prolly just that eagle park, last year it was like 10 jibs, none very good

rumor was they wanted to have the pipe open for the first day but driving by today it looked to still be a week from ready

I don't get why you'd live in colorado and ski copper if keystone is right down the road.

the only reason im going to ski copper is because winter park/copper passes were $200 with a wells fargo deal...and im poor so saving $200 is always nice....copper isnt bad but its no keystone

Copper is super legit! Plus for 200 bucks why wouldnt you ski it?

I thought breck key vail was like 380?


And you guys shouldn't bitch about being poor and affording passes, JUST PC is 400 and alta is like 650, snowbird is 500, etc. Pulling up an extra 200 bucks for key and breck seems very doable/necessary.

I guess what would be sick about having copper/wp is more legit actual skiing though, right?

18+ is $459 and 17- is $339

I believe the reason why co places are so cheap for passes is because there are so many tourists. They pay for $90 lift tickets and $20 hamburgers so it helps keep the pass down. I'm probably wrong but whatever.
And you can't beat the $200 split pass deal for college students for wp/copper. WP and MJ has some of the sickest terrain thats not 6 hours away.

that 460 is for 5 mountain, and vail/beave is more legit skiing the WP/Copper. 3 mountain is 400 i believe

but having breck key and vail in one only works in the 5 mountain. and maybe its just me but i would much rather skip the traffic on a pow day and hit up wp/mj instead of taking an extra hour to vail and beaver
