^ there you go.



Yeah, there is a little more to A-Basin... the Beach. Spring skiing at AB is amazing. Also, there are actually a few nice little cliff sections just below the East Wall that are usually open early in the season.



Jeffryc, I agree- Breck basically sucks. I go there when I want to cruise around when its nice out.

All this talk has me dreaming of job in Denver with a Colorado Pass for $299.

299! that's insane.

The CO Pass with the Vail and BC days (10 of them) is actually $349 this year, $329 last year. I think the $299 is for Keystone/Breck/A-Basin only. Yeah, its a sh*tty deal, huh?

definitely so and for many reasons, most of which can't be mentioned in a family-friendly environment such as this. try it; you'll like it.
