You are considering Breckenridge Colorado Ski Resorts. Yes, Breckenridge is beautiful. Awesome, in fact! Whenever I visit I can't help just looking around at the beauty of the slopes, the town sitting at the base of the runs and the majesty of it all. So now I know that I want to go back to ski in Breckenridge. It is time to plan my ski vacation to Colorado.

You are considering Breckenridge Colorado Ski Resorts. Yes, Breckenridge is beautiful. Awesome, in fact! Whenever I visit I can't help just looking around at the beauty of the slopes, the town sitting at the base of the runs and the majesty of it all. So now I know that I want to go back to ski in Breckenridge. It is time to plan my ski vacation to Colorado.

But wait; let me think about this a little. Whenever, I have gone, I have a party of friends along for the experience. We have convened at the airport, flown to Denver, and made the trek west along I-70 (and sometimes route 285), sharing stories, laughing and taking in the sites along the snow covered roads cutting through the Rockies to make our way to our ski resort. We are in Colorado Ski country and loving it! After the mild epic to get to Breckenridge, which is an integral part of the experience, we hunt down our resort in the village of Breckenridge, check in and disperse into our own rooms. We play phone tag a little; decide to meet in the lobby to go out for dinner, so we can continue our vacation together. And this is the first time it hit me like a duh or a-ha moment; more later.

After gathering at the front entrance, we take what seems like forever to get moving, but we make our way down Main Street to get some food. We eat at the local brewery, and our ski trip off and running. After a great meal, we head back to our ski resort, discuss times to head out to the ski in the morning and separate to our rooms. And again it hits me.

The next three days of skiing in Breckenridge is perfect. The sun was out most of the time. We had great weather and the slopes were perfect. We ski all day every day, meeting for dinner and nightlife each night. The vacation was awesome, with the exception of the duh moment; now explained... we are only together part of the time.

Ever since the first day it hit me. Why are we staying in the resort? It is certainly a nice place, but we are all splitting up for the better part of each night. It occurred to me that we should have rented a condo in Breckenridge or even a home. It was certainly obvious to me. I wondered whether it was as obvous to everyone else. How perfect would it be to be together in a Breckenridge home rental. We would have been the best of everything brought in one place. We should have all been staying in the same place. Then, we could have eaten in the condo; continued our laughs; and party would never end: the great solution!

On the last night of our trip we discussed our next ski trip and all decided to rent a condo on the next trip. Ideally this gets to you in time, before you book your Colorado ski vacation, so you can consider whether you want the resort life, or the added experience that sharing your ski time and your personal time by renting a condo or home for your next ski vacation.
