Keystone or A-Basin for early season skiing?

[Jeffmnicholas]

In november im going on a college visit to UC Boulder and im hopefully going to be able to ski 1 or 2 days. Which mountain would be better to go to the second week of november?

 

[Baskilla]

Keystone... and it CU Boulder not UC

 

[skiingpimp]

we have a winner and on both comments

 

[HeathR]

it depends when in november. Keystone might not be open yet. If it is its a better choice.

 

[ookiedookie]

It can be said either way

 

[RIP_leos_shack]

Yeah Abay can be quite a shit show early season, Keystone has longer runs open and more of a park. Copper is generally good for early season too so you might want to consider going there, but Breck is iffy. Sometimes it's good and sometimes it sucks.

 

[Jeffmnicholas]

how far of a drive would copper be from boulder?

 

[jblaski]

About the same as it would be to Keystone, maybe a bit shorter than it would be to Breck.

 

[Jeffmnicholas]

so about 2 hours?

 

[jblaski]

1.5-2 hours sounds about right. Depends on weather and traffic.

when has breck sucked? they've had jumps early season 4 out of 5 years that i have lived here

says who?

 

[ookiedookie]

Does it matter?

 

[skodeo7]

Keystone for park. A Bay for anything else.

 

[Static]

well maybe if the dean said it you would have a little validity, otherwise no one with half a clue would say UC

 

[NWPA]

Copper will not be that good early in novemvber. But its about 2 hours

 

[ookiedookie]

UC Boulder=University of Colorado Boulder, although also commonly referred to as CU-Boulder, CU, or Colorado.

 

[Static]

yea dude, walk around campus, nay, the entire state saying UC and everyone will think you're an idiot

 

[ookiedookie]

Of coarse CU is the more popular reference, I never said it was only referred to as UC and that CU wasn't correct. I just wanted to point out that it could be used ambiguously. Now back to the thread topic.

 

[Ryanvdonk]

the only school in the colorado system referred to as UC is Colorado Springs, or UCCS. CU Denver and CU Boulder are not due to UC generally being used when referring to the california school system.

keystone is going to open for memorial weekend with a special park!!!!

and Abay announced they will be open through july 4

 

[NWPA]

i think what you mean is UCD

 

[Static]

They really can't, like I said try to use it and you will be corrected or silently laughed at.

 

[mackinnon]

hahaha THIS. i'd advise saying UC only if you want to embarrass yourself. noob.
