My son and two of his friends in college have decided to go skiing for Spring Break. They will be leaving from Dallas. Of course for college kids skiing is not the only reason they go. I am helping them look for something that might fit their style with a little night life. Breckenridge looks like a possibility. They will be on a college budget of course. I trust the GS to give me great guidance on this one. Any suggestions, thanks.

Decent snow this year. Breck has more street activities vs the other resorts although Keystone is developing the resort area. College kids probably will like that better than Keystone area although they are only 20 minutes apart. Lots of people there so it should fit their objectives.
They may want to check on Liftopia now to see what discounts they can get on tickets. Like the airlines, there are a certain amount of tickets they sell at reduced prices so sooner is better.

A case of altitude sickness that we flatlanders frequently experience really puts a damper on the party. Might consider something with a little less altitude.
If they go to Summit County make sure they look into Arapaho Basin. It is well known for "the beach". An all day parking lot party in the spring. A Basin.Last edited by Burntorange Bowhunter; 01-28-2013, 06:16 PM.

The long answer is you can take Summit Express from the airport to almost any ski resort. Summit county is the closest great skiing and you can get to anything from Vail/Beaver Creek and all points in between.
You said on a budget so the next isn’t really an option, but you can fly into Eagle Regional airport as well
