Overview

What is hotel revenue management consulting in Breckenridge?

Hotel revenue management consulting is an independent review followed by a plan. I look at 12 to 24 months of your own data, shop your comp set, and find where rates, restrictions or channels are costing you money. Unlike outsourcing, I do not make your daily decisions; your team does, with a better plan.

This is my view of Breckenridge. Breckenridge, Steamboat and Telluride are ski towns with strong summers and increasingly strict licence caps. Holiday weeks carry a big share of the year's revenue, and summer festivals, especially in Telluride, create their own peaks. Because licences are limited, each licensed home is valuable. I focus on the top weeks and the mud seasons.

For Colorado ski town owners, I review your licence, how your holiday weeks are priced and how mud season is handled. Then we build a year plan that protects the top weeks, earns properly in summer and keeps the quiet months from dragging down the rest of the year.

The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Breckenridge.

How I price it

My Breckenridge calendar, and what I do in each period

  1. January to mid-MarchHigh

    Steady ski demand fills weekends, so I hold rates, price Martin Luther King Day and Presidents' Day as separate peaks and fill quiet midweek gaps with short stays.

  2. Mid-March to early AprilPeak

    Spring break weeks bring families and college groups, so I price each week by the school calendars that feed the town and keep longer minimums.

  3. Mid-April to MayLow

    Lifts close and mud season begins, so I drop floors, allow two night stays and aim rates at locals, workers and road-tripping couples.

  4. June to SeptemberHigh

    Festivals, hiking and biking lift summer, so I price Telluride's big festivals and Steamboat and Breckenridge event weekends on their own.

  5. October to mid-DecemberLow

    Before the holiday ski season, I keep rates low, accept shorter stays and open Christmas and New Year early with firm rates.

Where I price differently in Breckenridge

Breckenridge
A historic Main Street close to the peaks; I price ski holidays and January events like the snow sculpture championships as their own peaks.
Steamboat Springs
Old Town and the mountain area attract different guests; I price ski-in homes highest in winter and Old Town homes for summer events.
Telluride and Mountain Village
Two connected towns with different rules; I price around the free gondola and the big summer festivals.

What I check first in Breckenridge

  • Which licence the home holds and whether it sits in a zone with a cap or waitlist, because a licence in Breckenridge, Steamboat or Telluride is a scarce asset.
  • How far the home is from a lift, a gondola or a free shuttle stop, since ski guests price that distance before anything else.
  • Whether parking, ski storage and a hot tub are clearly shown, because those features decide which homes win holiday weeks.
