Imperial Vs. Horseshoe
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, Rogue |

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. snoig |

Sure looks different in the summer than when covered with snow. Oh well, only 4 more months. H. R.(Bob) Hofmann |
