5.Breckenridge
Remnants of Breckenridge’s history as a mining hub give the town a distinct aesthetic. The Rocky Mountains that serve as the town’s backdrop, the locale’s thousands of acres of skiable terrain and the area’s long ski season make Breckenridge a ski destination for the books. When the powder melts, the verdant vegetation that floods the trails make Breck (as locals call it) magical. What’s more, the beer scene is an attraction in its own right.
6.Vail
This iconic ski town is a popular haven for celebrities and winter sports enthusiasts. With thousands of acres of snowy trails spread across one of the largest single-mountain resorts in the country, Vail is known for its top-notch skiing and snowboarding. But there is more to the town than just its slopes. When the snow melts and the temperatures rise, Vail’s Epic Discovery area invites visitors to engage in other outdoor activities like zip lining and mountain coaster rides. Those looking for less adrenaline-inducing entertainment should check out the Betty Ford Alpine Gardens and central Vail’s boutiques.
