**1. Rain**. If you open both Falcon Doors in a heavy rain, the water from the roof will drain directly into the cabin, drenching your seats and your kids.

**2. Snow and cold weather**. On a real cold night, front doors will freeze and simply will not open until you unfreeze the car. The car is also really heavy, so without studded tires it tends to slip on steep icy hills. Lastly, energy usage goes through the roof in the subzero weather.

**3. Middle schoolers**. They like to gawk at the Falcon Doors, which is very annoying.

**4. Tesla tax**. Landlords, realtors, and sales people will increase their price just for you, upon seeing the car.

**5. You like gas stations.** Teslas mostly charge up at home and Supercharge on the road. You don't actually need gas stations.

**6. Scratches and bumps**. Fixing them will cost as much as another car. Don't ask how we know.

**7. You value your time and enjoy traveling**. Road trips take longer as supercharging takes a lot longer than fueling up. You are also tied to select routes that offer charging, and run a non-zero chance of getting stranded.

**8. You prefer not buying an extended warranty.** Fixes after warranty cost yet more cars.

**9. Road noize.** It is remarkably loud inside this car, for the $$$$ it costs.

**10. Speakers for the back**. They don't exist.

**11. You need real 3rd row seats**. They are more like mini seats, which work for your kids' friends, but do not offer any leg room for the adults.

**12. You want a roof rack**. Hahaha, you can't !

**13. You must always have the latest iPhone**. You will feel so outdated whenever a new and updated model of Tesla gets released.

**14. Last, but not least**.  If you want to be able to drive other cars, you definitely should not get a Model X. Every gas car will feel like a poorly designed antique lawn mower.

Why Offsite in Breckenridge is a Game-Changer


_by Kirill Zubovsky_

Down market is a perfect opportunity to lock in a great deal on an office space, but how? Simply saying that you want to pay less is not going to get you anywhere, in most cases. Landlords are not renting space as a charity, but they are understanding. What you need to do is offer a way in which you get a discount, and landlords get a deal. When it comes to coworking spaces, the best win-win is to offer a long-term commitment. 

Managing tenants that leave every few months incurs cleaning and sales costs, among other headaches. Knowing that someone wants to stay with you for six months, a year, or even longer, is a sure way to save money. It will make me happy having you here long term, and it will give you a break.

How much of a discount should you ask for? If you go to WeWork and ask for a price cut on a 12 months lease, they might not care. The salary of the person you talk to at a big commercial space is probably not hinged on the leases they sign, at least not directly. Maybe you get a bone if you catch them on a good day, but there are no guarantees.

Meanwhile, a smaller player, a mom-and-pop business, we have a constant pulse on our finances, and if you offer to rent an empty space today at a discount, we understand that is a much better deal than to wait around and see who might pay a full price tomorrow. Let’s say a small 3-people office space costs $1665 a month, that’s almost $20k a year. If the office sits empty for the next 3 months, I stand to lose $5k. Theoretically, if you sign a 12 month commitment, I can give you a discount somewhere between zero and 5k. We will probably meet somewhere in the middle.

If the above does not work, or you can’t find a suitable coworking space in your area, I would suggest getting creative and looking for other underutilized spaces. 

Coffee shops, for example, sometimes have community meeting rooms. Those spaces sit unused for 6 days a week. If you offer them money, they will take it, but just like above, you have to find the right person to talk to. If you propose a deal to the barista, they might not have the right frame of understanding to see what you are trying to achieve. Find the manager, meet the owner, and then when you know you’re pitching to the decision maker, make your move.

Lastly, if all fails, see if you can recruit some friends. While a small team can only afford a small space, as you get more friends together, you could be looking at a much bigger space that will cost you less, and especially right now. With the return to office not happening as expected, and on top of that with companies doing layoffs, large commercial spaces will end up sitting empty. It might cost you $20k/ year for an office that will fit 3, and $200k / year for an office that fits 100. In that case, do a little bit of research, and find yourself more people.

All things considered, now is a great time to find your new office. The economy is slowing down, there's a lot of uncertainty, many offices are sitting empty, and you have the power to find your new space. Don’t miss the opportunity, it won’t last forever. Business owners understand that life is not all black and white, but it is on you to start a conversation. Start now.


Private Office at Breckworks Coworking Space, Breckenridge, Colorado

In the downturn businesses seeking office space have the advantage and should actively negotiate for discounts. For the best deals, consider long-term commitments with smaller coworking businesses, or explore underutilized spaces like community rooms in local coffee shops.

While Breckenridge is a fantastic place to ski and snowboard in the winter and hike and fish in the summer, it does not immediately strike like a place to do horseback riding. In fact, horseback riding is in general not a typical activity for most people, so it might feel strange, and intimidating, but as it turns out, it could be so much fun!

Breck has Breckenridge stables, located at the Peak 9 area of the mountain. It is close to the resort,  easy to book, and you will be guided on horses through the nearby trails. If you are in a pinch for time, it is definitely a neat way to get on a horse and stroll through the woods.

However, if you have a vehicle to get there, and a whole day to enjoy the outing, we think Platte Ranch in South Park, Colorado is a fantastic play to ride a hourse with your friends and loved ones.

The ranch is huge, and a trip out-and-back can take around three hours, during which time you travers through the woods, climb up a hill, and get to "go fast" on a plato above you. The views are simply stanning! Mike and Tiger, the cowboys running the show, are great humans, and will care for your party, adn entertain you while out and about. They run a tight ship, and the horses love, respect and obey them.

If you head out that way, don't forget to pack plenty of sunscreen, a tight hat that won't fly off in a gust of a wind, pants, comfortable shoes, and perhaps a jacket in case it rains. Please treat your horses with kindness, and don't forget to tip, after all that's how the cowboys get paid.

Crepe a la Carte has been a beloved tourist favorite in Breckenridge for many years. Famous for its scrumptious crepes made in a kitchen the size of a small pickup truck, this crepe stand has won the hearts of countless food lovers. However, with its delectable offerings comes a notorious downside: the long line. Many locals have yet to experience these crepes due to the seemingly never-ending queue. So, how can you savor these mouthwatering delights without the wait? The answer lies in their new location in downtown Silverthorne, inside the Blue Bird Market.

The new Crepe a la Carte location in Silverthorne boasts a spacious setting with several notable upgrades. The kitchen is significantly larger, enabling the staff to cook three or more crepes simultaneously. This translates to shorter waiting times and more satisfied customers. To enhance your experience, the Silverthorne location also features a comfortable sitting and waiting area, perfect for relaxing while your crepe is being prepared. And, as an added bonus, the Blue Bird Market comes with a parking garage, making it easy for you to park and explore the market while waiting for your crepe. You can get a coffee, a drink, or an ice cream while waiting for your delicious crepe to be ready. It's a pretty great perk!


While the drive from Breckenridge to Silverthorne takes approximately 30 minutes one way, it's a worthwhile investment for those looking to avoid the long lines on Main Street. The convenience of free parking and the promise of a quicker, more enjoyable crepe experience make the short trip down to Silverthorne a no-brainer. Besides, if you do it on your day off skiing or hiking, it is a perfect opportunity to discover new local businesses and enjoy a leisurely day out in Silverthorne. Get some food, and walk along the river. It's a trip!

Are you a gluten free eater that hasn’t tasted a pizza in years? Piantes is a pizza for you! 

Their pizza tastes so good, you will actually feel like eating a real pizza, and not a typical gluten free cardboard knockoff that is sold in the frozen isles of grocery stores. 

Everything in Piantes is vegan, meaning there are no meats and no cheeses, in a traditional sense. If you are used to eating substitute products, you will feel right at home. If you are however new to imitation meats, which are made out of tofu and mushrooms, or imitation cheese, you will actually be very pleasantly surprised by how close to “real” taste everything is.

Of course, if gluten free is not a concern for you, they also have normal crust, and delicious garlic knots, deserts, and drinks to choose from.

Living at 10,000 feet is no simple feat. For many people visiting Breckenridge on vacation, the altitude can be a shock to their system. Symptoms such as light-headedness, difficulty climbing stairs, extreme thirst, upset stomach, headaches, insomnia, and general fatigue are not uncommon. However, don't let that deter you from coming to Breckenridge!

With the right approach, you can adjust to the altitude and have a fabulous time vacationing in Breck. While we are not medical professionals and this is not medical advice, here are some tips that have helped friends and visitors enjoy successful trips to Breckenridge.

### 1. Gradual Acclimatization

If possible, don't head to Breckenridge directly from the airport. Particularly if you're coming from sea level, it's a good idea to spend a few days in Denver, which sits at 5,280 feet. This will give your body a chance to acclimate to the higher altitude without putting it into overdrive. If Denver is not your city of choice, then at least try Frisco or Silverthorne. They are only 15-30 minutes away from Breckenridge, but even that little change in altitude can make a huge difference for your well being. Think of it like climbers acclimating at Everest Base Camp before attempting the summit.

### 2. Hydration is Key

Drink plenty of water upon arrival in Breckenridge. The high altitude and intense sun can quickly lead to dehydration, while you're busy enjoying various activities. Dehydration can exacerbate altitude sickness, so carry a water bottle and sip on it throughout the day to stay hydrated.

### 3. Take It Easy

For the first few days, treat yourself as if you're recovering from a cold. Avoid overexertion, and instead, explore the town at a leisurely pace. Consider abstaining from alcohol during this time, as it can worsen the effects of altitude sickness. Walk instead of running, and prioritize rest when you're feeling tired. While it might seem counterintuitive to take it slow on vacation, allowing your body to adjust will help ensure you can enjoy all that Breckenridge has to offer.

In summary, adjusting to the altitude in Breckenridge may take some time, but with proper preparation and a mindful approach, you can have an amazing vacation experience. Remember to acclimate gradually if possible, stay hydrated, and take it easy for the first few days. Your body will thank you, and you'll be well on your way to enjoying everything this beautiful mountain town has to offer.

They have everything. Simple chocolate chip and peanut butter, sophisticated sandwich cookies filled with cremes you have never even heard of, or delicious gluten free and vegan snacks, there is something here for everyone. All cookies are made fresh in the store, every morning, from scratch.

The Best Cookies in Breckenridge?


A couple of years ago, we had a tenant, a diligent guy who showed up to work 4-5 days every week, grinding away at his work. It was probably not the most rewarding work in the world, but he was there for it like a clock. Dedication! However, since his rent hadn't gone up in years, when rent increase finally happened, he did not want to swing it. He was anchored to the old price, rather than what the new price offered him. So he moved out, landing in an office space 15 minutes down the road.

Sounds like a win, right? Not quite. Now, he was driving an extra 30 minutes every day. Over 300 working days, that is 150 hours a year. If his time was worth $100 an hour and for a lot of folks, it is more than that, that accounts for $15,000 spent just commuting. Funny thing? That is more than what the rent increase would have cost him. On top of that, we are located closer to the town, near a few hiking trails, and a beatiful river. Not only is Breckworks great for work, we are pretty good for your time off too. It got us thinking.

People obsess over dollar signs but forget that money really buys time. This guy could have stayed put, saved those hours, and maybe enjoyed a few more coffee breaks instead of traffic jams. And here is the kicker — as we get older, time is the one thing we cannot get back. At Breckworks co-working space, we are not just offering desks. We are giving you time to work smarter, not harder. Because at the end of the day, isn't it that what matters most?

Vacations are a time to relax, explore new destinations, and create unforgettable memories. However, dental problems can sometimes unexpectedly arise and put a damper on your plans. In this blog post, we will discuss the top 5 dental problems people experience on vacation and provide tips on how to prevent them, ensuring that your trip remains as enjoyable and hassle-free as possible. By the way, we are not your doctor. We just read some stuff on the internet. Don't take this as a medical advice.

If you are reading this because you are having a dental emergency in Breckenridge, you will find all the answers in our post [Emergency Dentist in Breckenridge](https://breckworks.com/local-guide/emergency-dentist-breckenridge). Please hang up the phone and go see Dr. Faktor.

### Toothache
Toothaches are a common dental issue that can be caused by various factors, such as tooth decay, an abscess, a cracked tooth, or gum disease. Sudden changes in pressure from air travel, or high altitudes can also trigger toothaches. It is essential to maintain good oral hygiene and schedule regular dental checkups to prevent toothaches from spoiling your vacation.

### Lost or broken dental work
Losing or breaking dental work, such as a filling, crown, or veneer, can be quite painful and inconvenient during your vacation. To minimize the risk of damaging your dental work, avoid chewing hard foods, using your teeth as tools, or grinding your teeth.

## Chipped or broken tooth 
Accidents and injuries can lead to chipped or broken teeth, especially during adventurous or physically demanding vacations. To prevent such incidents, use mouthguards while participating in high-impact sports or activities, and be cautious when eating hard or crunchy foods.

### Gum irritation or bleeding
Changes in your oral care routine or diet while on vacation can result in gum irritation or bleeding. Periodontal issues, such as gingivitis, can also contribute to gum problems. To maintain healthy gums, stick to your regular oral care routine, brush and floss regularly, and avoid excessive consumption of sugary or acidic foods.

### Dry mouth

Traveling can sometimes cause dehydration, which can lead to dry mouth. Dry mouth can increase the risk of tooth decay and gum disease due to a lack of saliva, which helps to neutralize acids and wash away food particles. To prevent dry mouth, drink plenty of water throughout the day, chew sugar-free gum or suck on sugar-free candies to stimulate saliva production, and avoid excessive consumption of caffeine and alcohol.

Dental emergencies, such as a knocked-out tooth or severe toothache, can occur at any time, even while on vacation. To be prepared for such situations, carry a dental first aid kit with you and know the location of the nearest dental clinic or emergency room in your travel destination.

To minimize the risk of dental problems during your vacation, maintain good oral hygiene, schedule a dental checkup before you leave, and be prepared for emergencies by knowing the local dental resources at your destination. By taking these precautions, you can ensure that your vacation remains enjoyable and free from dental issues, allowing you to focus on creating unforgettable memories.

In a world where [remote work](https://breckworks.com/local-guide/working-from-home-breckenridge) has become the norm, co-working spaces have surged in popularity, offering a hybrid model of work-life balance.  Here at [Breckworks](https://breckworks.com) we have a seen a lot of interest from remote employees coming to live and vacation in Breckenridge. Some visit for just a few days, while many stay for months at a time. But while WeWork, once a trailblazer in the co-working space industry, has become a familiar name to many, its recent filing for bankruptcy marks a significant turning point in the industry.

Amidst their downfall, local alternatives finally have a chance to emerge not just as a last-minute option for travelers, but as a stronger contender, providing a more sustainable and community-focused approach to shared office spaces. At Breckworks, a local shared office alternative, we hope to stand out as a prime example of this shift.

Located in the heart of the city, Breckworks offers a warm and inviting atmosphere, tailored to meet the needs of freelancers, entrepreneurs, and small businesses. Unlike WeWork's one-size-fits-all approach, we emphasize customization and flexibility, allowing members to personalize their workspace experience. Just look at how many different options [we offer](https://breckworks.com/signup), be that for a few hours or a whole months; and those don't even include all the offices we have for the long-term tenants.

By maintaining a lean operational model and focusing on steady, organic growth, at Breckworks we ensure long-term viability and trust among our users, while providing a space that delights you on every single visit. While WeWork grapples with their challenges, we hope that smaller, community-focused spaces, like this one, will take a leap forward to redefine the future of shared workspaces.

As the way we work continues to evolve, from fully in office, to fully remote, to now a pleasant mix of the two, so too will the spaces in which we choose to work. With local alternatives leading the way, we hope that visitors will start to plan their trips around their ability to work while enjoying the great outdoors.

If you want to learn more about us, please take a look at [Breckworks on Google Maps](https://maps.app.goo.gl/mGL5XhuGVPG53xCU7) for more photos, videos and reviews. Whatever happens to WeWork, we hope to see you in our space very soon!

We Work is a familiar to many co working space which has recently filed for bankrupcy. Breckworks is your local shared office alternative.

Gone are the days when working from home was considered a taboo subject, reserved for extreme circumstances like broken legs and sick children. Millions of people are now able to work remotely from anywhere, be that a condo in the city, a beach-front house, a campsite, or your favorite condo/house/townhouse in the mountains near Breckenridge!
 
Working from home brings so many advantages: fresh air, silence, wildlife, no pesky commute, and plenty of time to explore. You can get fit, and get happy. Kids can go to camps, learn to ski, play in the river, all while parents get to focus on working, doing more for their employers, and more for their loved ones at the same time.
 
Of course, with great opportunities come some challenges. If you have a small condo, or slow internet, not enough natural light, short ceilings or uncomfortable furniture, working at home can get much harder. Add to that lack of social interaction for the whole day, talkative friends and family, or hyperactive children, barking dogs, and now home starts to sound more daunting than before.
 
And that is where a coworking space like Breckworks can shine! It is a safe, cozy, bright space, designed specifically for remote workers to come together and to turn their productivity to the max. With lots of space, natural light, private offices for Zoom meetings, super fast gigabit internet run on state-of-the-art modern technology, and of course a community of like minded peers, Breckworks is a place to shine! Never again will you have to Google "Wifi near me" while desperately trying to support a customer, do a sales call, or give a key presentation. The answer is simple - Breckworks.
 
Breckworks coworking is located less than a mile outside of town, comes with plenty of parking spaces, as well as the free Airport lot right behind the building. You can bike, walk, take bus, or drive there, and then be right back in the heart of Breckenridge in just a few minutes. And if you don't want to venture out too far during the work day, get your food delivered, and head outside to the nearby river to bask in the sun, relax, and maybe even catch some fish.
 
If you are looking to spend more time in Breckenridge and need a comfortable place to work with great internet and a fantastic community of locals and guests, Breckworks might just be the place for you.
