What is a better mountain to go snowboarding, and also just to hang out? Breckenridge or Aspen?|128618

Also if you know of any other good ones in CO, and UT can you let me know please?

If money is not a factor, Aspen is a great choice. Aspen has great skiing options for any level. Plus, Aspen is unique compared to other ski towns in CO because it actually has a 5,000 person year round local population. Therefore it has more character than the other ski towns which are basically cheesy tourist traps. Plus, I_m in my 20s and the nightlife in Aspen is superior to other ski towns. I always have a great time when I go out there.

The skiing sucks at Breckenridge and the town is basically Disney World on ice. Only go there if you_re on a budget.

Steamboat, Telluride and Crested Butte are all quality places to ski with towns that have character. Vail and Copper have good skiing, but the towns feels artificial.

I_ve never been to Aspen but I learned to snowboard at Breckenridge. I didn_t think it was that bad and I went during the end of the season. I don_t know that Breckenridge is really that great of a place to hang out just to hang out but I_ve always regarded Aspen as being really snooty.

Aspen has four mountains to snowboard on. This will give you choices but you will not get bored if you pick one mountain and stick to it for several days. The town of Aspen is pretty big with many choices of restaurants, clubs and stores. The night life is rockin during winter or summer season.

Havent been to aspen, but Breck sucks. Too many flat spots. I ended up walking a lot. Breck is close to Denver though.

I hit Utah this winter for the first time. WAAAAY better then CO! The snow is fantastic, resorts are close to airport, snow is drier, everything is close! Hills are less crowded too. And the runs are overall more challenging.
