Pandemic Breck Recs

[Timberridge]

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.

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.

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.

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.

Sounds legit

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

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.

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.

God damn. Future indoor fire sticks. A bit dry by Xmas.

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.

Have you not been paying attention? Subway tile backsplash girl, wall of windows girl, redwood hot tub fence girl...

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.

I see the Christmas Spirit has hit you early this year Ben. Cheers buddy.

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.

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

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

We should start a thread in the main forum and have him banned.

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.

Have you been hanging out in the ECRC or Rat Flu thread this morning?

Thanksgiving will be a major superspreader event, and Xmas will just seal that deal. Good luck!

I plan on lining the walls of the property with boiling turkey fryers to keep any raiding inlaws at bay.

[Timberridge]

That does it Benny.

I'm working my @ss off on the Christmas stuff, that you know, who gives a f*** about the Christmas stuff and decorations? But I need to do it, right?

[Benny Profane]

I'm hoping that that the neighborhood in Baltimore that goes whole hog with decorations does it this year. Xmas Eve and night is surprisingly uncrowded.

I still can't believe this got almost no traction in the news.

This could be your new sig, Benny.

I really don't care. Do u?

[BmillsSkier]

I know I'm playing catchup here, but is there some new 2020 thing regarding putting up Christmas decorations?

I'll take a decorated private hot tub please.

[garyfromterrace]

For $200 Alex?
Whoops, too soon?
