Went to breck over break. All peaks suck except for their bowl. Which i finally got to at 1:00 and was only able to hit a few times before the day was over.
How is breck able to say that their peak 8,9,10 actually have black diamonds??? shits weak.

fucken tourist trap. 25 minute lines too.
didn't stop at the park though would have, but was b lining it to the bowl.

/rant.

Why was this thread bumped? It's lame. I can't believe how much I freaked when this was originally posted. I rescind that response. I have barely even ridden Breck this season... the lines suck ass.

Lived in Summit last year, live in SQUAW this year. Parks in Summit are good. Lake Chutes in Breck are gnar. Besides that, nothing too intense. Summit is a strict park scene filled with skittles. If you want to get down, go to A Basin and check out the East Wall and other traverses there off the Pali area. If you want real skiing, come to Squaw Valley USA.

Not sure what to tell you, should've done your research.

Park wise? Yeah. Skiing the mountain wise? No...Outback is fun for some casual tree skiing, but that is about it my friend.

I know! Seriously! I can't believe the kids that complain about Breck and how the lines suck. The lines are nothing compared to some resorts on the east coast.

Be lucky that you kids get to ski in Colorado.

fun rarely. They get skiied out really quick on pow days because the mountain is smaller (for CO). After that Pali is a mogul/ice-fest and east wall is usually windblown with varying snow.

ya never really liked breck. Ya im spoiled and grew up on the colorado front range, but summit is just not fun. Way too many people and shitty snow cause you and 90,000 of your best friends are out there skiing it. Sure all in all its great skiing. Theres just better shit in colorado

ig·no·rant/ˈignərənt/Adjective1. Lacking knowledge or awareness in general.

considering i know
colorado is the most avalanche prone state in the us fact
the beer is 3.2 fact.
the weed sucks fact
it barely snows and all of it is wind blown there fact
its over crowded fact
its full of yuppies/east coast wanna be hotshots fact
the locals are ignorant and think that colorado gets the best snow,weed beer and people FACT
maybe if you left your safe haven and branched out like a man you would see. broaden your horizons pussy, you might be able to do some bc without risking your life and actually see what better shit there is out there.


actually stay there do some bc, then no one will have to hear you bs lies about your state, after you get stuck in a avi

I only ski two places when I go to CO (from NJ), loveland, and A basin. they're close to ym grandparents house, way less crowded, and not like 100 dollars for a ticket. plus from what i gather, they're good.

Go ski the windows when theres a lot of pow at breck. Its great cause its off of e-chair and literally no ones ever at e-chair so you can do ten minute laps. Also its slope faces north so the snow is in the shade. Umm so bomb

Its sick :) If you are going to school there, jump on the $100 pass day in the beginning of December (if they still have it).

As for the OP - Breck and Key don't have super sick terrian on an everyday basis. The parks are where its at. If you want big mountain skiing you can get a taste of it at the basin and bowl skiing at Vail... or the easiest solution to get a big mountain day = go to Utah, not summit. I stay at Copper to avoid lift lines and the trees are sick. This post made me giggle.
