i know I'm kinda off topic but does anybody know of a good website to watch new series online ?
@Holden Wilder lately I have been using FlixZone. You can find it by googling =)
@Arthur Quinton definitely, I've been using Flixzone for since april myself =)
@Arthur Quinton Thank you, signed up and it seems like a nice service :D I really appreciate it !
I'm from the UK and my wife and I have snowboarded a lot of europe and america. Breck is definitely our favourite place. The runs are perfect for us with us not being too advanced. The people in general in the usa are just fantastic too always so friendly. Weve been devastated we had to miss this year at breck because of the usa travel ban. We hope to get back asap!
I hope you can come back soon too!!
I’m okay with people sleeping on brecks terrain. Horseshoe bowl, e-chair, 6 chair some of my favorite runs in the country
That was my first bowl
Lake chutes can be epic.
Peak six is my favorite. I love the lack of people over there
Lapping 6 chair is a good one, never anyone out there
@@TheFxdstudios you must not be at breck a lot
Oh no! My guy!? That hair though!? I literally died at the end.
For someone on vacation, the transportation is awesome. We stayed on French st. We would get up, the bus came every 10 minutes (on time), 5 minutes to the gondola, go to Peak 7 or 8, ski all morning, go back to the condo for a few hours, come back and ski the afternoon.
A-Basin Review soon, doesn’t have to be next
A-Basin would win in the views and terrain for sure 😁
@@ethanadams5182 And Bloodies.
Great review Johnathan! Breck is a special place! Imperial Superchair and the 6-chair that you took Brandon and me on last season was a GAME CHANGER!!! Opened up my snowboarding world, thanks bro!
Great video for me before booking my trip to Breck! Do you know if I need to purchase lift ticket to use the beginner carpet? I have a friend would like to do the beginner carpet for day1. Thank you!
Any chance we can get a page that provides all the reviewed scores? I've watched all the videos but forgot the exact totals and like to compare. Thanks again for the time you take to make these!
Johnathon, hopefully when the borders open up you can come here to Whistler/Blackcomb and do a review. The only set back this year are the parks are closed on Whistler but the one on Blackcomb is open. With the Peak to Peak Gondola, easy to go from one mountain to the other.
First time snowboarding and going to break in 11 days! Any tips? I heard they made a new park with the half pipe and such
I really hope you'll be able to review ski resorts outside of the U.S...
I think you'll find some great ones in Europe, Japan, NZ..
I think that one of my favorites, Val Thorens in the 3 valleys in the French Alps could easily top the score of 80
Have you been to Montana? This year is a bit crappy, but there are some well talked about spots here. Also, are you only focusing on the large Resorts, or are you thinking about stopping at the smaller areas too. Snowy Range (southeast WY.), Red Lodge Mountain (Red lodge, MT), Big Sky (Big Sky, MT) Showdown (MT) Sleeping Giant (Cody, WY. Small, but growing.)
i have the Epic Local Pass and I love Breck and go there the most. i can only go to Beaver Creak and Vail a combined 10 times. i would love to explore Vail but it might take me more than 10 times to really get to know that mountain. do you have a review for Vail?
I think the bus that picks you up from the free lot takes you right up to peak 8? It did when I went there. Only like a 10 minutes bus ride.
This is my first big mountain, I loved it so much!
You should do a running top 10 list for the end of these videos to see where the resort you are reviewing lands on the list (if it does).
Headed to Breck in Feb, super stoked!! We’re staying in Dillion though, so hopefully that drive isn’t too much of a bother. Great review!
It’s not a bad drive at all. And you’re close to keystone if you decide to hit that.
Everything in Summit County is nearby. Its getting into and out of Summit County that can be a problem.
plenty of air B&B in Silverthorne, Dillon, and Frisco for those who do not want to stay in Breck but go to Breck.
though I would suggest looking into condos on peak 9 for ease of access.
Killer video buddy.
it is surprising as windy as Breck is they don't have a bubble lift.
I know you said no more Colorado for a while, but I've never seen you hit Snowmass. I Ski-bummed there in 1983-85. Went back three years ago and yes, Aspen has totally changed (and sucks now), but we didn't go to be in town - we went to ski. Stayed in Frisco and day tripped up to Snowmass. ON the way home - you hit up the Glenwood Springs Historic Hot Springs! I personally think Snowmass is an awesome place and well worth the extra travel time!
Would you go there in March or late February
Bretton Woods in New Hampshire would be a good one! Nice family mountain with the Washington Resort Hotel and some decent glade skiing!
is the pipe built yet??
We need to get you out to Washington state! Crystal Mountain is Epic and deserves a good review!
I’m a vail resorts employee in Wisconsin and planning on going there January 17th. Do you think the crowds will be rough or is Covid making it not too bad?
I think it will be less because of Covid but there is still a chance for lines
What did you do at breck
There are Airbnb’s in Silverthorne! We just got back a few days ago and that’s where we stayed on Ryan Gulch..
Top resort review show on the Tube! Can't wait for the mountains with true pucker factor
Love your reviews, I only wish you would add one more thing to it. How family-friendly, or how good of a resort it is for bringing your kids. In terms of ski school for kids or daycare for babies. It’s really hard to find reviews that include that aspect. Although a lot of parents want to bring their kids, what if the kid doesn’t like snowboarding or skiing. Is there something else they can do while the parents are snowboarding?
I chose to go with Loveland and the Powder alliance for my season pass. With all the reservation crap, epic pass (and therefore Breck and Keystone, among others) was out of the running for which resorts got my business this year....
Suggestion you should review your favorite resort from Wisconsin
Can anyone give advice on where to go? Breckenridge or Arapahoe, im going in may and im an intermediate skier that loves going in between the trees…
Review Steamboat Springs!
Review Jackson Hole
I think I would be cool if you had a crowd and lift line category for rating
I live in Bailey (off 285) and Breckinridge is by far the closest to me. However, by the time I get to the airport parking lot, wait for the shuttle and get to peak 8 I could’ve been shredding at Monarch.
R u going snowboarding on Friday
What about Whistler. Could you review that one?
Bus from airport lot drops you off at peak 7 or 8 now. Doesn't go to gondola lot first.
Great review on Break!!!
What settings do you use on your go pro?!
1080p 60fps
3:21 never thought johnathan would say that in a video lol
no u a 10? What?! Johnathan never gives anything a 10! Wow I need to book lodging at breck like right now
Me either
@@goodridevibes yeah I stayed there once, the one I was at had a sick outdoor hot tub and ~1/8 mile hike access to 2 lifts on the mountain. Also had a path going right back up to it for when you needed to get back. 10/10 would rate 10/10 again
Do Devils Head Resort in Wisconsin. Shredded it a few times Big Chicago crowd but I enjoyed it a ton and last time they had a huge half pipe. Worth a visit.
I forget, have you done Heavenly, Northstar, Kirkwood or any of those around Lake Tahoe?
Was just gonna ask this 👌🏻
He’s only done Northstar
Yo you went to my hometown resort saw you tonight at nordic mountain!!!
Yay another review video
Can you go to crystal mountain in Washington
I often just skip Breck for Keystone during early season because it takes so long to get up, plus I don't want to pay for parking for limited terrain. Once everything opens it's a different story. But early season I usually will pass.
I agree. I find myself going to keystone often early but once the upper terrain at breck opens I rarely hit keystone
@@Londonocw Keystone is a gem, and early season and big weekends I don't mind skipping Breck for it. Honestly, I feel it gets a bad rap because it isn't Breck.
Hey can you Do little Switzerland in slinger I go there a ton I would appreciate it
Learner to ski there. Love it
Not wisconsin but you need to do a review of Mt Bohemia in the up of michigan. Its hard to get to but it's one of the most unique resorts in the US
Yo so I'm going to try snowboarding this year instead of skiing I'm 5'7 tall and skinny what would be a good cheap board
Rent one! No need to buy it. See if you like the sport first.
@@JohnathanBuckhouse ight bet I know one rule is to always be on one edge or you will catch one
About time I’ve been waiting for so long
Yo Breck could be my legit FAVORITE place to snowboard
only people who watched the premiere can like
Fuck it i liked this comment anyway
@@breckr1121 😂
These resort reviews really help me decide were to ski every year
Fuck the stars. Stay out of CO
@@Londonocw LOL we beat yall so good !
AVALNCHE SUCK- Cmon that overtime win was crazy! LOL AND GO STARS
Breck was worth it. Only got to unleash from intermediate skiers for a few runs, so I missed out on alot. The time before was a 3ft snow fall durring the day, so alot was not accessible due to dangerous conditions. Had no clue how big it was when I saw it 10 years later. Employees were very fun, professional, accommodating and welcoming. Beck was worth the money.
Haven’t been skiing in years. When I did it was in the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s. Sounds like the place has really changed a lot. Perhaps to over commercialized now days. My go to resorts we’re always Breck, Copper and Keystone, with Breck as my favorite. Generally we stayed in Dillon or Frisco and decided each day which resort we would go to. I mean seriously I remember being able to walk from public parking up to the main chair at peak 8 maybe 200-300 hundred yards, that’s sounds impossible today. As for food, I always packed my own and never came off the mountain, my time was to valuable. I was there to ski as much as possible instead of eating which was a low priority.
Let's go! Been waiting for this one.
Yooo
same! Love this place!
How’s the riding in late March early April at Breck?
Best!! I love it so much
Amazing! Super slushy though
Have you done Jackson hole? I would say that would get a total score over 80
I haven’t yet but I am excited to go
Huge shout out to Breckenridge Outdoor Education Center! BOEC is also at Keystone and Copper.
Ive always gone to keystone over breck just because of parking. Keystone you park and make it to the gondola in 10 minutes
100%
Such a bummer that Breck dumped Freeway and it sounds like they may be phasing out Bonanza as well. There is also a rumor going around that Keystone will be completely phasing out area-51 in the next 5 years.
Review Lutsen Mountains in Minnesota!
I’ve been waiting for that!👍🏻👍🏻
You should make a list like a leaderboard on resort reviews! so we are able do compare their grades!
I love that idea man! So much!!!
Stop by Snow Creek in Weston Missouri and review that place. Love the vids
That would be sick
Post a review for some of the North Carolina resorts you rode!!! Please keep in mind when scoring those that they could never compare to what is out west! Rate them fairly for what they have to offer southeast riders! ;)
I’m at sugar rn 😂
Since you worked and lived there, how expensive is it to live in breckenridge?
Very! Like $1,700 for a bedroom just to rent
@@JohnathanBuckhouse did you live alone? And was it just a seasonal job
Great review buckhouse, go easy on ads not even january lol
For the Wisconsin resort review, you should review Trollhaugen!
100%
you should do tyrol
also side note you should get up to mount bohemia in michigan to ride
Just got back home from Breck😁
Breck has a huge variety of terrain suitable to every taste, ability and powder stashes too. Are there better resorts? Probably, but in IMHO you should try riding back east for a few weeks...you know, to get context. Of course from the Lego helmet in the BG, you grew up riding the hills of Wisconsin!
I grew up riding keystone. We are going to snowboard a week on the East cost this season
Review Mt. Hood Meadows if you've ever visited
Great review, kind of harsh on the ease of access though. Obviously you have worked there but Ive skiied there my whole life and 9 is really accessible. Didnt think the Gondola was too hard to access, but I do agree parking sucks
What about night life?. Bars, night clubs, Apres ski
You should make a custom google map with a pin for each resort you have reviewed with its total rating and a link to the video
underrated series
Just went to Breck and Keystone. I had not been to Breck in about 28 years and went to Keystone last year. I enjoyed Breckenridge more than Keystone. I like how the blue runs are really wide. I think the food and lodge areas are nicer then Keystone as well. The scenery at Breck is a lot better than Keystone as well. The lift lines and crowds overall are probably the worst of any of the Summit county slops.
First let me say I lived at the base of Keystone in the 1990s so I am somewhat biased and I haven't been skiing at Breckenridge since then. These are my gripes about Breck, but some may no longer be valid.
1) Its big but all the hills are the same and point the same way. It doesn't have the variety of other ski areas.
2) You can waste your day traveling between the different mountains.
3) Having to park in the Keystone parking lot is worse than walking to the lift from my nearby place. But parking at Breck is the worst. It is far away and you would have to take a bus from the parking lot to the bottom lift. I hear they replaced buses with a lift but neither is fun compared to just being there.
4) The bottom lift has/had a metal subway turnstile. What ski area does that? That lift also had the feature of a nearby dumpster and its associated stink.
Breckenridge is inferior to Keystone in every way but one. If you are a young person wanting to go on vacation to ski and party, then Breckenridge is definitely the place to go in Summit County Colorado. They got the souvenirs, the bars, and the weed.
Reddz is my go to for lunch at breck while on the mtn
🤘🏼🤘🏼
You ever done a idaho resort?
Just bear tooth basin.
I am getting hyped up for my hill opening on Saturday
Let’s go!!!!
@@JohnathanBuckhouse y’a hopefully
Breck is very convenient. Where ever you stay at in Breck, you can take the free bus. You can walk to dinner etc… It makes it easier because you don’t need to rent a car and can shuttle from Denver.
I still think e chair has some of the worlds best runs
Do an Abasin resort review!
Yes 👏
Do brighton ski resort in Utah
Review alyeska ski resort in alaska brother!
Bring back the hair from your Breckenridge days!
Let’s gooooo
It's game time
Come on up to Alyeska outside Anchorage. Incredible views, incredible snow, incredible terrain, awesome staff, great food and beer.
The upper mountain is awesome. Lower mountain has a lot of easy stuff.
💯
You should check out SteamBoat
Maybe try copper
These review videos are sickk, would love to see east coast mountains scored one day
Vail next ??? Great video!
On Wisconsin! 👐🏼👐🏼
You should factor in snow quality/quantity
It’s hard buddy that changes year to year
I love your videos thanks
Heck yeah! Anytime
