We went to Breckenridge last year and I ended up skiing Horseshoe
Bowl. It was my first bowl attempt as in Kentucky 12000 foot mountains
are hard to come by and Colorado was a special treat for us ( oh yes
we will go back). I was wondering which bowl is harder. Imperial or
Horseshoe. Imperial looked like it had a lot more people on it and I
often assume that means easier.

Thanks,

Horseshoe Bowl actually varies quite a bit. The easiest part down the
center is pretty similar to Imperial IMHO. But once that easy part
gets bumped up, then it's a bit harder. The steeper parts of
Horseshoe on the north side (Lulu) are much steeper and it usually has
a nice rock about half way down until it gets covered sometime in
March.

However, if you want the steeps, just hike to the top of Peak 8 from
the Imperial lift and head over to the Lake Chutes.
