Best conditions around summit?

Ok so we finally arrived a few days late, but we are here. I had a quick question, where would I find the best conditions around summit, I am willing to go to winter park and aspen(but not further). I am not asking about terrain as I familiar with most of them, but more of the conditions. I have noticed that A-basin has not been that good this year as far as snow as well as loveland, does it mean that the conditions might not be as good. I was thinking vail and beaver look pretty good (afraid of getting sued, lol, J/K, that guy should get a life, thief). Aspen should be ok also, right?. Any advice on copper mountain and winterpark? Breck is out of the question hate the crowds and the layout there.


Thanks for the help.

The Jane and Winter Park

Hey Mike travelling has sucked the past few days huh? Winter Park and the Jane are starting to come into it. The base is building and the snow is pretty damn good. The new lift to the top of Parssens Bowl (the highest 6-pack in America) has been running fairly steady but the back-side is not open yet. The traffic has been minimal and waits in lines are the same. The bumps on the Jane side aren't VW's yet but they are growing with each storm. The tree's are still a little thin so don't dig to deep on your turns.

I don't think you'd be let down with a trip over here. Plenty of open lifts and trails.

Thanks for the advice, I will deff hit WP on at least one day.

Any advice on A-basin and Loveland? I was wondering if A-basin would be worth it considering that the slow is less than usual

Rocked the basin today. It was decent. The snow has that great chalky feeling, but she's still a bit thin all over. Been out of town until christmas, so I'm not sure what other resorts look like.
