I am going on vacation to steamboat last week of March and would like to hit another resort while I am out there. I know there is Vail, beaver creek, and copper. Is there a better one and/or which one of these resorts is best. Thanks

I'm just gonna tell you right now that Beaver Creek is not worth the ridiculous amount of money you'll pay to ski there. Unless you can afford to drop a shitload of money on some nice piste skiing, would suggest Vail or Copper. But don't go to Vail on a weekend, you can see the lift lines from fucking space.

I would have to say Copper. they have woodward and if you are not going to be doing park then they also have some great runs. I would recommend Spaulding or Copper Bowl. Im not sure if Tucker Mt. will be open that late though

Winter Park is a pretty easy day trip from the Boat. About 1hr 45, Beaver Creek and Vail are about the same distance. Abasin is a good mountain to check out as well. All of Summit County places are 100ish miles.

This is spot on. Literally beaver creek is for stellar runs and nothing else. Vail is always fucked with people. Id say go check out Copper or Abay?

If you want to ski any park whatsoever, Keystone is where you want to be. Their park is by far one of the best in Summit County. Keystone also rips fun groomers and on occasion you can find some pow hidden in the bowls.

Hit me up when you're in the boat if you're looking for someone to shred with. Winter park is a great mountain, and the drive is super easy from Steamboat

Just spend the extra money that you would go to copper/vail/BC. The boat is one of the best resorts you can ski, there's a reason they trademarked champagne powder.
