breck and key are what everyone will tell you are the superior parks, but thats all up to you in the end. Breck and Key are great parks, but Winter Parks is good as well, i feel like Winter Park has the best overall parks for progression and for building your skills, and all there features are always super fun and built well, plus the snow at winter park is always better then at breck and key, and alot less people most of the time as well.
But if I were you i'd make a lap, hit up a few days at each, i like the WP town vibe as well, deffinately a fun area!

so you're from mn, you'll love copper, keystone and breck. so many rails. copper is sick cuz you can hit stuff from the time you get off the lift at the top all the way to the bottom basically.

Echo is fun for about 3 hours, then it tends to get boring.
Keystone has sick features, and i haven't ridden breck. Winter park is def. Solid and has the best snow. The jumps are sooo smooth, Def. don't look past it because it is a "Family resort" all that means is no rich assholes.

Keystone is the best unless you have the nuts for Breck. Keystone has so many rails and a good variety of different sized jumps. The big line isnt quite as big as Brecks but compared to most parks in MN (just a guess) they are still real big. Breck is always perfect though. If you want a more pro style park, hit Breck, if you like more laid back yet still pretty big go to Keystone.

I didn't like Breck that much because it was too spread out. I was with a friend who was easily good enough to shred freeway but there wasn't shit for me there except the A frame box. Keystone has it all in one spot and I thought it was just as legit as any of the parks at Breck. The jumps in freeway take it, but A51 has a lot of stuff in one spot, and under one lift.

keystone has really fun setup and not totally HUGE b ut still big. brek i think is way too spread out. vail is pretty fun but way off to the side of where i liek to ski at vail mostly and beaver creek has some really fun hits and pretty well placed. kestone though is super legit and fun. also close together

I would do breck or keystone, they are both rediculous and a lot of fun. breck is probably a little more intimadating but everything is always perfect there. you should really try to spend a couple of days at each if you have the option.

apparently CB is stepping it up this year since DC is pushing them to put together a better park, but we'll see hopefully it happens. Supposedly alot of the crew was under intensive training from the DC Mtn Lab crew or something. Time will only tell!

ya and last year you had to get speed before you got into the park just to get over them

Did you ski there last year? Do you weight 80 pounds? Do you generally not pop off jumps and therefore not clear them? There really were no problems on the jumps last year as you could carve into each one, except the last on slow days.

Good Review Man
Our problem is that CBMR has to match DC on every penny, if they don't DC will pull out, CB does'nt give a shit about park, it is run by an asshole that hates park riders, and has never hit a jump in his life

keystone doenst set up any of their sick rails, most all of the parks are weak on that, and key always has mad holes in all the landings, i would slide the breck rails over them, but they can be big and scary, if you like smaller rails to go winterpark
