About to head out (leaving Saturday at 2pm) for Breckenridge, CO.

26-ish hour bus ride there, then 5 days in Summit county/Vale. One day at Vale, probably at least a day split between A-Basin and Keystone, then the rest at Breck. Staying slopeside with ski in off of 4 o'Clock.

Ah... The good life.

Two secondary objectives:-Take a couple of my beers to Breckenridge Brewery and get opinions (I generally take a sample to brew masters at any microbrewery I visit.-Make additional job contacts on-mountain.

Things packed for the bus: 200 Jello shots.1 gallon of homemade irish cream2 half-gallons liquor2 loaves of spent-grain bread (bread made from the grains you use in brewing)20 cases of Rockstar (split with the other people on the bus)

Win.

I've been to Vale and Breckenridge and I've gotta say it was a complete blast. The slopes there pwn all others as well as the restaurant's. Have fun and be sure to post pics.

I kinda miss living less than 3 hours from there...

Breckenridge Brewery is fantastic. Some excellent brews coming from that place.

Why are you taking spring break so early? Where's spring? I'm still sitting in two feet of winter over here.
