cheapest place to stay in Summit CO?

[DiveBomber]

just looking for a cheap place to crash on a weeknight so i can get more training in

[Cindy Kleh]

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.

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.

[RDY_2_Carve]

There's a couple places in Leadville that are very reasonable.

Just a 2nd for the Alpine Inn. It's basic but clean, neat, and inexpensive. A short walk to the grocery store too.

Ill check it out, I also found the frisco lodge, any feedback on them?

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.

The Moose Jaw in Frisco has a nice spot under the pool table.

[davekempmeister]

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.

[ecnalubma]

If the moose jaw is "booked" there's usually similar accomodations at the south park saloon in Alma!

Not the cheapest for sure. You get a solid breakfast though. The owner couldn't be more UNfriendly :smashfrea (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!

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.

[LeeW]

Good to save -some- money, yes ? like pay some for the hostel and then pay your doctor to check on your concussion? -smirk-

[tdifan_2003]

Also - check that out :)

King Of The Road Lyrics
Artist(Band):The Clash

Trailers for sale or rent
Rooms to let 50 cents,
No phone, no pool, no pets
I ain’t got no cigarettes

Now two hours of pushing broom
Buys an eight-by-twelve four bit room
I’m a man of means by no means
King of the road

Third box-car midnight train
Destination Bangor, Maine
Old worn out suit and shoes
I don’t pay no union dues

I know every engineer on every train
All of their children and all of their names
And every lock that ain't locked
When no one's around

I smoke old stogies I have found
Short but not too big around
I'm a Man of means by no means
King of the road

[fishrising]

??? youre asking me after i made a factual statement??

Yes, just trying to see what you meant by that comment, factual or not.

[LeeW]

Uhm, Im just telling what I saw at the hostel, with no negative or postitive connotation.

Just to satisfy your curiousity on -MY- opinion of grateful dead -- I used to be a deadhead. :p

[shrederjen]

I will probably regret this, but I also, was and still somewhat am a Deadhead.
Not to thread jack or anything.
Also, I have cheap accomedations up there, if ya have 10 or so people in your group!

[Cindy Kleh]

:lol: Tie dye is making a comeback! Where can I buy the matching speed suit?

Me too.

Head is Dead.

[Cindy Kleh]

What the heck is that supposed to mean? Since when did loving your fellow man and nature become passe? I thought the greed decade of the 90s was over and that today's society is finding new value in volunteering to help less fortunate and to save the environment.

I mean, free love and psychedelics may have gone out with the advent of AIDS and better drugs, but a lot of the Dead's message is even more relevant today than it was 30 years ago.

Sorry to get off subject, but I hate it when greed-and-lust-for-money types make fun of hippies. It's a good thing some of us freaks are still around to say something while the Bush Express preaches that the strength of stocks and the GNP are more important than global warming and the dissappearance of half of the species in this world in the name of a strong economy.

OK, OK. I'll calm down now ... give me some untracked powder and it will all be fine ....

Take another puff Cindy and settle down. That means my head is dead as in me too. Goes back to goofy pre show chatter. "How's your head? My head is dead. If you're head is not dead then you need some more Panama Red."

I am a Deadhead. Love the Dead. Love Jerry. Love Bobby. Love Phil. Love Mickey. Love Pigpen. Heck I even Love Donna, but she had to be sleeping with someone to get on stage 'cause lets be real, she had more heart than pipes. Sorry for totally sexist bull**** comment about Donna, but it's how I feel.

Message still good, when did free love and psychedelics go out of fashion?
I am so out of it.

[carvedog]

BTW sorry for the threadjack DB.

Resort Sports Network ( RSN ) just showed some pretty ripping hard boot carving for one of their transitions.

I'm out, gonna go ride. :biggthump

[Cindy Kleh]

Oh. Ooops. Well, never mind. Gotta go ride .....

[fishrising]

LeeW, I was just curious what you meant, it's tough to read "emotions" or "feelings" in text. When spoken, things are much easier to decipher. I didn't mean to be confrontational. Just trying to get at what you saw in the hostel.

When you said "stuffs" earlier, as in "bunch of grateful dead stuffs all over the place," what is "stuffs?" People? Vandalism? Just not sure what you meant by stuffs.

PS...42 dead shows under my belt, 16 Jerry shows, 6 Phil & Friends, and a couple of Ratdog shows...about 1700 hours on tape/cd/misc lossless audio files/etc. Been out of the scene for a while...hhhhmmm...time to cut some new CDs or add some music to my iPod...

PPS...if you know a Sheree Clarke, used to live in the Silverthorne area, tell her Ben (the tall guy) from CT, said "Hi." I lost touch with her a while back...

great rant, Cindy.:biggthump
I'm surprised there aren't more dead heads into carving. Met plenny hippys on hippystix telemarkin', which is another pure form of the snow slidin', but only a few true GD fans in hard boots.I never considered myself a real Dead Head because I never "went on tour" and only saw shows her in the NE but I've got a ton of great stories about shows here in Boston at the old Garden, MSG in NYC and those Highgate shows in Vt. The only thing I can compare dead shows to is Carnaval in Brasil. Just a ton of chill people dancin' in the streets, feelin' the love and being kind. I really miss that vibe. it was awesome:rolleyes:
