i hear a-basin is good for cliffs and stuff like that that your looking for. I would recommend looking into that if you dont care at all about park

im from colorado so heres what i have to say.... the snow sucks right now. if you want anything good your best bet is to go way back to somewhere like vail or beaver creek. if your set on breck or copper, i would say copper. i havent been this season, but they have WAY better back side skiing than breck does. they have some wicked steeps too. the post before was correct, a-basin has the cliffs and steeps, but none of it is open yet (bummer). thats my 2 cents.

the front range mountains haven't gotten much snow but places like aspen and steamboat have. if you can go to either of those places that would be best. between breck and copper, breck's mountain is pretty weak, i go their mostly just to ride park. if it's between breck and copper i would definitely say copper.

Keystone has Cat Acess to bowls, and a good park. Brek is not the gretest if you like BC style. I haven't been to copper recently so I can't give you and ideas on that

yeah a-basin would be good if they could get the east headwall and land of the gaints and shit open, but its not. if you wanna huck some, probably go to vail. me and some pals just lapped the northwood express lift, and there were enough hits to keep us occupied the entire day, i woudld deffinately recommend goin there if you wanna hit some cliffs right now, but if youre comin out in a while who knows a-basin may get the stuff open

i dont think the east head wall will open this season, if it does it wont be for a while.

Did Winterpark ever cross your mind? Your talking about a hours drive from Breck to WP. The snow is quite a bit better there from what I've heard with most terrain and parks open.

winter park is awsome. the only thing that takes away from it is the shortness of the runs. you can make a run in like.... 2 mins and then have to wait on the 5-7 min lift ride. if you can, go there for one day just to expeiriance the legendary bumps.
