KNUCK IF YOU BUCK BOY

The Michael Jordan, the Babe Ruth, The Wayne Gretzky of Newschoolers.com idiots needs no introduction.... but here\\\'s one anyways. John Andrew Steward, a rich kid from Georgia, will not hesitate for a moment to tell you exactly what he\\\'s thinking (and I use that term loosely). His over 2000 posts make him one of the most prolific retards on our list, and he\\\'s become something of a legend on this website, representing the ever-growing intellectually devoid section of the membership here at NS.com. In fact, when the Golden Wheelchair award was first conceived, there was some talk of naming it after him, as a dedication. Also among his qualifications are his being named so often to Crystal-Needs-A-Park\\\'s honorary hall of fame for stupid posts, that the proprietor was forced to abandon the project: Atlantaski simply flooded it too quickly. Further, he had more entries into the original Hall of Fame for Stupid Posts than any other member of Newschoolers.com. Though he went into temporary retirement a few months ago, he has recently returned with a vengeance and, far from missing a beat, has stepped his stupidity up to new heights, recently capturing a GW award for mocking Trevor Peterson. He is fully deserving of his place near the top of this list

'a week a year' damn dude your like a regular skibum and shit

I agree with bandito, shut up, you can't know all of summit county after skiing it for one week, you can't even say you know 1 mountain very well
George Bush is an idiot

Vail's bowls are actually pretty damn good for inbounds.

^sorry, Vail is not in Summit County (very close though)

It's all good. Try as many places as you can and see what YOU like.

As far as Summit County goes, the best park is at Breck. They also have some great skiing and hikeable terrain off of the T-Bar.

Arapahoe Basin does not really have a park worth talking about, but it is one of the great 'Colorado' scenes with BBQ's, dogs running around everywhere, and great steep lines. It has a fantastic local feel.

Keystone has the largest gaper population I the county, but a nice park and some good skiing back in the outback trees.

Copper is a great all around mountain with both Parks and Bowls. They are a little less crowded than the aformentioned resorts.

Eagle County has Beaver and Vail though, and I personally think they are by far the best. You can ski at Vail for a week and explore new areas everyday. If you think the Vail bowls are weak, you have never been back there. While not overly steep, they are over 6 miles across and are very impressive always holding great snow. Beaver Creek hardly ever has lift lines.

Regardless of where you go, try to befriend a local and they will take you to the places you will want to ski, avoiding the lift lines. Everyone is pretty friendly, so don't be afraid to ask for some advice as far as where to go.

I own you

I 100% agree^. But don't discount Breck at all. It is a sick sick mountain. So much fun. It has every feature you're looking for. I go there allll the time and never get bored.
