Dont know shit about CO but thinking about moving there this winter and having a hard time picking a mountain to work at.
Powder days
Good Park (emphasis on this)
Not super long lines (is it possible?)
Varied terrain

i really really like beaver creek..

park is really fun not that many features but they are all really well shaped, also its almost always empty. the pipe is small though

NO LIFT LINES EVER !

on a powder day u can ski untracked pow all day if you know where to go, also how its full of turist that dont know how to ski they dont go out on pow days

great glade skiing and there are a few short hikes where u can ski pow day after a storm :)

also if u get kinda sick of the park u can head to Vails park but they have to many people there and lift lines can get long.

telluride by far. way less crowded than anything in central colordao. extremely varied terrain (actually has steeps unlike vail.)  id say their park is just as good as anything outside of keystone and breck. great sidecountry and backcountry access

Just move to Summit. You have everything you need right there. Between Keystone, Breck, Copper, and Vail, all within a 45 minute radius, you should be able to ride everything you want.

Yup Vail is the best, the back bowls are $$$$$ on a pow day and  the easy hiking to out of bounds. It is so big it spread people out so there could be a ton of people there and you wouldnt really know it.

for sure. i preferred beaver creek to vail, but they are so close you can ski both wherever you are. I lived in Avon which was decently cheap but it was a few years back and there is a new lift which may have upped the prices!
