Pandemic Breck Recs

Looks like me and the boy will be in Breck for about a week after President's Day this coming year. Given the uncertainty of the pandemic I find myself prioritizing a private hot tub as opposed to ski in/ski out in case lockdowns kick back in. It's been forever since I've skied Breck and it's apparently impossible to input exactly what I want in the usual Airbnb/VRBO sites.

I PM'd Blurred but haven't heard back yet, which Summit County Mag wants to point me towards the goods?

Thanks in advance of course.

Good luck.

And that's before lifts spin.

Holy fucking tone deaf entitlement, Batman. How about you don't take a ski trip this winter, you selfish fuck?

Oh, are we still doing that? How'd you even get up on that horse? Impressive.

Yeah, well read up on what's in place and preparing for the worst which is why I'm looking for a self-contained unit/place with a decent ripcord policy.

Glade, you seem exceptionally angry this morning. Is there anything you'd like to discuss?

Bmills, if they don't let you into Summit County, you can hit up Cockaigne. I know a guy who knows the owner.

If you wanna play that game lets play it. Here are the rule: Glademaster gets to weigh in on everyone's COVID compliance. He also gets to develop of public policy response to the fall out.

Fly or drive?

Dine in Take out?

Chairs or Gondi?

Public Bus?

How many non-household people can share lodging?

spoken like a real hardcore two year and done local you'd fit right in bro i"m kinda bummed you didn't take the job here cause I would have made sure your binder at hr was at least three inches thick before you left you need some pussy or change your mmj subscription to somthing that will mellow you out or stop drinking and smoking all together and get a better diet unless your just trolling

now that we got the d bag out of the way
polis has recently said he won't shut the state down but I would never trust a politician

short term rentals are huge here many too chose from everyone is going to have a refund cancellation policy that sucks although my buddy said they were having cancelations and having people fill the unit right after it opened back up I didn't ask him his policy for refunds

eating out in breck sucks either shitty food, shitty service, or both
might want to look into reservations if your going to go out
I haven't eaten out since early march because it's such a shit show and limited seating and I can't imagine a shitty eating out experience year ago got any better recently

do not bring your whole god damn family to the grocery store group shopping sucked before the panic and it sucks during the panic

no matter what is going on when you get here you will enjoy yourself

If you imagine glade typing on the commode, gritting his teeth trying to pass a softball-shaped shit, it's a lot funnier.

Thanks Fred. If we keep the trip on the books we're gonna treat it just like we have been every time we go to the beach this year: eat at home unless its outside at a distanced patio/deck; one person goes to the store; stay away from people while out enjoying yourself, take advantage of being outdoors, wear a mask, simple.

I'm seeing decent cancellation policies and good deep-cleaning policies on a lot of places, just haven't found that one with a private tub yet that fits the bill. Most airbnb's with one are 3-4 bed units and we just don't need that kind of space.

It could all go to shit of course, but that's why you plan things months in advance.

According to this from your very own Georgia Institute of Tech, looks like the current risk in Summit County is pretty high.

I am no fan of Breck, the hill or especially the town, but I just dont get how one can "enjoy oneself" in that place, or a hundred other ski towns right now, especially considering the cost and hassle of flying. The whole point of the place is walking around, shopping, eating, and drinking with a little skiing mixed in. That ain't happening this winter, nuh uh. Sorry. If you cant day trip or do quick overnights this winter in a place with a kitchen, does not sound like fun. If you must, and have to fly, I'd look at a warm weather fun place. If we're allowed to go there.

Edit: How are they going to get people up on that hill with that gondola at the parking lot? Right away you have a serious choke point.

It's almost like you've never been to Londonderry when you say stuff like that.

Benny’s not totally wrong that the town is a big draw there, and if you take that away what do you have? I’ll let you know after our Beav trip over the holidays. Gonna be quiet in that village, which is fine by me. Breckinridge does family shit easy and that’s what the original intent of this trip was, get the kid back on snow while my buddy does the same with his (they’re in the same class before Glade strokes out on that bit)

Also, looking to take a break from the beach for a bit. Been there a whole lot this year. Not complaining, just need a break.


Does anyone know of a travel agent that specializes in Londonderry?

I know a way in and can loan you a set of VT tags for the weekend.

You may have to submit to a Covid test and a rectal cavity search but I hear the skiing is worth it.

How's the soup?

The place to go this winter is Jay Peak. Half of their customer base walled at the border, and a large part of the other half not coming from other places.

yo bmills, if you can't make it out to breck, i'll see you and the kid at beech or sugar. you can hole up at my uncle's place.

That's a helluva ride though.

Btw. I'm seeing Canadian trucks up and down the Thruway. Do they have special dispensation? Saw a truck of Christmas trees this am.

Some pretty places up in those valleys.

Spent a long weekend up in Maggie Valley last winter during a storm cycle which was totally enjoyable.

It's been forever, but I recall Jay being a great spot. A haul to get to, but great.

way to go deep with the local insight benny
yeah I hate this place too it's the biggest ski town mountain town junk show in north america
I shake my head in disbelief when it comes to stupidity I see daily

on the other hand benny this is the greatest place to vacation and live
just about every day when I wave to someone in passing I know when I see some gaper taking a dumb photo and I take a second to look at what they are taking a picture of
when I think about the gondola a fifteen minute walk from my house the endless trails
I realize how fucking lucky I have been

town has been off the hook with visitors and this winter will be no different
book now or like when it comes to dating girls up here you'll loose your place in line

OP, are your only qualifications that the place be in Breck and have a hot tub? Maybe help us narrow it down for you. I mean if there's no spending limit, then the world is your oyster.

Most condos have shared hot tubs, tough to find something with private HT till you get into houses or duplexes.

Yeah I hear ya, and it appears that if I'm willing to look farther out Rt 9 there might be some options. Ideally I'd like to keep it under $450/night but it's just one and a half humans so extra space might be wasted if we went bigger to get the private HT.

I'd be down for tiny house/cabin if it gets us there.

Breck, Keystone and Vail are extremely important resorts for keeping the crowds down at other places. They are very large, have lots of runs and lifts and the Texans love them.

God bless those three mountains.

I recommend skiing with your kids.

Once you get off the base, get high (af) on the hill, and stay up there. Bring toe/hand warmers, extra layers, tp, beers, sandwiches, vape, extra goggles maybe, and patience. Places to get warm on the hill will be few and far, but the skiing will be there. The money involved will not allow a shutdown. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...ca2f142366.jpg

The Tiger Run RV park just north of Breck is actually pretty nice. Lots of "Trailers" (what people might now call tiny homes) that are pretty nice and affordable. Not sure on private HT availability.

It is also closer to getting to other local resorts like Keystone, which for as much shit as it gets, isn't that bad of a mountain if you are from out of town.

Breck is a shitshow, but if you embrace it, it is a pretty fun shitshow.

It’s especially funny to me because that is what I was doing when I read your post.

Thanks Wkd-rdr, this is kinda the plan. Eat breakfast, get out, get up and away from everyone, watch my kid get further hooked on this skiing thing, go home, eat chili, (hopefully soak in a tub with some beers), repeat.
