Breckenridge is my favorite resort because of the great conditions and beautiful vistas. My favorite holiday memory is sitting in a warming hut at the top of the mountain on Christmas Eve.
We had skiied hard all day. As we sat inside the hut; the fire was burning, we were sipping hot chocolate, and huge snow flakes were falling outside the window, with the Rockies in the background. PRETTIEST THING I EVER SAW !
Pros: variety of slopes, scenery, nice town
Cons: lift lines, crowds on weekends, expensive food
