My friend's b-day is coming up in late January and we decided on Colorado as the spot for that celebration since most of us love snowboarding.

Now...I've only been to Winter Park.

Where do u guys think we should go. We'll be there for 4-5 days and will be driving in from IL.

Prices of anything are definitely welcome as we're all on pretty tight budgets but this has to be done.
 
avoid keystone and breck if you don't want to hang out with a bunch of tourists.

I personally feel copper is the shit, and a lot of other locals I know like it too. Nobody is gonna knock a-basin, I dig winter park also, always a good choice.

imo the best value is loveland, but i dunno if it would be fun for 4-5 days, maybe 2-3 tops. But I'd get bored at any resort if I were there for 4-5 days, so make of that what you will.

it also depends alot on how good you guys are. unless you're really picky about the quality of your backbowl carving, it almost doesn't matter (that much)
 
skiing dominates in colorado. the terrain there is much more suited for it. That being said, breckenridge just got rated as having the best parks in north america. and if you smoke weed, there is a shed/shack somewhere half way down a tree trail where there is constantly 10-15 random people blazin down its pretty fuckin awesome lol. Also, the back bowls at vail are unbeatable (something like 2000+ skiable acres of wide-openness)
 
btw most people will tell you to avoid winter park because its the closest resort to denver and thats where all the locals will go on powder days, and it will be jam packed on those days.
 
Ive been to copper mtn, vail, and brekenridge (sp?). All very very good, ied have to go with Copper mtn, vail was nice but theres allways a shit load of people there.
 
Kinda hard to get to, but Steamboat is a pretty good spot.
 
I've been to veil and telluride.

Veil and telluride are both expensive but both really really great. Veil has much more skiiers than telluride, but telluride is really remote.
