How do keystone's rails compare to breck's this year? I was at breck on friday, and I can go to either place on presidents day. Also which will be less crowded?

I haven't been this year but keep in mind that keystone has a lift just for the park so that helps for the lift lines.

keystone has a way better rail set up than breck. the lift goes pretty quick and doesnt have a huge line like breck does.

Keystone always has better jibs in my opinion. But breck has better jumps. They're both really prime though so it being presidents day weekend wherever you go is going to be more crowded than usual.

Breck usually has a wider variety of rails. Keystone's are generally variations of down rails, as mentioned above, with a few random others thrown in. That said, I like Keystone much more because of the park lift. You can watch other people hit the big features the whole time and get pumped while you're riding up the lift. Also, it allows for extremely fast laps. Both will be crowded on President's day. I think you'll have more fun at Key.

I'm leaning towards key, to throw some variety into the trip. Thanks for all the help everyone.

i agree i hate breck also, unless its mid week on a non holiday week.


but keystone does have a lot of down rails right now but there is some good variations.



and if you have balls lower main street is super fun.

I like Keystone a lot more, its more spread out where everyone bunches up at breck. Also usually quicker laps

Breck park lane flow makes their rails feel so right on though. Keystone has kind of random criscross madness

This. A full non-stop lap at Breck is so fun right now. The same goes for key, but it doesn't flow as well as Park Lane at Breck, at least in my opinion. You can't really go wrong with either, but being president's day I would avoid Breck at all costs. Key will still be busy, but not like Breck...

Keystone for sure, I think there park is better in general, plus you can ski rails until 8 there.
