Snowboarding and Accommodation in Denver, Colarado?

I am a 28 year old male and will be travelling through the States in January/February and on my travels will be passing through Denver for about a week with the intention of maybe snowboarding:Breckenbridge, Vail or Copper Mountain. I will be travelling on my own and will need accommodation and would like to be somewhere with good Apres ski.

I am not made of money but not a cheap *** either. Can anybody recommend a good place to Board, sleep and party for the individual traveler around the Denver region.Snowboarding and Accommodation in Denver, Colarado?

I'm not sure what the guy above me is talking about, A-Basin is DEFINETELY NOT a beginner mountain, and Keystones just as expensive as breckenridge. IF you stay in Denver be prepared for an 1.5+ hour drive to breckenridge or copper (they are right near each other, and a well over 2 hour drive to vail. Vail is the most awesome mountain in the country, and has quite the nightlife, dig up some cash and stay there.
