On the way up, we saw some light snow flurries, and by the time we reached the top, it was actively snowing. The scenery is absolutely stunning definitely a must-see if you're in the area. Just a heads-up: it can get icy and slippery, so be careful while walking around. Overall, it's a beautiful spot and perfect for enjoying the snowy mountain views! Plus it's free!

I don't ski, but I love the town of Breck and I love seeing some of my favorite bands-for FREE! So,…read moreI heard about Spring Fever, Breckenridge's annual end of ski season festival, since I've moved here, but never made the trek up the mountain to check it out. But this year I was determined to make 1 show. We chose the last one of the month long event (the best band in the line up-moe.) The ride up wasn't so bad, and it was totally worth it. The band was great, and you could tell they were stoked to be playing there. They went on promptly at 3 and ended right at 5. It's a short show, but really, you can't complain since it's free. The beer and food prices were steep, but you can bring your own. We did pack a cooler full of beer and snacks and hauled it up with us. We weren't sure if they would allow it on the gondola but no one seemed to care, and there were several others with coolers. You can drink behind a certain blue line, as long as you are outside this magic line you were golden. Inside the magic blue line is where they sell their $9 Budweisers. No thanks. The back drop for the stage was as cool as it gets. Coming down the slopes throughout the show were skiers and boarders. Some were even catching major air off ramps. It was pretty cool. It made me want to learn how to do ski! And instead of the glow stick war, there was a massive snow ball war. I had to duck more than once! The staff was super cool dealing with a bunch of drunken ski bums and hippies who ventured out in the snow for this. Once the show was over, they wanted everyone off the mountain with quickness. It was all set up in a very organized fashion to shuffle us all out in the gondolas. The line was a bit long, but it moved quickly. I recommend packing a cooler and taking the trip to Breck and checking this out. I am going to keep my eyes open for next year's line up.

It was held at the Riverwalk Center, and despite having a ticket, it took us 20 minutes to get in once doors opened. Not to worry , there were plenty of samples to be had! They gave you a commemorative jumbo shot glass where you could go to the various booths and receive samples of straight liquor and liqueur or craft cocktails. It was really busy, and despite the seemingly treacherous flooring in the Riverwalk Center, it was pretty civilized and organized. Most people thought it was worth the $45! My favorites were the Rising Sun and Angel Fire. I also liked two cocktails especially well--the old fashioned sno-cone and the smoky one with the cookies! I might have gotten pictures:) We took a shuttle, don't drink and drive!

We had very little information to go off of so we took a leap of faith, booked the condo, and bought the tickets online. For all of $25 we weren't sure if we were stumbling into a bust of an event or not, and visions of standing around in the cold amongst folding tables drinking small thimbles full of cheap vodka danced in our heads. As it turns out the event is apparently one of the best kept secrets in Colorado! The event was indoors at a great venue, extremely well run with a large turnout, live band, food, and tons of extremely attentive spirit distributors exhibiting. Instead of just sampling straight liquor all night virtually every distillery has signature cocktails for you to sample, and some of the were just mind blowingly delicious. Some of my favorite distilleries in attendance were Peach Street (the big winners), Forecastle Rum, Montanya, Stranahan's, and Black Canyon (I still fantasize about their whiskey-rita). All in all it was an amazing event and quite possibly the best $25 I've ever spent. Don't hesitate to grab your friends, book a condo, and come up for this event in 2014!
