I booked some place called 3 peaks lodge which is close by skiing and only 150/night

---

I live right behind here and it’s about a 5 minute walk to the Peru lift, just make sure to hit the crosswalk button when crossing hwy 6. 3 Peaks used to be rough but it was getting renovated during the entire quarantine and the lobby is nicer now but I haven’t seen the rooms yet, I’m sure it’ll be fine though.

Fisherman have the right to wade fish or float the water

---

While on big rivers you may be allowed to float through private water you are not allowed to wade or touch the banks. There are some places where even floating is not allowed though.

Wading on private streams is a pretty big no-no here

Is Breckenridge requiring mask to entire everywhere? I was in Carbondale, Crested Butte and BV recently and they weren’t messing around. No mask no entry anywhere.

---

That’s how it is here, lots of talk about folks from new hotspots bringing it back here. We were an early outbreak location and even had the first case in the state across the street from my house. We shut down before the rest of the state and have been slower in opening up.

Wearing masks is expected and isn’t political up here, just looking out for your neighbors so it’s still required in all stores.

Frisco and Breck both have promenades set up on their man streets. Usually you must wear a mask when entering a restaurant but you may take it off at the table. Most indoor seating is still limited as well as the number of customers allowed in stores.

kicked out of college for taking a conservative stance. Liberal is okay though

---

Lay off the Fox News there brotha, I was conservative all through college and never had a problem let alone got kicked out of college for it. Nobody in this country is getting kicked out of a college (public or private) for their political party affiliation.

There’s still a lot of folks from out of town here, I’m not really sure why though. There are still quite a few rental and Texas plates around and half the front range still comes up to ski and boot pack skin tracks. Businesses may not be open but trailheads are definitely full.

Congaree National Park has a nice boardwalk and a few short trails, it might be too hot for that this time of year though

Subaru is the answer here. I drive up Loveland Pass every day in the winter and have passed countless Jeeps, SUV’s, and 4x4 pickups stuck in the snow bank. Snow tires make a huge difference too though, there’s no amount of snow I won’t drive in with my beat up old Forester with snow tires.

What's some good activities around the area for this time of year

---

Hiking, biking, and golf are the big three. Atv and side by side rentals are a great way to spend the day as well. Another poster mentioned going to Melanzana in Leadville, they make awesome stuff at cheap prices but they don’t normally have much stock to chose from.

Beautiful state but half is the desert and Denver is getting rediculous. I find Utah to be much more beautiful and the skiing is better. however it doesn’t compare as you can drink more than a 3% beer and smoke pot in Colorado.

---

Half of Colorado is plains and half of UT is desert, desert > plains by 1000 though. I live in Summit County Co and I agree that Utah is prettier and much more affordable too, I find myself dreaming about moving one state over more and more these days.

You would be well advised not to drive back from Colorado into Texas carrying a bunch of weed, especially the derivatives like oil or wax.

Can confirm, I got harassed at a rural highway rest area driving through TX with CO plates not too long ago
