    I'm planning a trip at the moment. It's going to be 3 of us. 20th-23rd of Feb. I just got an online quote to Steamboat. $1355 ($450 per person) lodging, ski lift tickets, and board rentals for 2. Does that sound right?

    I live in Colorado, and honestly Aspen is not the best area to go for skiing. Go to Steamboat or Winterpark. Copper is nice but it is right on I-70.

    Wow. I'm looking at Breckenridge, and found a better deal for a room.

    Breckenridge
    Lift tickets and rentals - $753.43
    lodging - $123.99
    total - $877.42 ($292.47/person)

    Fuel - $110/person round trip


    Total 4 days(lodging, lift, rental, travel) - $1207.42 ($402.47/person)


    Steamboat
    Lift tickets and rentals - $674
    lodging - $499.04
    total - $1173.04 ($391.01/person)

    Fuel - Same

    Total 4 days(lodging, lift, rental, travel) - $1503.04 ($501.01/person)




    Which place has the better "nightlife", so we have something to do after the lifts close?

    breck nightlife >> steamboat nightlife... steamboat has the "tugboat", and maybe another billiards/bar place up by the mountain, and some places in the town, ...but i'd say breck is better ;)
