breck and keystone are interchangeable for no.1 in my opinion. they are both fantastic and they both have little intricacies that are better than the other. as for 3, 4, and 5 though... that's tough. mammoth is in there for sure. other than that who knows?

Why does everyone like backcomb so much I go there at least 10 times a year and the rails don't seem to great, everyone time I've been they have just had stock rails nothing really uniq.

But the jumps in the biggest park are really sick along with the chair lap.

My Top 5 (I've been to all of these mountains):

1) Whistler
2) Breckenridge
3) Laax
4) Keystone
5) Tremblant (home mountain = biased)

Having just come back from Colorado, I am completely unbiased and I think that Breck's park is better than Keystones. Altho Keystone has the superior lift situation, their features are lacking that little extra touch. The jumps onto the boxes, rails are brutal and the medium jump line kickers are sub-par.

From what I have skied/seen, I would say in no particular order,

Breck
Keystone
Mommoth
Whistler
PC

with Mount Snow definitely in the top ten.

But wait five years, Copper's park will be the best in the country. With SPT and Woodward there, they are putting a lot of time into freestyle skiing.

could happen. Intrawest has the $$$ and copper has always had cool ideas, but judging from the season i rode there, they just can't fuck with breck's consistency and magnitude.. plus i can't imagine kids buying a copper/winterpark pass instead of the 5-mountain or epic...

Copper/Winter Park pass is 100 bucks cheaper than the three mountain, and with SPT this year, their stuff was consistent, just small and meh. But they have better boxes than Breck, and when they pump up there jump line...Its gonna be good, just will take a few years before they get it down on how to make the big jumps nice.

naw dude you cant put loon above breck, the whole breck keystone battle is so ridiculous, theyre both fucking sick, why fight which ones better? if you think brecks better and people like keystone better, thats less lines for you and visa versa. anyway heres my top ones from what ive skied
breck/keystone (or keystone/brek as to not make fights)
park city
mammouth
mount snow
sunday river/loon

loons my home mountain too, that shits pretty dope for the ice coast
