I am going to live in colorado next year and moving out there pretty blind. I am going to stay in boulder for a little bit but what are the best towns for being a ski bum and having a nice night life. I was thinking maybe frisco or crestte butte. What are they like?

move to frisco if you want a bunch of yuppie wankers and mediocre at best skiing. everything is REALLY expensive (rent, food, drinks, etc).

the butte is cool, lots of chill people and while rent is high, most other things aren't. great skiing too. the park has finally caught up with the extremes, plus insane backcountry.

look at durango and leadville. two good towns for skiing.

Just get a job as a liftie at breck, and live in employee housing. CB is pretty small, there's a few bars and a very expensive grocery store, last time i was there the movie theater was closed, I don't know if it still is. Summit county is pretty big and has just about everything a majoy city does.

who cares how expensive it is, its a sick place to live, and as far as i'm concerned the most positive atmosphere of anywhere in colorado...not everyone needs bars to have fun and what not...as far as expensive, dude everything in the mtns is frikin expensive, i went to a movie in dillon once and it was 12.50 for just me....so i'm pretty sure its gonna be expensive anywhere bud

Sac's right, this place sucks. Plus, that new ski shop going in next year only carries twin-tips! What the fuck is up with that?
