I've never skiid PC, but Breck is sick. Sick park, when it snows it's sick. The only thing is that during peak season it can get damn busy.

PC will have better powder and you can ski deer valley and canyons. Breck has a better park both the big one and park lane. Also if you go to breck you can ski keystone as well. Both are sick. And to hate you don't like powder probably because you haven't seen sick powder and have been skiing the ice coast or west coast cement.

OMGZ. So right. All the snow in the far West is utter shit. Fuck Mammoth, Baker, and Squaw. Such shit, not like anyone actually lived there to ski or went and filmed pow segments.

At the canyons there are so many sick runs that never even get touched and are covered in powder every day.

Do PC because the Canyons is close and it is a good park with great pow.

breck is really underrated for the snow it gets. there was only two weekends this year where it was slushy and the snow is actually really good on powder days

Breck (and Keystone down the road) = best park in the country/world. PC is pretty awesome and really, their park is effectively just as good. Once parks get to a certain level, it really doesn't matter for the average rider what the differences are. That being said, both the terrain and the snow of the SLC resorts are head and shoulders above those of the Summit County resorts. Park City isn't the best, but the Canyons is pretty hard to beat if you're trying to get the best of everything. Sure, Colorado gets good snow, but as far as consistently getting lots of snow, Utah gets nearly twice as much as Summit County. And as we all know, if there's good snow, who cares if you have the best park?

PC. You got the canyons right down the road, which has any type of terrain you could want, there is always pow to be found on ninety-nine-ninety, and their park is very creative and fun, although not as big or as good as PCs. PCs parks are huge, and have a lot of fun features. Plus, if it dumps when your in Utah, you can drive over to Snowbird or Alta where the terrain is gnarlier then anything at keystone or breck, and where the snow falls twice as much. Utah has the best pow or park, just depending on which resort you go to.

PC all the way. Ive been to both multiple times and the deciding factor for me is the vibes at PC. It's like all the freeskiers are family out there. Breck everyone seems really serious to me haha. Id say go PC

no youre retarded, breck is much better than PC seeing as park lane and freeway are right next to eachother, and at PC you have to mob all the way across the mountain to get to kings, and you have to hit payday if you want a bunch of dope rails in a row whereas in breck you can hit a ton of rails and hit the jumps at the same time.

If you want pow and are going to Utah, then go to either big (brighton, solitude) or little cottenwood canyons (snowbird and alta). Its on the other side of the canyon with the canyons and PC, i would go to PC or the Canyons for a day or too to ski some park, then switch to snowbird or alta for the rest of your trip to ski some pow. If you have a car it shouldn't be a problem. cottonwood canyons seem to get considerably more snow and drier pow than PC and the canyons, also they're a lot steeper mountains. I've also been told that no one skis solitude so you can get first tracks for an entire day. This is all based on what my dad and one of his friends told me, they each went to snowbird/alta/solitude this year and both of them got insane amounts of super dry pow. They also said that all the locals said "don't bother going to PC if your looking for steep pow turns, and instead go to alta/snowbird".

hope all this helps

Actually this year the snow wasn't as heavy. Last year it was really heavy and was difficult to ski (with park skis). There was, on the weekend, only a couple days that you could call powder days. If I wanted to ski powder i would go ski Monarch Mountain, it has some of the best snow, similar to Wolf Creek.

never been to PC, but I can tell you that breck's park is everything people here make it out to be and more! park lane is always legit and so is freeway if you want something a little bigger. A basin and keystone are right near by if you want some change or want to ski till early june (most passes go to all 3 areas)
