Skiing Dec. 18-23...HELP!?

maverick14606 · 01-11-10, 08:35 PM

Hey there guys,

I'm planning a trip to Colorado for December 18-23. I have a few questions that I hope someone can help me with, PLEASE. I am an intermediate skier (been 3 trips), and I am taking 2 beginners. Right now, we are leaning toward Breckenridge, but are also open to Copper Mountain or Keystone.

1. What will be the best place for this time of the year?
2. Will these resorts be super-crowded the week before Christmas?

Thank you SO much

If you're bringing beginners, go to copper.....lots of better beginner trails for the less experienced

My family took a similar trip three years ago to Breck and it was great. The mountain is so big it could handle the crowd almost better than the town. At night they town became a parking lot and you had better have made dinner reservations the day or two before or you were going to eat at 10 pm. Grocery store was a zoo as well. But the skiing was glorious!

Hope you have a great trip.
