Breckenridge - need a recommendation (1 Viewer)

[The Dude]

Looking to go around Jan 5 for 4 days.  Where should I stay in Breckenridge ($500 per night)?  Is it a good time to go?  Looking to snowboard.

Would look at Airbnb first. 

 

[DA RAIDERS]

at 5 bills a night, you should have plenty of options.  they should be getting/have gotten some snow.  so conditions should be pretty good.

 

[Terminalxylem]

Agree with Airbnb. Conditions are typically hit or miss early Jan. Also Breck over calls snow totals.

39 inch base, with not a ton more forecast in the next week. Any chance you can go a bit down the road to Vail?

Yeah, I didn’t bother to check all the local snow totals, but as a general rule, Vail skis better than the other big resorts nearby when the base is poor.

Yeah, the Rockies haven’t had much snow yet. That better change before I go to Vail, Telluride and Park City in Feb.

Shoot, I’ll be there the third week of the month.

Which areas/runs do you like in Park City? There are some decent, but short steep areas in Jupiter Bowl and McConkeys on the Park City side, and I like Condor Woods and Canis Lupus in The Canyons.

Yep--lived here all my life and never seen anything like it.

Fire season is going to be scary if we don't get something soon.
