Good place to snowboard in colorado or new mexico?

i love to snowboard and i need a new place in either of the 2 states. i've heard copper mountain was good but i've been riding there for years, i need some place new.Good place to snowboard in colorado or new mexico?
i went to steamboat springs in colorado, and that place was SICK! the town is a lot like Bend Oregon if you've ever been there. the mountain is just right in the town. you can walk or take the bus from pretty much anywhere. its about 50k people, maybe alittle less, and its just a really super chill town. young people who like to have adventures. theres a lot of cool shops and stuff to do. the mountain is really sweet and has a big gondola that goes up the middle. the terrain park is really nice, and sponsored by like Sobe, RED, and some other companies. its a hell of a nice park with some really sweet rails and a snow box which ive never had a chance to ride before. the park is also sort of secluded so you dont get every moron and his two bastard kids trottin through and messing up lips and sitting in landing spots. and the park has its own lift, and on an empty day you can ride down the park, through the whole empty line, and sit on the chair. you can go like 4 hours without having to ever strap and unstrap your back foot. as for the rest of the mountain its REALLY nice, there are a lot of trails, and plenty of cat tracks so you can get to the opposite side easily. there are a lot of really different trails, and if you look for them you can find some sweet hidden cliffs and cool backcountry spots.

OH and the best part, if you go all the way upto the summit, theres a SWEET veiw, and it took me and my brother seriously half an hour to get down to base, its that long of a ride. i mean we were kinda poking along cause we bump and ride off every cliff and tree well we see, so i guess if you pulled balls to the wall it would still take like 15 or even 20 minutes depending on your route. its so fun, you should definately go there.
Telluride has some big mts. and good snowGood place to snowboard in colorado or new mexico?
i have snowboarded all of colorado and the best place i have found is wolf creek ski area, proven to be the best snow in colorado, its located between South Fork and Pagosa Springs Colorado. You can visit their web site at www.wolfcreekski.com
If you want killer powder and no lift lines Pagosa Springs CO has Wolf Creek pass. Cheap rooms and natural hotsprings to enjoy some beer or a nice hooter at the end of the day. This place gets the most snow in CO every year by Jan they usually have a 129 inch base!! New Mexico's best resort is Angel Fire if you like to ride the park. Ski Apache is good but only when they have snow because it's south of Albuquerque. If you're in Abq then Creek is only a 4 hour drive. I almost forgot about Purgatory and Telluride two hours further both in southern CO as well.
I case you want to start skiing there is always taos.
