i don't like beaver creek's park at all. try somewhere in the salt lake area, or crested butte. you should try to hit a few of the areas in southern colorado, that's the best skiing in the state

i would go to the Canyons in Utah they have a good park and pretty decent powder. if you want something in Colorado i would just stay in summit county because you will have 5 resorts all within 30 minuets of each other instead of just going to one place.

Honestly, I abhor Beaver Creek's park. 

I would recommend going to Vail.  Although, I know other people don't like their park, I'm a big fan of it.  Also, it has the back bowls + blue sky which are great on pow days.

great use of abhor. But I dunno, Beavers park isn't the best but its always well maintained and its not crowded.

No, their park is pretty good in terms of features, but the lift lines to lap the park are just terrible.  The Vista Bahn at Vail almost always has short/no lift lines.  That's why I prefer Vail.

Aspen/Snowmass. Ski Buttermilk for park one day (x games) and ski snowmass (just as good park as buttermilk), aspen or highlands the next (or even in the same day if you want) all on the same pass.

If you're going to go to Aspen, don't bother skiing anywhere but Snowmass.  Snowmass has it all: good park, good steeps, diversity.
