Breck tips/advice?

[soposkier]

Just got back from doing one day each at Breck, Vail and A-Basin. Skied mostly on Peak 10, the 6 Chair and T Bar at Breck. Stuff under the E Chair looked like it would be awesome, but needed some more snow (as of last Friday). Definitely took some shots to my bases on the 6 chair stuff though, but well worth it. The middle of Peak 8 has some nice stuff for when you need to get back down to the base. I hit it on a Friday so crowds weren't terrible, but Id imagine on Weekends the central areas of the resort are a mob scene.

At Vail spent the whole day in the Back Bowls and Blue Sky. Some real nice steep glades/chute type trails on Blue Sky.

They opened it around midday when I was there and was able hit it before it was skied off at all. One of the best runs of my life. Id say the name is quite appropriate.

Nice! I would love to hit untracked! Eeverytime I have skied it there was not fresh snow, but realy nice soft moguls. Lots of cool lines in and aroud that area.

This joint used to be pretty good. Big drinks as well.

Take some pics too! have fun, they are getting snow now. I hope you get a clear day to stand a top the 10-mile range. It's cool to stand at the top of the whales tale (in between Peak 8 & 7 and look down to breck to the right and over to Copper and I-70 to the left.
