What is a better mountain to go snowboarding, and also just to hang out? Breckenridge or Aspen?|103334

Also if you know of any other good ones in CO, and UT can you let me know please?

If money is not a factor, Aspen is a great choice. Aspen has great skiing options for any level. Plus, Aspen is unique compared to other ski towns in CO because it actually has a 5,000 person year round local population. Therefore it has more character than the other ski towns which are basically cheesy tourist traps. Plus, I_m in my 20s and the nightlife in Aspen is superior to other ski towns. I always have a great time when I go out there.

The skiing sucks at Breckenridge and the town is basically Disney World on ice. Only go there if you_re on a budget.

Steamboat, Telluride and Crested Butte are all quality places to ski with towns that have character. Vail and Copper have good skiing, but the towns feels artificial.

I_ve never been to Aspen but I learned to snowboard at Breckenridge. I didn_t think it was that bad and I went during the end of the season. I don_t know that Breckenridge is really that great of a place to hang out just to hang out but I_ve always regarded Aspen as being really snooty.

Aspen has four mountains to snowboard on. This will give you choices but you will not get bored if you pick one mountain and stick to it for several days. The town of Aspen is pretty big with many choices of restaurants, clubs and stores. The night life is rockin during winter or summer season.

Havent been to aspen, but Breck sucks. Too many flat spots. I ended up walking a lot. Breck is close to Denver though.

I hit Utah this winter for the first time. WAAAAY better then CO! The snow is fantastic, resorts are close to airport, snow is drier, everything is close! Hills are less crowded too. And the runs are overall more challenging.

Where in southern CA can i live near the beach but not spend a fortune?|133693

My fiance and I are going to move to southern CA for his job. We want to live near the beach without spending a fortune. Any ideas?

Long Beach or Huntington would be your best option

In Long Beach, Alamitos Beach is probably the cheapest. But the parking is absolutely the worst, and its not the nicest of areas. Its borderline ghetto, and if you walk just a few short blocks north, you will be in the Ghetto. I only lasted 2 months living there.

I don_t live in CA so I can_t tell you about it being affordable (but I have heard that most of CA is pretty pricey!). My dad lives in RIverside (about 30-45 from the beach and the mountains...ocean front is going to cost you a lot more... and being a half hour away shouldn_t be too bad!

ummm, well where is his job that would be the best starting point....obviously many people want to live near the great beaches...Where does he work or what kind of job does he have...there are many miles and miles of beaches...?

Unfortunately, that is PROBABLY near-impossible.

Housing/rentals that are near the beach are at a premium - and carry a premium price tag.

Ocean Beach in San Diego
Imperial beach

I think I would try for Long Beach or Seal Beach, but it is all expensive.

Oceanside is the cheapest of all Southern California beaches, but it is next to the Marine base!
Long Beach is very diverse, expensive near the water and cheaper as you go inland, ghetto actually...

Depends on what you classify as spending a fortune, because homes in CA cost a lot. Your best chances are with Huntington Beach, Long Beach, Seal Beach, Oceanside and way down south Imperial Beach.

It_s really very simple: It_s all about supply and demand. EVERYBODY wants to live near the beach. But there is only a limited amount of real estate near the beach. Thus, high demand times low supply equals VERY high prices.

Actually, I DID find an inexpensive place about 12 miles from the beach: It_s called Compton. Check out craigslist, I_m sure you can find a great deal.
