Comments on the River Mountain Lodge

We thoroughly enjoyed our vacation last week and rest assured you will hear from us again. 
1)  The accommodations were perfect for what we were looking for as a family.  Loved the location at the end of 4 O Clock run and convenience getting to the gondola.
2)  The skiing was awesome!  I believe we received 20" or so while we were there!  TBar was an awesome place to relax, eat and drink while the kids out skied/boarded us old folks.
3)  Restaurants in the area were good for the most part. Michael's Italian Restaurant was delicious, Motherloaded Tavern was good and fun, Denzaemon Cafe was perfect after a day of skiing but Jalapeños was horrible.  We noticed Jalapeños fliers in the lodge and other places but the food and service was not to write home about.  While we were waiting for the 'food' our daughter was posting a review on a website.  We were tempted to get up and walk out but refrained.  I am truly amazed that this would be a restaurant in Breck that one would want to advertise.  Think twice before recommending it to anyone. :)
4)  Excellent car rental at Hertz with the exception of the ski/board rack.  It did not lock and ended up cramming the boards into the Chevy Traverse with the luggage for our trip to and from Boulder and Breckenridge.
