We recently planned our first trip to Breckenridge, Colorado, and had a great time. Amazing town - great little main street, fabulous skiing with great location and easy parking, fun restaurants and night life, plus lots of outdoorsy extras! Many thanks to my friend Melissa for her many great finds in this town.
