So over my spring break, im going out west to oregon and colorado. Im definately hitting up hood, but what resort should I go to in colorado? Also I can spend 2 days at either mtn, either 2 days in hood, or 2 in colorado, Opinions NS?
 
CO for spring break, OR for summer

if you can't do that, then i'd recommend CO. Breck is super fun, and i've only heard great things about Keystone and all of the surrounding resorts.

if you're into park and only have 2 ski days, don't fuck around with vail or beaver creek or any of those resorts, go either breck or keystone.
 
this, unless there is pow, then Vail or Breckif it looks like there is going to be lots of snow don't go to summit county, go to southern co, like teluride wolf creek or silverton
 
Vail or Beaver Creek if there's pow (if you're in the more northern part of CO)Silverton or Wolf Creek (if you're in the south)
Key/Breck for park, obviously.
 
matty how can you hate on hood... jk man.

but yeah.. nothing like colorado. much more snow(not this year) and better vibes and much much cheaper.. unless you go to bach. id say skibowl has fun terran but el nino has been a bitch this year.. spring time in oregon is great summer is a fuckin shitfest. sorry i have been hood;n it up and summer turns into a sewer. if you do decede to come to hood. you would probably be happy with medows. timby is flat but has fun parks from time to time. good beer every where though

summit ski area now thats like the silverton of hood

and i have skied colorado for while now as well. lived there for a year and go at least once a year
 
you know i'd rather be in Oregon any day, but for a kid from the East who is taking a trip out West I think Colorado is better
 
I don't know why so many people recommend Keystone. Its super crowded and if you're not in the park it has absolutely nothing to offer. If you want a good mix of everything go to Breck. Vail also has good park this year and alot of back bowls if you like that.

For big mountain, Crested Butte, Aspen Highlands, or Telluride. I've heard good things about Winter Park but never been there.

For a small resort with probably the steepest terrain in CO (not really saying much) got to A-Basin. But they haven't had much snow...

Silverton if you want as close to a backcountry experience as possible.
