Hey im deciding wether to go on a trip to Breckenridge in Colorado or Snow Bird in Utah.
IF anyone has been to any of these places leave comments giving me some insight on either mountain.

If you wanna ski park, go to Breck. If you don't, go to Snowbird.

while if your taking about extremes they're a park ski, so they'd be better off at Breck because of the parks. But dont let that affect your descion that much. snowbird has sick pow, so if your from the EC Snowbird would be better I think because you'd get to ski actual pow.

been to both. both are suppper leget.
snowird has better snow i think some gnarlier lines and in bounds cliffs NO PARK
breck. really good tree lines (windows off peak 9 i think) more terrain. not as much snow sick fucking park.
the medium park is more legit then most other parks out there! and better night life
if your looking for blower powder on bluebird days and sweet steeps n cliffs n trees go to snow bird.
if you want some sweet tree lines and TONS of terrain and some still pretty fucking good powder along with a dope ass park go to breck

snowbirds my favorite mountain, it's great if you like gnarly stuff, cliffs an pow. - if your buying day tickets it's like $60.

breck is way legit for their park - if your buying day tickets it's like $90.

so if you want to ski park go to breck.
pow snowbird.

variety go with Breck. While i have not skied the bird i have skied Alta and BCC, and i must say breck has the variety, and its pretty damn big aswell. I wouldnt want to ski Alta with a group of novices. As a pretty strong skier myself (claim:) i definitely had my share of "holy shit" moments at Alta. but breck is still awesome, and if its your first time out west, you will absolutely love breck. plus the town is awesome. Snowbird's village, not so much.

if you want to hit mellow groomers you have the lower parts of all 4 mtns at breck, and peak 7 is pretty fun for easy stuff. when you want something new, hit the Tbar and imperial if its open. then you can always head over towards peak 7 and YChutes. or the lake chutes. if you want to hit trees, breck has some of the best ive skied. over on peak 10 The Burn. or if you want something mellower, Ore bucket back on 7.

as much as i love utah. my vote goes breck this time.

Park is a lot of fun, the rest is just groomers like everywhere else.
