Hi guys,

We're gonna be coming in Thursday to Breckenridge(woohooo)...

And given the warm weather at Breck and the Snow conditions, we're still thinking if Breck would be a good place to Ski when compared to Copper ?

What do you guys recommend ?

& also are there any snow mobiling places that have opened there ? If so, could provide some links that i could check out ?

Thanks guys

V

I would wait until you arrive to make the decision. Unseasonable warm weather and a complete lack of snow has created some rather cruddy ski conditions. However all it takes is one blizzard, and that could be Thursday night! Cross your fingers!

There is no way any snowmobiling places could be open. Totally based on my opinion, I actually have not researched this. The aspens are budding at my office here in Frisco, and the grass is kinda green still. Maybe, MAYBE, Leadville has something, doubt it.

The conditions at Copper will be virtually the same as at Breck. They have an 18" base. There's been no new snow and there is very little terrain open at Copper.

There is a possibility of snow Thursday and Friday.

Have fun and please do a snow dance!
