Yesterday I've bought my flight tkts to Denver,Co. My trip is just for January 07 but I need to decide where should I stay and start looking for a lift+lodge deal.

The past 04 years I've stayed in Keystone, and Vail.

May be is time for a change so could I get some advise..??

I'm looking somewhere more powder and less crowded. heheh

TIA!!!!!!!!!

Wolf Creek.

Stay in Pagosa Springs somewhere and be sure to hit up the hot springs resort after a good day of thrashing the untouched snow on every run. Head up to the Upper Lode snowmobile area after a dump and build the biggest kicker you can imagine, such a sweet area. At Wolf Creek, Knife Ridge is a must. Step Bowl, Exhibition Ridge, Montezuma Bowl, and Horseshoe Bowl are always good. After tearing up Step Bowl, head into the trees and don't stop 'til the lift. Exhibition Ridge has some good, steep narrow chutes (albeit short). No Name Trees is a good consistant pitch.

Just make sure, after a hard day of riding...either go to the hot springs and go searching for urban opprotunities in Pagosa.

Where is the upper load snowmobile area at Wolf Creek? Is that one on the right like a mile west of the resort?

yes, yes it is....park in the parking lot, cross the highway, hike across the snowfield to the first hill on the right. Build a kicker by the tiny patch of trees.

If you can pull it off, the best trip would be like Crested Butte->Copper->Winter Park... my opinion anyway...
