The New York Times has compiled a list of “31 Places To Go In 2010.” These aren’t weekend jaunts. Instead, they are adventures in far-flung places: Sri Lanka, Seoul, Mysore (India), Koh Kood (Thailand), Damascus, Antarctica.
And there, on the list between South Africa and Montenegro is No. 23: Breckenridge.
The Times writer chose Breck partly because of its recent passage of an ordinance to decriminalize possessions of small amounts of marijuana, calling Breck “the party capital of the Colorado Rockies” and saying the town was striving to be Amsterdam. It also points world travelers to Breck for the BreckConnect Gondola and the improvements to Peak 7 and Peak 8.
