which one would you say is the best over all for steeps and trees and which is the best for a not so good park skier (me). i have the five mountain pass but i gotta figure out where the best place to start is.
 
i dont live in co but, i got to ski breck one day and i felt it was a great all mountain but i hear a-basin is good for pow.
 
breck is the best all around mt of those 3, and is tied with keystone for park.

keystone is just a bunch of flat runs, and a really nice park.

aBay is best for pow and is the steepest
 
keystone has a bunch of different level parks side by side... lots of "medium" level rails too.. the main jump line is fun, might take a lil to work up the balls to hit it, but its really not bad...
 
^YES, Breck's medium park, also known as "ParkLane" was so dope this past season. You can hit some jumps and then a nice flowy rail line and then another set of jumps and some more rails all in one run, it was sick!!!!
 
breck, park lane hands down. breck owns at park fo sho. unless u wanna make power laps go to key. but if you got a 5 mt. pass the best all around is by far beaver creek. best tree skiing, lots of steaps, well maintained. id go there.
 
i had the five mtn pass last winter and i love park. but coming from ohio, i was trying to spend as much time as possible in the back country. that being said, abasin has some excellent access to some side country via the palli lift as well as some sick stuff down past montezuma. it's a relatively easy hitchhike back to the lift as well. i definitely spent most of my days riding abasin and it's surrounding bc. when it was sunny and warm though, keystone was definitely my favorite for park and general resort shredding. sure it's relatively flat, but i had a ton of fun ripping around that place last winter. i really liked their park compared to breck. the feel was considerably better because of the park lift. you got stoked the whole time you were there skiing the park and then watching other people shred the whole way back up.
 
park lane blows, i really dont like those jumps, keystone's medium line is far better, freeway is the shit though.
 
freeway? i'd say that i'm going to wait to see you hit that jump line, but now that they're making it smaller this year i'll hold off on that
 
ive skied keystone at night once so i dont know what parks were open or what but the only jumps i saw there were rather large for my taste (mangina issues) but the rails were real nice.
 
the night park last season consisted of the medium jump line and a bunch of rails. it was really fun. if you're trying to get the most bang for your buck, it's an awesome place to spend an evening. ride abay and loveland pass all day, then stop at keystone for some nighttime park riding before you go home and collapse from exhaustion.
