Replying to Need help planning the upcoming season!

Hi everybody!

My buddy and I are have been planning our season for awhile now, I we know that we are gonna end up in Whistler around the Telus festival (late April). Since we have spend our last season there, but we wanna get the Olympics out of the way, before returning.

So our plan is to stay a few month in the States before heading up to Canada. We are both danish, and are planning on leaving for the States in early to mid January.

This is were we would like some help from you guys, we really don't know that much about the resorts in the US. So any help would be much appriciated. Cost of season passes, walk ore drive distance to the mountain, price on accomadation (or if any of you have a spot for to skibums for a few months), how the parks and the powder are and the bars and the nightlife.

So just all in all what would be a good resort for us to visit. I would say we ski a little more park than powder, but I nice mix of the two would be great (like Whistler).

Resorts we have been talking about visiting (but really know nothing about):
- Breckenridge
- Northstar Tahoe
- Park City
- Keystone

Feel free to comment! Any advice is good advice for us!

Thanks!
