I'm going to Summit County Co. in Feb. The last time we skied Breck, Cooper, A-Basin, Keystone, and Vail. This time I want to mix in some different Mts. Anyone have any advise. Thanks.

BTW - Whiteface was really good this past weekend. They got about 6" on Sat. and they have made alot of snow.

Loveland is about it in that area...

Beaver Creek and Loveland are the closest in that area. WP/MJ is a bit of a drive about an hour, but a great place for sure. Not sure if you meant Cooper or Copper. If you vistited Cooper, then Copper is worth a visit. Cooper really isn't....

Thanks to all. I meant Copper. I've heard good things about Mary Jane at Winter Park. Myself and some of the guys who are going like to ski bumps and I've heard MJ is the best for that.

"Drunken Frenchman" and "Outhouse" are two classic bump trails at MaryJane..

Yeah, if you want bumps MJ is hard to beat. Check out runs off of railbender. Short haul, long haul, boilermaker, Trestle, cannonball are some of my favorites. The drunk and outhouse are the classic lines, but I think these ones are the best. If the gates are open, don't miss runaway north and south.
