great snow off of peak 7 and the park is not crowded at all on weekdays. Definately worth checking out, they re-groom all the hits daily and groom the pipe on saturdays.

Go to VAIL and ski some back bowls but make sure it is on a weekday. That place sux ass on weekends because of the lines. I went to Copper Earlier this year and I really liked their park. That would be my second choice! Enjoy while im stuck in Chicago with no snow!

Breck's park doesn't even compare to Copper's. Not even the same ball park. I usually ride breck, but competed last weekend at copper. The trannies at copper except for they're big air hit are super short. This means you really have to know your speed judgement when hittin em up. Especially no good if you're just visiting. Vail has the best big mnt riding in the country.

yeah, there is no way that vail has the best big mountain in the country, I can't compare to alta and the bird, jackson hole, any of those places
