I live in mn and ma dad is from spain. He is visiting. We decided to get out of the shithole that is minnesota right now and road trip out to colorado. We're super tight budget wise. What are the cheapest ski areas in colorado that have good parks

Nowhere cheap with a good park...Loveland or Abasin are probably gonna be your best bet for cheaper.

Do loveland and a basin have parks at all? Also I've heard that eldora is pretty cheap and that their parks are decent, is that true?

Can't speak for Eldora, but I wouldn't imagine it would be much better than a decent park in the midwest and there isn't really any good skiing at Eldora. Abasin and Loveland have some decent rails (I think, I don't do rails) but no jumps. But if you go to A Basin or Loveland you'll definitely get some good skiing in.

Check out Craigslist for Winter Park tickets - you should be able to find some 2 for 1 deals that would get ticket price down to $45-50....maybe cheaper.

They have a decent park...and its a great mountain to visit.

dont go to abasin for park. they have a small rail park, that you have to take a long lift to get too and ski most of a long groomer run (no park hot laps) and there are 2 different rail lines with at most 4 hits in each
