Breckenridge or Keystone?

Breck is a bigger better mountain with better parks, more variety, steeper and more difficult terrain. It is soooooo crowded if you are skiing on the weekends. Breck is likely to be more windy than keystone on the same day.

Keystone is smaller, still has a great park that is pretty creative and conducive to progression, it is still a pretty big mountain, but doesn't have the bowls and steeps that breck has. A lot fewer crowds even on the weekends, but during peak weekends still gets quite crowded, but still better than breck. Night skiing is soo fun even after the park closes is you are a decent skier and can rip groomers and side hits.

Keystone is closer to Denver by 15-30 minutes depending on how fast you drive. The vibe at key is better than breck IMO. Breck is more appealing to skiers who like steeps and bumps or need bigger park features. Keystone is more appealing to people who are mellower, like all of the park in one place, like side hits, and big low angle bowls on powder days.

I don't ski much park so I don't have much to say about Breck's because they are kind of spread out unlike keystone's where the whole park is in one place so I like to ski park at keystone more.

Try them both and see what you like
 
Actually keystone is a little bit bigger but that's just because of how massive the cat skiing terrain is. Pretty much agree with everything here but would add that Keystone is better a few days after a pow day cus everyone knows where all the good stuff is at Breck but no one really skis the good stuff at Key so the snow stays better longer.
 
The duelling resorts...Breck is better. I have to say that...I work there. Keystone and the other underlings vie for the title. We don't care...we kick ass and you can feel the difference. Plus you're gonna want to be in breck at the end of the day anyway...fun no matter what. Fun for the whole family. Yes, you will have a family at the end of the day in Breckenridge.
 
keystone for groomers and rails, and to not be in that shitshow of a crowd that is the Breck terrain parks. and when they get up that medium size park it's good for progression on jumps because as mentioned above, not too many people so you don't feel like you absolutely HAVE to land it--more conducive to experimentation. I never really try anything new on the jumps at breck hell i'm even nervous to do shit I can stick consistently because there's a fair chance somebody is going to follow you right into the jumps it's that busy.Snow seems to be better in keystone IMO. If I'm just cruising around on groomers on my snowboard or skiing wasted, i have a better time at key
