depends on what you are looking for,

i'm going to assume park, i dont think breck has changed their park since they opened, so its a three jump line with a couple of jibs.

keystone has relocated their park to its home of A51, and it looks killer, i havent had a chance to hit any of the rails but they look super fun, they have a run with a rail garden, and the medium jump line, which is 5 jumps.

and tomorrow they are opening the big jump line on main street in A51.


this being said, Keystone is where i will be skiing tomorrow due to the amount of options in their park.

I like breck better because I like their runs better. I also prefer breck's parks because everything is too big at keystone/i suck. I felt like breck was more friendly towards the noob park skiier. I hit one of the jumps in the large line at keystone... I misjudged how big it really was, barley landed that just straight airing.

Yes, I do believe Keystone is fully open as of now, but they have been doing a ton of work at Breck from what I saw today, and I have heard that the entire Park Lane may be open on Monday.

In my opinion if you want progression, then you should go to Breck. The jumps are nearly perfect in size for you to try a variety of whatever you want. Breck lacks a little bit for rails, But I still believe its worth it. If you want fluidity and a larger rail offer, you should go to Key. There jump line is a little bigger, and now a lot bigger with the larger jumps just opening, and the rails are great

as of yesterday they had almost all of the snow for the last jump line at the bottom and have a TON of snow filling up in the rest of the park. and btw, the last jump line looks as if its going to be a triple line this year instead of a double line.

but keystones big line is way sick right now. I don't like their medium line though.

Keys medium line is super poppy. I would. Choose key just for the options they have over Breck.

Keystone's park is great right now. The jumps are better than they've been in recent memory.

Welp I am doomed. Oh well, going from my home mountain with 300ft of vert to Colorado will still be fun to rip up the groomers and shred at A-51. but still no all mountain skiing :(
