Best Skiing?

I've only been to Breck or 'the ridge' in CO. It was a great vacation and the conditions were perfect. Grooming of the parks and pipe were top notch and the double black runs were challenging! However, my best trip so far was to Whistler, BC...Words can't do that place justice..I had the time of my life.

Funny you should mention Whistler. That's actually on the list as well. It's really a choice between Colorado or Whistler. I just want some awesome skiing. I've been skiing since basically I could walk and I haven't skied in North America since I was a teenager, so I'm looking for a change from Switzerland.

So far, the snow hasn't been very good in Colorado. You might want to wait to see if conditions improve before deciding.

I'm telling you, if your on the fence about whistler I strongly suggest you take the plunge, you won't regret it. I was doing everything from hiking back-country glaciers and riding untouched bowls that seemed to never end, to rugged cliff and tree runs, to terrain parks with epic features. I get the hint you ski at an advanced level, you will be challenged and be given plenty of opportunities to test your skill at whistler. Not only is the resort a blast in its own, but the nightlife and ambiance of that whole area is something out of a book.

I wouldn't hesitate to go back, ever...I was there for a week and didn't come close to exploring everything it had to offer.

I live in Colorado so I have to boast about the skiing here! But, I must say, if you have a chance to go to Whistler DO IT!! AMAZING!

My faves are
Breck, Keystone and Copper!!

My vote is for Winter Park.

Best advice I can give is to come one state further West and enjoy much better snow ;-)

i've never been to Colorado. but i was able to go to Park City in Utah once. And have never really enjoyed boarding locally since.

Utah does have the "greatest snow" AND unlike Colorado, the mountains are much easier to access from the city. You can stay at the resorts and ski or you can save money and stay in Salt Lake City, rent a car and drive a measly 20-30 minutes to the ski resort. Just sayin'.

OLYMPIC WORTHY SNOW!

I'm hoping you guys can help me out with a ski question.

I'm planning a ski trip in early April and I'm looking into Colorado right now. Can anyone recommend some awesome places to ski, preferably within driving distance of Denver.

Thanks!

Hi! I just saw this. Telluride, CO, is one of the absolute best places to ski and take a vacation. I used to live there (and live by another resort now). It is never really very crowded, and depending on where you stay you don't really need a car once you are in town, the town is awesome itself. It is a little remote and farther from the rest of the state (southwest corner)-but it is absolutely stunning and the terrain is great as well (has excellent steep runs but also a good area of beginner/intermediate). Plus, they have been getting more snow than the rest of the state. Hope that helps.
