The wife and I have a trip planned to Breck and Copper at the end of Feb. We haven't been to Breck in many years and haven't been to Copper. We are both advanced skiers.
I was hoping I could get some tips/tricks about both that you can't get from just looking at a trail map. Ya know, the things...

Per the Vanat report linked below, the busiest ski areas (in terms of skier-days per year) are:
WB (2.2 million skier-days)
Breck (1.8)
Vail (1.7)
PC (1.3)
Mammoth (1.2)
Keystone (1.2)
Copper (1.1)
It's often hard to come by accurate numbers for skier-days since ski areas treat these as trade...
Over the last couple of weeks, we have seen the world take numerous measures in an effort to contain the spread of COVID-19. For Vail Resorts, that has meant closing all 34 of our North American resorts. That difficult decision was necessary in order to prioritize the health and wellbeing of our...

I just got my SKI magazine in the mail yesterday where they rank the overall Top 30 resorts in the West and Top 20 in the East, with some random subcategory rankings sprinkled in for good measure. As always, there are some head-scratchers.
Overall Top 10 in West:
1) Aspen/Snowmass
2) Sun...
The 2018-2019 season was a whirlwind -- dare we say “Epic” -- tour for Team Pugski. Tricia and I were all over the western United States at almost 25 resorts, including more than a half-dozen Epic resorts. Even though these areas are under the Vail umbrella in one way or another, each has its...

Headed to Breck on Friday & already called several shops looking to demo either of these brands....to no avail.
Anyone know of a Stockli shop in the area? Or Kastle?
Would love to demo AX and SR88.
Thanks for the help?

I'm a new skier. I have been to Heavenly, Squaw, Sierra at Tahoe, Park City, Beaver Creek and Northstar. As such, I don't have a lot of first hand observations on what makes a ski area better than other.
I'm curious why there is a lot of anti Vail sentiment on this forum. I think their pass...

The lack of oxygen at 10,000 feet is killing me—literally. My body is reacting to the oxygen situation by creating excess red blood cells, making my blood so thick the heart is stressed from pumping it around.
My cardiologist said bloodletting is not the answer: I must address the oxygen...

Hi all
@amlemus is looking for instruction in Colorado:
I moved this discussion to its own thread so it can gain some traction. Any recommendations for good private instructors in one of those areas? Thanks!

Here's a generic resort suggestion thread that may be more of a fun mental exercise than anything. Me and a buddy are throwing around the idea of a late February to March ski trip. The big catch? It's a couples ski trip.

Hi!
Headed to Breckenridge tomorrow and would love to get some recommendations for fun spots on the mountain (any ability level) and good après/dinner spots! Also all ears for a good demo shop!
I’ve had the opportunity to visit a bunch of Vail Resorts in North America over the last four years and explore the full gamut of great experiences they offer. However, I’m going to set the tone of this discussion by using the words "Vail" and "frugal" in the same sentence. The Vail galaxy of...
After seeing a story in Reno about a bar that was forced to put up "No Dogs Allowed" signs on its outdoor patio, its refreshing to see an article in Summit Daily about Dog-friendly breweries in Breckenridge, Frisco and throughout Colorado
