Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Breckenridge vs Whistler - advice sought
 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead

Well, we've been to Whistler a few times and have looked at the possiblity of Breckenridge this year for a change. What's the verdict Puzzled
Would be going early March.
What's the accommodation, night life, bars and restaurants like?
From what we've read we're thinking of probably staying around the base of Peak 9 - any recommendations or places to avoid in terms of hotels?
Thanks in advance Little Angel

Do post here your findings as I love Whistler but always wonder if there is somewhere better. The direct flights and reasonable length transfers swing it currently.

rob and sharon, Breck is a nice town, deffo western feel to it. Think Dumb and Dumber Toofy Grin

But I think you will be disappointed with the skiing compared to Whistler, size wise its very small in comparriosn and since 2/3rds of the runs are flat it gets quite boring. Depending how long you are there you will take trips to other places covered on the lift pass - A Basin, Vail, Bever Creek and Keystone. Would also be worth picking tickets up in Frisco for Copper for a day as well.

If you were headsing to Colorado and want something to compare to Whistler I would personnally head to Aspen. Theres so much variety of skiing, along with the town.

We've done March in all three and had the best time in Aspen Smile

Agree Breck's terrain just isn't comparable to Whistler.

Try a two centre - Winter Park & Steamboat.

Breck pales in comparison to Whistler on all the above counts.

If you like the skiing at Whistler, try Aspen as suggested by others. Though I found the apres a bit quieter than Whistler. It also seemed to attracts an older crowd, at least when I was there (Jan).

Other Colorado resort worth trying are Steamboat, Telluride or Crested Butte. But the skiing are very different in each and people either love or hate each. Also March is a bit late for some of them. With Aspen, you're safer with the variety.

rob and sharon, If you only stay in the slopes.. dont put your money to go to Breckenridge,, as Bones, say, some slopes are flat,, But if you ski offpist, there is wondefull bowls, as I use to say, there is no bad skiresors, only bad skier,, a good skier can have fun everywhere,, and the quality of the snow is most of the time better in Colorado, than in Whistler,,,

I haven't been to Whistler but would add the following about Breck-
1. It has been a great snow year so far
2. Early March can be Spring Break time- this translates into more families and College age kids.
