I'm in Breckenridge right now, and although lodging may be down, trying to to eat a meal at a restaurant is extremely frustrating. Most of the more casual places are not taking reservations, just show up at get on the list. Some are doing call-ahead, but many are not.
On Saturday night, we tried to eat at Breckenridge Brewery. We did call-ahead at 5pm to get on the list, and they estimated a 1.5 hour wait. At 6:45, we hadn't gotten a text yet so we went in person to check -- was told it would be another 30 minutes and we were "8th on the list". At 7:30, still no text so we checked in person again. Guess what? We were told we were "8th on the list"! She had no explanation as to how, in 45 minutes, we didn't move up on the list at all. We bailed, went to the grocery store, picked up a rotisserie chicken and some sides and at back at the condo. At 8:30, we got a text our table was ready. Grrr.
This town is not set up for these restrictions. I realize they are doing their best, but the number of people combined with the restrictions make for a very poor experience, IMO. And the skiing is mediocre at best, due to the lack of snow. But as they say, a bad day skiing beats a good day at work!
