Colorado 2005

A snowboarding trip in Colorado, 10 nights spent at the lovely Four Peaks Inn in Breckenridge staying in the Gold Nugget room. Breckenridge was a great place to base ourselves, with loads of bars and restaurants to chose from. I'd return to Colorado, and to Breckenridge and would definitely spent time on Breckenridge mountain, at A-basin and at Keystone.

Resort review

Breckenridge Ride time: 4 days Favourite run: Crystal or Centennial on Peak 10 Ranked: 2 - lots of different terrain to chose from

A-Basin Ride time: 1 day Favourite run: Humbug, Falcon and Cabin Glades Ranked: 1 - our favourite resort because it was challenging, quiet and fun

Vail Ride time: 1 day Favourite run: Expresso and Cappucino Ranked: 4 - a busy resort, with quite a few flat traverses which make it hard work for snowboarders

Keystone Ride time: 1 afternoon/evening Favourite run: Spring Dipper Ranked: 3 - excellent night riding, lots of runs on offer, nice resort

Copper Mountain Ride time: 1 day Favourite run: Union Park (primarily because it had trees and was quiet) Ranked: 5 - too busy by far, most of the runs return you to the bottom of the mountain and there were huge lift queues. Offers the slopetracker service though which is an interesting and fun service.
