Poolparty posted:I did a winter season in Breckenridge in 2008/2009 and it I would definitely recommend it. The biggest bonus of living in Breck is that there is a free bus service (hopefully it still exists) that goes to Keystone and A-basin ski resorts and the towns of Frisco and Dillon. The town itself is much more condensed with bars and restaurants being on one main road, which creates a pretty awesome apres lifestyle. Rent in town wasn't too horrendous but that may have changed now that the US economy has recovered since 2008. Yep, the bus still exists. I was in Breck a few years ago and it's a super cool town. It has all of the nice features you'd expect from a ski town (ie. good restaurants and some non-skiing related attractions), but it doesn't have the same sort of "if you're not super rich, you're the help" feel of Aspen. Not to mention the mountain is pretty good. Relish was really great if you want a semi-pricy meal, and the Blue Moose is a solid if unremarkable greasy spoon. The only downside of Breckenridge is that it gets loving cold in the winter. Colder than the vast majority of mountain/ski towns I've spent time in. I haven't been to Vail since I was a kid, so sadly I can't compare the two.
