First time visiting CO, where should I go?

I've never been to Colorado before and I'm not sure where to go, I can get into Breckenridge, Keystone, Winterpark and Eldora for free and right now I'm leaning towards Breck but I was hoping I could get some locals' opinions. I'm from southern California so I ski park all the time, I know there's no epic Colorado terrain that's really rideable right now but what could I do to get a feel for CO?

Breck is always a good time. Keystone isnt bad. They are the only ones with decent parks right now, and if you stay in one of those places, you can ride the other easily as well.

Even Keystone's jibs are fairly lame right now, Breck for everything I say.

Agreed. Plus Breck has the best town of the places you listed. Stay away from Eldora at all costs - it's the shittiest place to ski in CO by far haha

Breck was amazing, there was some snow before and while I was there and I found a bit of treeskiing to do, good stuff.

Haha, you must not get any snow at all where you live.
On a seperate note, does anyone else feel like Keystone's park is pure crap this year? The only thing I like is the big line. The medium jumps are flat as ever and the rails are about as exciting as Ben Affleck's movies. I'm really disappointed in what they are doing to that park. Breck is as sick as ever, especially the Dew Tour Course. Park Lane is awesome for learning new stuff and dialing in old tricks. Lift lines are worth it, no more Keystone for me this year.
