Hi, Jeff & all,

As you'll see from the thread below, we've just come back from Breckenridge
(CO), and it was excellent. Easy lodging in town centre right near the Peak
9 lift, and loads of eateries (or go for self-cater like we did). Even has
a brewery in the town.

Loads of easy / intermediate runs, and all very well-groomed, harder stuff
too, if, like us, you graduate to it after a couple of lessons.

HTH, have a good one,

Steve, Cheshire, England

Hi Everyone,

I know this is a bit of a daft question (cos its down to personal taste!)
but, here goes anyway. My girlfriend and I have the chance to go for a
holiday in North America, originally I was looking at Whistler or Banff,
but
since the pound is so strong against the US Dollar it would be silly to
rule
out the US resorts.

My question is which resorts would be suitable for an
beginner/intermediate
skier and an intermediate snowboarder for a 11 day break around mid
march?.

We don't particularly want to hire a car and spend eons driving between
resorts, so somewhere with a fair selection of shops, eateries and a bit
of
nightlife would be a bonus, almost forgot! and good ski / board
instruction
school.

If anyone can give any clues it would much appreciated. (might be quicker
to
list resorts not to go to)

Thanks

Jeff
