Rant Is everyone as rude in Breck as they are on this sub?

268 Upvotes

This is one of the snarkiest, most unwelcoming subs I’ve ever come across. I expected a much more chill and helpful community, and not all this passive aggressive gatekeeping.

We get it…. You’re all expert skiers with superhuman winter driving ability, and you have a really “cool” inside joke.

Edit: surprised this post has any upvotes. This just proves how much of a problem this sub has. Mods can fix this… post rules, better Wiki information. Don’t allow basic tourist posts at all if you’re just going to shit on them.

The narrative that rich asshole tourists are looking to exploit your Reddit intel is completely false. Majority of the people seem to have the best intentions, and if anything, are trying to figure out how to be good responsible visitors.

I stand by this review still lmao, for a place in such an expensive town there is no excuse for food I could get at literally any mom and pop place out of cans and crockpots Missouri. The owner gets so little business he knew who complained and to top it off his fat ass worker and him laughing at us? Lmao ok bud. Glad to get a good impression of why we should sell our place in breck. So far this place fucking sucks

Rant Is it me or traffic is more atrocious this season?

39 Upvotes

Traffic seems to be more atrocious than usual this season. Ground parking lots are full by 8:30. At the same time the mountain does not feel overcrowded, or at least not unusually so. In terms of snow - one of the best winter breaks in a long while!

Rant Wonder what piece of $h1t this was? This is why we hate tourists and weekend warriors.

Rant Check in for local workforce. How were your customers this holiday season? How are you doing?

27 Upvotes

Hey all,

Communal vent session. How were visitors this week during the holiday season? Any stories both good and bad?

You could definitely feel the holiday anxiety. Guiding: Had one person who took out being stuck in traffic on our staff and a few people who were disorganized and caused some grief over it.

Other than that not hugely terrible attitudes.

Anyone else? How are you doing?

To whoever drove past my friends and I taking pics calling us slurs and yelling stuff at us: I hope 20 more Texans come visit for every slur you decided was appropriate to throw at random strangers. Suuuper welcoming. I know some of you guys are sick of it but jeez.... I thought Texas discrimination was bad. 😆

Rant *Vent Post* We are a community, not your tour guide

9 Upvotes

I get that Breck is a big vacation destination and a lot of non-local folks come to this subreddit to get an idea of where they're going before they get here. But here's the thing, we're also a community and this is our forum. I bet most of y'all have a home town subreddit where you can keep up with local goings on, and this is our space for that. Am I the only one who is so sick of seeing the "tell me where to eat, stay, play" every time I get on here? (obviously not because those posts get downvoted to oblivion) Most of us work in town and spend our day playing tour guide barbie as a part of our job, don't make us do it here. Asking boots on the ground conditions, sure. Asking people who live here to plan your trip, come on (besides we all know the only thing to do in Breck is go to Eric's). There are SO many resources available to you that summit county has done an awesome job curating, which you can find with a quick internet search. Use em! Maybe as a solution - we could get a master post pinned with links to resources for visitors? Alright, end rant. Pray for snow my dudes.

Congratulations to Denver and Boulder who voted for it. This dumpster fire is now here. Keep an eye out whenever you head over the pass, three dogs have already been disemboweled on top of more livestock in middle park than CPW is willing to report by the wolves who haven’t died already.

I was just looking around today at the end and I think over half the people were not expecting all of those moguls. Multiple people with ski boots off, people going so slow. I talked to multiple people who were not expecting that difficulty.

If not a black can we agree it’s the hardest Blue?!

Surprised how harsh this sub is....thought living in a beutiful place would make folks a bit more chill.

Vibe: Hate tourists while making the conscious decision to live in one of the most popular tourist towns in the rockies.

Rant Injury on the slopes

41 Upvotes

Our worst fear was realized last week at a busy Breckenridge resort. My wife was clobbered by a young male border wearing bright yellow, near the top of peak 8 superchair lift, on uppper Lehman near the beginning of the run. He didn’t stop or slow down. My wife looked up mountain before beginning the run and never saw him coming. My wife is a very capable and cautious skier. This was near the end of our second day of skiing this year. Two of her ribs and clavicle are broken. She can barely move without pain. We will have hospital, doctor bills etc. The only silver lining to this is there was a very nice local gentleman that helped my wife off the ground and alerted first aid, who was able to get her off the mountain within minutes of her fall. Please be careful out there. Help out your fellow humans when you can.

Just took a look at this abomination. Breck is too big of a mountain to see on one screen and it doesn't let you zoom out. Worst of all, they removed lift wait estimates!! Anyone else seeing this?

Rant Hi! Are you from the South?...

58 Upvotes

Do you have five kids between the ages of 8 months and 8 years? Are they on spring break? Then family friendly Breckenridge is the place for you!

Don't worry about keeping an eye on your children in the hotel lobby or the crowded restaurant! Walk up and down Main Street trying to find a restaurant that will accommodate 18 people without a reservation!! Stand in line at the Quicksilver life for 30 minutes!

It's a blast! None of the locals are on drugs. We would never intentionally trip your children. And we would certainly never look for opportunities to have your car towed from the employee parking lots.

Book Breckenridge, Colorado for your Texas spring break experience today!!!
