As the Powderchaser my suggestion is to settle in

As the Powderchaser my suggestion is to settle in near where the forecast is calling for the most powder. You could check out www.powderchasers.com If POW is not in the forecast every resort has it's own advantages. Vail has great back bowls but Aspen Highlands has the steeps. Steamboat has the trees. Pick your passion and stick with it. I would wait on booking lodging until you arrive and can see the POW forecast or simply book in Frisco and from there you can get to most places early within a short drive.
