If you're taking a family. Keystone/Breck/ or Winter Park in Colorado are good. If you're more experienced at skiing I would strongly suggest A-Basin in Colorado. I think there is actually a pkg where you can go to all 3, A-Basin/Keystone/Breckenridge

Yeah, we are looking at keystone right now. Lift tickets are ridiculous heh.
I would like to do Loveland but can't find any nearby condos at all. They all seem to be 30+ miles away.

Particularly, if you have family. You not only have Keystone and Breck, but also Copper Mountain close by, and Vail is just a short drive away as well. As a kid living in KC, we used to stay in the Summit area so we could enjoy all of the above.

I had the Keystone/A-basin/Breck 2 day pass last season... I didn't manage to make it to Breck - but the other two were great. I'd like to go again this season now that my ankle has been repaired.
I'm planning on going to Big Sky (Montana) the 13th -14th of December. The snow can be hit or miss but the lift tix are free and the entire weekend usually costs me less than $150 (including lodging, food, booze, and my share of gas cost). |

Though I love and learned at Beaver Creek back in '82 (is Beaver Liquors still there?) WinterPark has been a stop for us at Easter time the last couple years. We stayed on site at the Zephyr Mountain Lodge. All the Colorado resorts I think would be fine, just be sure the mountain terrain matches the family skills.

I prefer Keystone / Vale / Copper / A-Basin
Breckenridge/ Winter Park are always crowded with the noob school/church groups. |

Front seat of a truck. At least that's what I told the girls in high school.

Apparently the ski slopes are really steep, but if you want a nice place to go, go to Telluride. I was there on business a few weeks ago, and it has to be one of the most gorgeous places on the planet. Don't question it; just go.
On a similar note, flying into the Telluride airport during a heavy rainstorm is not a lot of fun. Small plane, high winds, and flying below the level of the mountains to an airport on a cliff is not a good combination.

so that's the kind of research you guys do. ![]() As for the OP - I'll echo what was said regarding A-Basin / Winter Park. I don't care for Breck much as the two mountains tend to funnel everyone together. If you've got the bling you should just stay in Aspen and have a helicopter just drop you on different summits to ski down. LJ would.
