my fiance and i are thinking of waiting until febuary to take our honeymoon. were thinking somewhere in colorado. we'd like it to be in the mountains too. i'm thinking a buget around $3000. can you guys help me out here?
for how long? Pretty sure you can find a LOT of places for under 3g's total. but depends on where. You guys ski / snowboard?
We (a group of friends) rented a condo in Dillon Co. Lake front (GORGEOUS view....)
here's a pic: (http://www.bob2bob.com/images/me25.jpg)
Plus, its in the middle of Breckenridge, Vail, and Vail Pass.
this is @ vail pass.

nowhere in colorado is worth going for $3000. sorry Aaron. :lol:
JK. It is pretty, I just wouldn't know where to go. Had a blast white water rafting out there.
Plus, another great thing about Co is... Minnesota we get f*ckin BALLZ cold... :mn:
colorado is a sissy winter w/ lots of snow.
were thinking we would be out there for about 3-4 days. we don't ski or snowboard, although Kaila wants to try snowboarding. we would like it to be near an airport because we would probably fly out.
Well what do you like to do? Give me some ideas of what you want to do and I can help you figure out where to go. We live in Colorado so I am sure we can find something for you. :thumbs:
well we were looking for somewhere we could maybe have snowmobile rentals. that's really the only activity we're looking for. were also looking a room with a fireplace and a jacuzzi tub for 2 in the room ;) and like i said before a great veiw of the mountains.
I go to colorado quite a bit and I love the Breckenridge, fisco area. I'm acutally headed up there in three weeks. I'm taking the wife up in the mountains in a Jeep. I had to share the experience with her. Being up above the tree line is indescrible! Are you guys skiers? If not dont worry about it. I've been skiing all my life, but two years ago I took the wife up to breckenridge to go sking and she did great! By the end of the weekend she was doing Blue runs in near blizzard conditions!
Honestly I think Breckenridge is the best area for a new comer to go. TONS of cool little hippy shops to look through. Your litterly IN the mountains!
Check these out.

http://pagosahotsprings.com/ This one is very nice and has mountains in view.
http://www.excellent-romantic-vacations.com/romantic-getaways-in-colorado.html This one has a bunch of different links to check out.
http://www.mtprinceton.com/index.html This is very romantic, and you are backed up against 14er's You have Mt. Princeton, Mt. Shavano, Mt. Antero and more. There is a airport in Salida Colorado which is 20 minutes from Mt. Princeton. You can do snowmobiling and snow boarding in Monarch which is not far from Mt. Princeton.
Snowmobiling rentals and tours. Like Shawn said the Breckenridge area is quite nice and they have snowmobiling and you said your wife wants to try snowboarding.

This should be enough to start you off. Let me know if you need any other info. Oh and my personal recommendations would be the Mt. Princeton area, its one of my favorites and is less crowded that time of year. Good luck!
The place I'm talking about had snowmobile rentals right next door. They drop you off @ vail pass and let you roam!
I used to live in Vail, F'n sweet!!!

We had one person come w/ us who had never ski'd or snowboarded before. She taught herself @ Vail. People think you should be a seasoned vet before you go out west, I beg to differ. In minnesota, we have mole hils. They get over run and hard packed. When you fall, you fall HARD! Out west you fall, and its like landing on a pillow. :)
we changed our minds we want to go to niagra falls now.
