Ski Trip

[ragincajun]

I've been to Breckenridge 4 times and Park City once. We go as a huge group every couple of years. Going back to Park City the week of Mardi Gras. We have looked into tons of places over the years and personally I think Breckenridge is the best by far.

Both of these are pretty easy to get to. Fly to Denver and then drive 2 hours, mostly on the interstate to get to Breckenridge. Park City you fly into Salt Lake City and drive 40 minutes to get to Park City. For beginers Breckenridge is definetly the way to go. There are plenty of easy slopes for the newbies. They also have a ton of intermediate runs and are opening a new mountain this year. Breckenridge also has more shopping and restaurants than most ski resorts towns.

I don't know if your dates are definetly set or not yet. Whatever you do don't go the week of Presidents Day. Most people from Louisiana are off Mardi Gras week so alot of them go skiing. The other 49 states are off Presidents Day week so it gets waaayyy too packed that week.

If you have any questions on these two places feel free to PM me.
