US road trip, PC and Breck

So me and a mate are thinking about getting the epic pass and hitting park city then breck/keystone over 4 or 5 weeks around Xmas and the new year. However, looking around, accommodation in and around the resorts looks pricey. Is it cheaper to stay in SLC or some other bigger town/city and travel in or is there some other alternative we've just missed. Also, do you think its cheaper to use buses to get around (including going from Utah to Colorado) or buying a real cheap, used car for the time? Any advice on this or general ways to keep costs down would be awesome.

Dont know about Colorado but it is defenatly cheaper to stay in SLC than in PC. Transportation is usually alright too.

For what it would cost to register and insure the car, I would imagine it will be cheaper to utilize public transportation. I've never used it but I believe there is a cheapish hostel in the hell that is Silverthorne/Frisco/Dillon. If you're not planning this trip around school holidays you should know the snow will be better in Feb/March with considerably less people.
if you're going to hit Keystone/Breck, you owe it to yourself to ride Abasin at least one day

Amtrak goes straight through Truckee, SLC, and Kremmling. Check out their rail pass deals for international visitors, and you can sleep on the trains to save money.....way less shady than Greyhound in the US.
