Breck pretty much sucks except for park, there is some ok glades on peak 10, a fairly steep bowl at the top of peak 8, but overall, pretty damn boring.  Go to A-basin or Vail

vail is definitely not flat. Vail has the sickest terrain around other then the southern resorts. and Vail also has a fun park. Vail=the ultimate mountain

the terrain is fun, not crazy. the lake chutes are more technical then anything at vail. check-out the t-bar and imperial, falcon chair and, of course, under the gondy.

Peak 7 and Lake Chutes is pretty much it for inbounds.
For sicker terrain, head to the north side of Peak 6 (OB). 
There are also some damn gnarly chutes outside Peak 10 (also OB).

But for steeps, head to A-Basin and lap the Pali lift all day (terrain on the backside by Zuma sucks and isn't worth your time).

yeah, expect forty minute lift lines, or hike to peak 3, take all day and some of the night, and only ride the chair once....but peak 6 is sick so if you stay up high and hike to different places then you can avoid the lines...
