re: Breckenridge Christmas 2022 - where to stay

My wife learned on peak 9 last year. We stayed in a ski in/ski out right off of Quicksilver. It worked out perfectly. There were so many easy runs to choose from over there without having to connect to the other areas.
For the more advanced skiers, it was easy to make your way across the mountain to the other peaks.

re: Spin-off thread : where to stay in London / Paris ?
Posted by Joben88 on 4/14/22 at 3:14 pm
My wife and I just got back earlier this week from a similar trip. We did Liverpool, London, Paris, and Epernay.
We were on a budget compared to some of the hotels listed in this thread. In each city we tried to stay around $200/night. There are plenty of options that are well reviewed around that range.
In London, we stayed at the Resident Victoria which allowed us easy access to a lot of cool areas. We had never been so we wanted to hit a lot of the popular spots. That location allowed us to walk to Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, Natural History Museum, & Hyde Park. We also walked to a show at Piccadilly Theatre & a few of the food halls around the area. Recommend Kricket in Soho for Indian Food. I saw Dishoom mentioned earlier, which I am sure is good, as the line to get in was around the block when we walked by it:lol: We also liked the Seven Dials Food Hall.
In Paris, we stayed at the Hotel Opera Maintenon. Again for this price range we were able to walk pretty much everywhere we wanted to go. We were able to walk to the Louvre, d'orsay, Notre Dame, Eiffel Tower, and Sacre Coeur. Also visited Versailles which is easy to get to if you are willing to navigate the train system. A dinner that I would recommend is on the Don Juan II. You cruise down the river while enjoying a Michelin star tasting menu. We also ate at Georges (Recommended to us), which had a great view. What we probably enjoyed the most though was finding random cafes and popping in for a glass of wine.
Travel was easy both places. We used the train system each time we moved on to a different city. Also, uber was reliable anytime we had to go somewhere that was farther than a walk. Cabs are plentiful at the airports and train stations. The most stressful part was probably the covid test we had to take the day of our flight back to the states :lol:
Enjoy your trip!

Did this in college at the beef jerkey outlet in Denham Springs. They put it on a toothpick for you to roll on your tongue. When we vomited we had to sign our names on a 5gal bucket as a sign of defeat. That experience still haunts me.

re: How far in advance planning for ski trip
Posted by Joben88 on 9/4/20 at 1:29 pm
You absolutely do not need to book a year in advance. We go during mardi gras every year and book a spot a few months in advance on Airbnb or Vrbo. Normally we are not ski in/ski out because we don't mind driving a few minutes to save some money and have a larger space.
This year lift tickets will be done differently for a good bit of the resorts. Seems that epic pass members will have priority, but I don't think there should be that much of an issue getting lift tickets. Maybe I am being overly optimistic :lol:
