So I am spending Thanksgiving in Colorado (Denver) area. I am staying until Sunday. I would like to ski at least 2 days while I am here. What mountain(s) are skiing the best right now?
I would go back to Wolf Creek in a heartbeat, but not if there is no powder, which looks to be the case for the next 7-10 days. So since skiing pow is out, where should I go? I assume there will be epic lift lines where ever I go, but whatever at least I am out on the snow.

I have not been to Breck yet so I cannot speak for all the mountains; however, Copper has been absolutely incredible. They have quite a few lifts open right now operating on mostly blues and greens and the snow quality is pretty on point. If you are looking for some park they also have a fun little setup right now (not close to Keystone's though).

If you are just looking for runs (no park) I would avoid Keystone.. their early season is never really impressive.

Steamboat will have most of their upper mountain going, but most likely minimal to no park features
