A Snowy Vacation Home.. Where Should it Be?

[raptor517]

Me and Jman are looking to buy a vacation house. Our first thought was Colorado.

We want to be able to go up there whenever we feel like it. Sometimes just for a few days or more to relax and have fun, sometimes for a month at a time to grind 8 hours a day and ski and relax the rest of the time, with no distractions.

We were thinking of spending something in the neighborhood of $600k, but we aren't really deadset on that.

Recently I talked to some people who've suggested other places, one being Sun Valley, Idaho, another Park City, Utah, or even Jackson Hole, Wyoming. I don't know much at all about it, but from what we found online, it looks nice. Can you help us decide on a place to buy, EDF? Maybe you have some other suggestions of just experiences in areas.

Some things we like:

Places near airports
Places near ski slopes
Places near places that deliver food
The word 'places'
Places where young people might live or vacation
Maybe some golfing, or just any other fun activities

Thanks guys.

i made enough money i just decided that costa rica sucks and theres better things to do with my money than invest it in a third world country that i wouldnt end up ever visiting. i have no motivation and this isnt about building any, its about finding a comfortable place to relax.

also guys, please more info on the different locations, im not really looking for 1 word responses that i can research. i can type top 50 places to ski in google and figure those out myself. im looking for experiences, actual thoughts, etc etc. thanks!

I'm looking for more gay jokes.

Edit: And this was a terrible OP and the antithesis of this forum.

WRT skiing I've skiied all these places.

Park City is really nice, lots of high speed lifts. I like the other Salt Lake ski resorts as well.

Sun Valley was crowded when i went there, presidents day though.

Jackson Hole I dont remember specifically, but no bad memories.
