I'm going to be in Colorado by tomorrow afternoon. Most of my time is gonna be spent at Solvista - Granby Ranch. My uncle works there so I ski free. Its not great but its got some jumps and rails to hit. I'm going to take some day trips out to Arapaho Basin and Breck though. I'm familiar with ABasin, but I havn't been to Breck for a long time. I'm not a great skiier by any means. I landed my first three, and super backseat at that, last weekend. I'm pretty decent at hitting rails, but I only go to the left and I can't switchup and I can barely switch on. I was wondering what park at breck has some good jumps and easy rails for a beginner park skier.

I'm gonna throw hard in colorado, there is a rail comp coming up in fairbanks in a few weeks that I wan't to enter and I want learn some new stuff to show off.

At Breck, parklane is great for being okay at jumps and decent at rails. You can get 4 jumps and like nine rails in one lap.

My question, if you read the post, was what park at breck is good for a beginner park skier. I should have titled the thread differently I guess...

yeah park lane is awesome, its sweet cause you can hit like 10-30 footers up top, then at the bottom you get like a 30 and 45. plus a shit ton of rails. i like freeway and all, but park lane is just alot more fun.

freeway would be better if more people do it, I go in there and I am the only one doing the jumps and it is like...this is scary as fuck. It just feels so good to do them though, so big and smooth.

yeah the jumps are awesome, way better than keystones big line imo. but its just too much fun getting like 20 hits in park lane. plus yeah it sucks when your like the only one in there and you just gotta guess the speed, cause those suck to knuckle on, or overshoot.

You should hit up Copper and the new Woodward camp while you're out. Make a day trip and do a day camp with on snow/barn coaching or go up for the evening and do the drop-in barn sessions.
