The Broadmoor in Colorado Springs just finished $100 million in renovations that include two new restaurants—Ristorante Del Lago and Natural Epicurean—and 31 new guest rooms.
Breckenridge adds lift-assisted hiking and mountain biking (or just scenic chair rides for the less endorphin-obsessed) on Peak 7 this summer, via the Independence SuperChair.
