If you have transportation from Denver, or Boulder, rent your shit off the mountain. If you're staying on the mountain, just rent it all there. It'll be more convenient either way.

There are about 1000 breweries between Denver, Boulder and between; I've only been to 6-700... LOL

You're best bet is to find a good bar with them all on tap, not the Yard House. Try Colorado+ or a dozen more tap houses like Falling rock or Fresh Craft in downtown Denver.

No resort area is going to be affordable, but AirBNB or VRBO are good options for large groups. The lift tickets are also expensive, except Loveland and Eldora.

Any way, HMU with some more question. I live about 15 blocks North of Downtown.
