Great Snowboarding Destinations in Colorado

Great Snowboarding Destinations in Colorado

The life of a snowboarder can be hard. While boarding is becoming much more popular in the US, boarders still don't get a lot of love from skiers. That's why it's important to be aware of the best places to snowboard. If you know the best places, you'll not only be able to find the best slopes and terrain parks for boarding, you'll also be able to find a place great atmosphere where you're not the only one who enjoys snowboarding. There are many places where you can have a great time boarding, but two of the best are in Colorado. They boast not only great runs, but great atmosphere as well.

If you're looking for a great place to snowboard, the first place you want to check out is Breckenridge. They've got 146 runs with a good mix of beginner, intermediate, advanced, and expert levels. If you're less about going down the mountain and more about doing tricks, they also have three terrain parks. One of the terrain parks, Freeway Superpark, hosts several competitions every year and is widely considered the best terrain park in Colorado and even North America. If you're not quite ready for that kind of park yet, they also have a terrain park built specifically for beginners to learn their moves. And if you get bored of the mountains at Breckenridge, you can catch a free shuttle over to neighboring Keystone for some night skiing and snowboarding (and the tickets are interchangeable). If this isn't enough for you, the town has a great atmosphere as well. The resort area is the largest historic district in the state of Colorado. It boasts tons of shops, a variety of great restaurants, oxygen bars, and you can take free shuttles from town to each peak. If you're into the night-life, Breckenridge has several clubs and bars to suit all the late-night partiers. If you're with people who are into something besides going down the mountain, there is also snowmobiling, ice skating, dog sled tours, hiking trails, and a whole lot more. If you're looking for a great all-around resort, Breckenridge is the place to go.

If you're just learning to snowboard, Vail is a great resort to check out. Besides the fact that Vail is widely considered to be the best ski resort in the US (and the biggest), it's also got great accommodations for those who are just starting out; including a school with over 800 instructors (including those fluent in different languages) and tons of beginner runs. This way you won't get by doing the same thing over and over while you're learning. They also boast one of the largest terrain parks for those looking to work on their tricks. Vail is also not a bad place to go for those of you who are a little more experienced on the slopes. They have so many different runs of all levels; snowboards of all levels of experience are bound to keep busy the whole time they're there. And when you're taking a break from boarding, you can take one of the free shuttles into town where you can fine over 250 shops and 100 restaurants and bars. In a resort like Vail, you're sure to never get bored.

So, what are you waiting for? Grab your board and head off to one of these great resorts!
