    Resort Opinions

    Hey. i know i havent been on here for a long time and havent posted anything but i have a question for the people.  Some friends and i are planning a trip to colorado in march when most schools are on spring break.  we live in omaha, nebraska and there is not much of anything for boarding options and we are planning on hitting up a ski resort in colorado where the spring breakers will be and a good resort to just party and have some fun while we're out there and snowboard for about a week. I have never been anywhere out there other than keystone, which we are not planning on going to. Right now we're thinking between steamboat springs and crested butte. i just wanted peoples opinions on which one of these might be better for spring break/breakers and the partying atmosphere involved with spring break and if there are any other options for better colorado resorts. we don't want to go to vail or aspen or places like that because they are too expensive and probably not what we are going for. What are your guys' opinions on where to go?
    thanks

    either of those would be great, but what do you like to ride? steeps, trees, park, groomers? also crested butte is a couple hours longer of a drive than the boat. and may have less "spring breakers" but more texans.

    Speaking from experience - I live in Crested Butte - you can get great group rates, enjoy some really fun bars and night life, ski the best steeps in Colorado, enjoy a terrain park, and have the mountain to yourselves (i.e. NO lift lines, even at spring break) but still meet a ton of fun people. I think you can call 888-954-6487 to get group discounts and learn more about the town. Check out www.skicb.com too. I'd stay at the Grand Lodge or the Plaza or some affordable place like that. Good luck and enjoy the Butte!
