does anyone know which of the resort mountains in Colorado have opened up lift assisted freeride/terrain parks? Anyone been to any of them? Just sold my bike in NZ, moving to colorado soon, and trying to figure out what kind of bike I should throw my money at!

cheers

Keystone, Vail, and Winter Park are the main resorts. Other resorts do lift-access riding as well but these are the most popular, and IMHO the best for DH riding. If you get a full-on DH bike, there is more than enough to keep you busy here!

Keystone is the place to go if you want it fast and technical.

Keystone has tons of DH and Freeride terrain.
Vail is a close second with steeper DH and some Freeride Terrain
Breckinridge has a SHorestyle freeride park on the 4-o'clock run... nothing on the main lift.
Silverton has some sick DH / FR terrian.... when they're open (only open for 5 days this year).
WinterPark has basic DH, nothing major and probably considered basic by difficutly
Steamboat: Sucks, but has lifts for bikes
Crested Butte: Okay for the beginner DH'r, no FR.
Telluride: ???? I haven't been there

thanks...anything built up around Snowmass or Aspen? I've read a few things indicating snowmass has built up some freeride terrain, but can't seem to get any confirmation!

I am going to be in Colorado in Sept 22-25th. Keystone will be closed at that point so trying to find some good lift biking or easy accesible shuttling since my girl will be with me. Any ideas?
