Cindy Kleh Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 Try the Alpine Inn in Frisco (behind Best Western) or the Super 8 in Dillon. There are also some reasonable hotels in Silverthorne below 1-70. Or try the Arapahoe Inn in Keystone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecnalubma Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 If your just looking for a bunk there used to be a hostel in Silverthorne, don't know if they're still in business though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDY_2_Carve Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 There's a couple places in Leadville that are very reasonable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A short walk to the grocery store too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twelsch42 Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 I was able to get in on a shared housing in Breck. Something you might think about for next season. Some of the ~8 members use it for the weekends - I'm a weekday member. So far it's worked out great for me. Between savings on gas, and getting in extra days, I'm almost going to break even. The deal I worked out was $200 a month for a 6mo lease nov-april. Check out craigslist for shared housing. Are you in the Denver area? I usually make it up Monday, Tuesday, and or Wednesday. If I remember you ride on at copper ... I only have a 5mtn / loveland weekday pass. twelsch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. T Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 The Moose Jaw in Frisco has a nice spot under the pool table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davekempmeister Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 Past few years I've been using Priceline on day of stay just an hour or two before I want to check in. Great if you are mobile in a small town like Frisco or Dillon. I've been getting it done for $35 - $40 a night at Holiday Inn Frisco or Super 8 Dillon. I rode with a guy last year in March that stayed at the aforementioned Hostel in Dillon or Silverthorne. Open as of that recently. Last time I was in Frisco I had no laptop and called about a room that was more than $100 a night. I walked through the lobby and used one of the desktops in the common area to look at priceline. $40 for the same place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecnalubma Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 If the moose jaw is "booked" there's usually similar accomodations at the south park saloon in Alma! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdifan_2003 Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 Ill check it out, I also found the frisco lodge, any feedback on them? Not the cheapest for sure. You get a solid breakfast though. The owner couldn't be more UNfriendly (ex-cop :lol:). Depending for how long you stay, if you are alone or with more people, you could definitely find better that FL deals. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the 5 mtn pas the past couple seasons, but race training is at copper, So i went with that, if it wasnt for the cost of the training I might have gotten both.

ice Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 What used to be the Alpen Hutte is under new management, now called the Riverside Lodge. The lodge has been freshened up and they are trying to cater to larger goups. If not booked, they do offer reasonable nightly rates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
