Jennings and his friends kicked off their ritzy ski trip last week, after they flew from LaGuardia Airport to the picturesque destination of Aspen. 

They arrived at a charming two-story cabin nestled in the heart of the small ski town, featuring a quaint backyard and a hot tub.  

During the day, the friends hit the slopes, sharing videos of themselves carving through the powder in stylish ski gear.

The nights were filled with beats and vibrant lights as they danced, cheered and joined drinking games using a shot ski.

After the extravagant winter getaway, the group found themselves on a trip dubbed the 'broke b**ch journey' by Jennings. 

Along posting a video of them embarking on the 52-hour train journey, he wrote: 'You spent every penny in Aspen and now your only way home is the Amtrak. Follow along our Broke B**ch journey back to NYC.' 

He later explained to followers that a one-way flight ticket from Aspen to New York City costs more than $1,000, while the train journey only set them back $85. 

The train surpassed their expectations as they were seated right by the train's huge, panoramic windows extending to the top. 

The friends were gifted an unobstructed view of Colorado's unique landscape and tree branches laden with snow.
