When it comes to Spring Break, most people eventually get sick of the sand-packed swimming togs and the "butt itch" sandcastle building causes after a few hours. With that in mind, head on over to the Breckenridge Ski Resort instead of the beaches--you'll be so glad you did! Whether you choose to spend the day on the slopes or in the shops, anywhere you go in Breck will be better than studying and putting up with the consistent nasally drone of nerdy college professors.

Think you'll miss the ridiculous Spring Break contests?  Think again. You can be a part of the Spring Break fun and compete in the Massive Rail Jam. There's prize money offered for each rail.These are insane yet so much fun. This is a rail sliding competition like none you've ever experienced. The proceeds go to Matt Wyfells, a competitive snowboarder who is now, unfortunately, paralyzed.  Your sweet victory (or awesome train wreck) will go toward his therapy needs. There's also a super-pipe competition, which will exhilarate. Try the competitions which let you freestyle ski,or test your skills with the moguls--there are prizes for both the best trick and the worst, so there's still hope for you yet! Another bonus to competing? The cute little ski bunny you have had your eye on will be way more impressed with your skills on the slope than by how much you can puke on TV.

Still working on perfecting your plow?  You can still compete for something; Breck has contests for best and worst outfits. (It's a shame that nerd of a teacher isn't there or he'd win hands down!) There's even a prize for the eldest competitor. Oh well, you didn't REALLY want your mother there did you?

For an exciting and extremely hilarious Spring Break adventure, try the pond skimming. Be prepared to get wet but it's well worth it when you see your ex go butt first into the pond. Anyone can participate and this entails getting up enough speed as you go downhill, to enable you to skim the pond and reach the other side without getting a dunking. Wet bum time, but you will have a laugh a minute  (FYI--take some spare clothes or you'll end up with butt freeze). Many people dress in costumes for this and Batman has nothing on you when you dress up as your college Dean.

Unlucky in dress, moves, and wet bums?  There are still lots of sweet events for you.  The "Spring Break Massive Festival" is going to knock your socks (and maybe your jocks) off! This will be its seventh year and the fun is going to be awesome indeed. With a medley of concerts, nightlife fun, competitions, jams, exhibitions, girls, guys, thrills and tequila spills.There will be a plethora of musical events to delight everyone. The Spring Break festivities will also include food festivals, as well as the tech-demo village. You'll be well and truly entertained by DJ's who will be at the Slope-side stage which I located on Peak 8. There'll also be a host of other music oriented entertainment to enjoy too.

Enter a contest, listen to music, watch people make fools of themselves, and make some awesome (although probably pretty fuzzy) memories from Spring Break in Breck--you will thank me later!

Contests to avoid:  Yellow snow eating, ski pole jousting, gondola hopping.  Don't believe us?  At least you will have a sweet vacation condo to recuperate in, once you book a holiday rental on Zonder.com!  (And, really, avoid the yellow snow.)
