WHave flights booked into DEN the day after Christmas for 4 nights with 2 teen daughters, but not planning to ski. Primarily want to snowmobile, tube and shop in a scenic downtown.

We can stay anywhere within 1-2 hours and can hop around as we wont be locked into any one resort or locale.

Interested in some really good snowmobile locations...1/2 or full day maybe with lunch or cocoa, good fun tubing (copper mountain?) and scenic downtown mainstreet with holiday theme for shopping sitting by fire etc.

Again, idea was to hop around and stay at some different towns resorts or hotels, but wont rule out a AirBnB centrally located.

Hit me with recommendations or even an itinerary. arrive 2pm sat, leave 3pm wed TIA

Some ideas we had:
Grand Lake, continental divide
Breckenridge, vail, aspen
winter park, frisco

Only there 4 nights. How many different towns did you want to stay in?

If you want a nice town atmosphere then Breckenridge might be your choice to stay. You can take a day trip to Vail and/or Keystone if you wanted. That area has everything you want in a 2 hour drive along the interstate from Denver airport. Good food. Good people. You could enjoy the Blue River area a few miles south for some amazing views as well.

I just came to say with 4 days, I'd definitely recommend just picking one home base and sticking to that area as much as possible. Denver is a huge area, the airport is way out especially due to traffic, and then add in winter driving and you could really log a lot of car time to not travel very far distance wise.
