Replying to Steep skiing out of boulder

I'm from Washington but i just checked out CU boulder this weekend. The school and the surrounding area were awesome, but i drove up into the mountains and looked at some of the ski areas and they all looked kind of flat.

do breck keystone or eldora have much in the way of big steep faces or many cliffs.

A basin was the exception but its not all that big.

am i right that these mountains lack steep skiing, and if they do how far do i have to go to find it

also how is the backcountry around boulder, and how high up is there a snowpack most of the winter?
