hey everybody,

after spending almost all of my life in shitty european ressorts i am lucky enough to be friends with a girl who will be skiing instructor at breckenridge this season. i will fly over there with 2 friends around christmas and we will stay for 23 days. yes you heard me, that will be 22 days of skiing, straight!

i have never been to colorado in my life, so i want to know which one of the ressorts included in the epic pass (breck, keystone, vail, beaver creek and arapahoe basin) is best for powder. correct me if i'm wrong but i'd say that breck and key are the best for park? judging just on from what i've heard on this site...

this is without a doubt the trip of my lifetime, i mean i will tell my grandkids stories about this trip! "back in the days when we had snow..." haha... also feel free to post anything that will make this trip as enjoyable for us as possible. post some good parties, cool places to be, good shops (skiing of course) and whatever you want.

about us. 3 guys from germany, ages 22, 22 and 19. if that matters for the parties or whatever.

yes i have an older friend in utah and he told me stories about the "tourist traps" of colorado. i lived in utah for one year so i really enjoy the feel of the smaller ressorts.

anyways, for park skiing i guess there's nothing wrong with the big ressorts, but if anybody wants to meet up at one of the smaller ressorts and show us around a little bit, or just ski with some germans for a day pm me for cell phone numbers. we speak english don't worry haha

and thanks for your input twig ski!

if you want to make your trip a true memory i would drive down to silverton and hit up the massive lines there. its about a 2 hour drive from vail but worth every second because of the heli skiing type of lines that are to be had. the lift tickets are only 49 bucks but avy gear is required but its so worth it. i think too its 10 bucks off if you have an a-basin pass. if you go sleep in your car or get a cheap hotel and stay a couple of days best powder in colorado hands down!
