Colorado Pass. Oh, and I am not rich. If I was I would be buying one of those 1705 sq. ft. 2 bedroom 3 bath Ritz Carlton Residences for $3.8 million.

I take 8-12 weeks of vacation a year (4-6 weeks skiing at Vail/Breck). Working while on vacation affords me that luxury. It's no different than working from home (my office) except the ski slopes, dive sites, etc. are right out the door.

I book paid stays when I find good rates, try to use points otherwise. The last few years have worked well. All I can find so far for next year is stay anytime, bummer.
