I am gonna be going to one of these three most likley from March 12th to the 17th. What are the parks like at all of these place. They all sposidly have sick setups. Hows the backcoutry at all of these places? Any good deals that I should know about at these places?
 
my friend has been to breck and vail and he said breck is the best place cause they have a type of park for evryon like beginner medoum and expert, as fars as backcpuntry i dont know
 
Ive been to both breck and keystone and breck is the place to goto jumps, keystone is the place to go for rails. I went late in the season and only had one good powder day and it was at keystone and i had tons of fun in keystone's outback. Also, you can see one resort from the other and they have a pretty good bus system there so you could hit up both resorts and even copper if you wanted to.
 
Yeah vails not too far away too and I actually had the most fun there as far as backcountry goes. I didnt hit up the park though. And hes very right about breck having a park for everyone.
 
Winter Park has the sickest set up in the state. Every rail is so smooth, and no other mountain can compete with the replica rails (check out the park update0 the pipe is super sick right now, and the jumps rediculously smooth. The booters in dark territory have gotten bigger and i think might be pushing the 70 ft mark and ae still super sick...My advice is to hit up WP and you will never want to ski anywhee else ever again
 
I have a 5mt and the wp copper pass and If you have to come out for a week I would go to breck and keystone. WP is super sick and you can get better deals on lift tickets and housing. I really like wp park but the dt costs 20 bucks and not worth it for a weekend. Brecks pipe put winter park to shame and keystone has pretty sick rails but WP has everything in run. Freeway is cool but some of the stuff is super challenging they have a mid size park on nine which is alittle smaller than WP park. All good plus breck has better BC I think and I know people are going to freak out but after a big snow the t bar is sick as shit
 
Breck and Keystone definatily have a better park than WP. I don't like WP park at all. First off to hit anything cool you have to pay 20 dollars and go through a class. Second they don't have cool features (other than in DT). Also you have to wait in a big ass line to a long lift everytime you hit it. Breck and keystone are both fun as said before breck has better jumps and keystine has better rails (jumps are still probably better than 95% of resorts). I personally like keystone more because it has its own lift for the park and it is open until 9:00pm thurs-sun.
 
keystone definately has the best rails. im not a fan of breck or winter park much, but breck definatly has nice jumps. like it was said before, the only good thing at winter park is dark territory, and its not worth 20 bucks for just a weekend. copper and vail are the best in my opinion
 
every one is saying that breck hasd great jumps na dkey has good rails, what about BC, trees, and runs in normal.
 
What the hell are you talking about it that the dark terrority is the only good thing at WP are you kidding. There are 2 hits and some crazy rails that 99% of the kids on this site couldent hit including me. I sure everyone will say they can but a tripple kink set up urban style is an intense rail. I think WP is tons of fun there are some challenging rails and boxes in the normal park and if you want to go huge you pay 20 bucks and watch a 5min safety video at the base. Also it is far less crouded that keystone or breck.
 
Breck has good tree lines but they get skied out quick after a big snow it is pretty sick up at t bar and imperal. They have some great rails but not too many. The ones in freeway are not for beginners but peak 9 park has a few intermediate rails. The elf toe at the top of freeway is my favorite rail right now but breck does get crouded. Depends what you want. You want to be a tourist go to breck you want to ski mougals go to WP/Jane you want to hit rails go to key you want to ski BC go to Vail. Although you can do all these things at any one of the above resorts and with the snow we have been getting you should have no problem.
 
i went to vail keystone and breck two weeks ago

vail has the best back country, i didnt really like the park. they have 7 bowls and is really sweet

keystone- shit load ammount of rails and well maintained jumps, good town, there lifts are not long waits

Breck- Not too good for beginners or descent riders. the jumps are breath taking but they dont groum the park enought to have enough speed to do anything, break has an insane peak and is very tiring
 
I think keystone's park is the best out of the three. Breck's freeway park has really big jumps if thats what your looking for, but u will only get like 3 runs per hour through on a weekend cause the lift sucks. Keystone by far has the best variety, and overall quality. There jumps are sick, and their rails are the best in CO.
 
Keystone for sure. The atmosphere in their park is the best, no pressure and laid back. They have really steped up their jumps this year too. Right now they have a 30ish foot step up. And of course, their rails are the best.
 
you can lap WP's park like 40 times in a day if you want. the quad ride is 4 minutes long and the park runs the entire length of it. everything there is solid and it flows like none other. but if you want huge ass jumps and a perfect pipe go to breck.
