Without question W.P. offers a great variety for the dollar. The timberline lift down through Mary Jane is as solid as it gets! Although the bumps on Mary Jane are similar, in my opinion, to most Colorado bump layouts, it's the atmosphere and environment that will have me returning. A buddy and me were there a year ago for a week and W.P. fits in unassumingly with everything in Summit County! Skiing above the timberline at W.P. is an adventure that just about everyone can experience, including some tree chutes on the way down. No Pain - No Jane
Pros: cheap motels, big vertical, good cruisers
Cons: air fare/SUV $$$ , travel time, interstate traffic

i've been skiing for well over 10 years, and i've tried out lots of resorts with my family. we chose winter park beause it is the best value around for some awesome skiing. winter park mountain is awesome for all around skiing and the bowl is great for more advanced skiers. mary jane provides bumps that will knock you off your feet!! vazquez is decent, but has a long flat bottom and can be difficult to get back to winter park. tickets are relatively cheap and i think it's one of the best kept secrets in colorado!!
Pros: short lines, cheap tickets, lots of mountain
Cons: smaller town
