Smushie I have looked, thanks for being a jerk about it. I am aware that there are other location near by, I guess I was looking for recommendations on whether it is worth checking out the other ski hills or if there is fun stuff like hot springs, etc in other towns nearby.

If you buy a multi-day pass to Breck you can also ski Vail and Beaver Creek. If you buy a 5 day I beileve you can go 1 day to either. Keystone is also part of the package. If you're an upper level skier it would be an excellent idea to at least take one day at Vail. You might want to come back if you do.

As stated by the previous poster, if you buy a multi-day pass you might be able to use a day at Vail or Beaver Creek. You automatically get Keystone & A-Basin.

Hot Springs:

Buena Vista- Mt. Princeton or Cottonwood Hot Springs

Glenwood Springs- hot springs

Breckenridge is a great ski town and mountain. Since you are there I'd do most of your skiing there, and maybe ski one other nearby place one day if you feel like it later in the week. For fun diversions other than skiing, we thought the gold mine tour in Breckenridge was very good. I thought it would be lame, but it was really interesting. Also if you want another day off of skiing for rest or reprieve from high lift ticket prices, a very fun diversion was the tubing at Keystone, We did both of these activities Christmas week.

We are coming to Breck innovate Jan. wondering what you think about Base 9 Condos vs The Village at Breckenridge to save a little money. I've looked at videos of both and wondering if we l would be happier with the location on the Village. We are two brothers so don't need fancy accommodations. Also, the Super Shuttle from the airport and ski shuttle vs. renting a car.

Charlotte:

Village At Breck is right at the base of Quicksilver lift. More of a resort style property. Pool, indoor/outdoor hot tubs...

Base 9- single condo complex. Indoor hot tub. typically nice sized units. Probably a 5 minute flat walk to the Quicksilver lift. Walk is easy, I used to own/live just on the other side of Base 9 and did the walk all the time.

Base 9 is a few minute (flat) walk to the southern end of Main St.

As long as you don't mind a flat walk, you really do not need a car for either location unless you want to drive (or the cost is cheaper to rent), do a day trip somewhere... You can take a free shuttle to City Market (local grocery store).

Village At Breck has a $14/day (or something like that) for parking.

If you don't need anything fancy, Base 9 is fine and in a good location. All units (and this applies for all units in all complexes) are individually owned so there might be a unit that is in serious need of TLC and the next door neighbor's unit is updated. So, look at pics of the unit if possible.
