| You are considering Breckenridge Colorado Ski | | | | Breckenridge is perfect. Lots of sun, great temps and |

| Whenever I visit I can't help just looking around at | | | | injuries (not bad for flatlanders). We made our way |
| the beauty of the slopes, the town sitting at the | | | | to the slopes each day and gathered for dinner and |
| base of the runs and the majesty of it all. So now I | | | | some fun each night. The ski vacation was perfect, |

| But wait; let me think about this a little. Whenever, I | | | | It hit me soon after we arrived the first day and had |

| experience. We have convened at the airport, flown | | | | not all staying in the same place? Why are we at this |
| to Denver, and made the trek west along I-70 (and | | | | resort, which is nice and all, but then each of us going |
| sometimes route 285), sharing stories, laughing and | | | | our separate ways for the better part of each |
| taking in the sites along the snow covered roads | | | | evening? Then it hit me; we should have rented a |
| cutting through the Rockies to make our way to our | | | | condo or home in Breckenridge. It was obvious, like |
| ski resort. We are in Colorado Ski country and loving | | | | the tree I was heading toward on the second day |
| it! After the mild epic to get to Breckenridge, which is | | | | when I suddenly realize I cannot avoid the impending |
| an integral part of the experience, we hunt down our | | | | collision. Perfect; a Breckenridge home rental would |

| disperse into our own rooms. We play phone tag a | | | | If we had the forethought to look for a condo rental |
