Celebrate the Snow at Ullr Fest | December 2019
Each year, locals and visitors alike flock to Breckenridge to enjoy the snow and the slopes. As a thank you to mother nature for delivering the white stuff, Breckenridge throws the biggest party this side of the Continental Divide. Honoring Ullr, the Norse God of snow and ski, thousands celebrate by raising a glass, showing off their creativity, and then lighting the Christmas tree (although maybe not how you think.)
Kick-off the party by registering to participate in the World’s Longest Shotski Record-Breaking Attempt. What’s a ‘shotski’? Long a staple in ski houses, a shotski is created by attaching several shot glasses to a retired ski. With a participant at each shot glass, the shot ski must be ‘shot’ together or risk spilling the contents in the glass. Help set the record – 1,300 shot glasses strong! – by registering to be a part of it. $10 ticket goes to Breckenridge Mountain Rotary.

Kid-Friendly Summit County | November 2019
Summit County is known as ‘Colorado’s Playground’ – and that includes all ages! You can spend time in Summit County with (or without) the kids both on and off the slopes.
Frisco Adventure Park offers fun for the whole family, including a multi-lane tubing hill with a surface lift to get as many runs in as possible. The park also features a beginner’s ski and ride hill that is budget-friendly and offers lessons for first-timers. Looking for more of a workout? cross-country skiers and snowshoers can explore over 16 miles of scenic trails. The best way to end a day at the Frisco Adventure Park and Nordic Center is a horse-drawn sleigh ride through the winter wonderland!
Fall in Love with Breckenridge | September 2019
Those that know Breckenridge know that although winter maybe it’s most popular season, there is really no bad time to visit - and that includes fall. With fewer crowds, cooler temperatures, and the aspen groves turning to gold, fall is the perfect time to explore Breckenridge and beyond.
One of the best ways to take in the vibrant golden aspen trees and scenic views of Breckenridge is by car. Boreas Pass offers sweeping views of Summit County while it meanders along the Continental Divide. Suitable for low-clearance, 2WD vehicles, the dirt road summits at 11,481 feet above sea level. Originally a historic railway, the route connected Breckenridge to Como with the nation’s highest narrow-gauge railroad. Take your time on this route - there are plenty of pull-offs for photos, hiking, and Colorado history!
If you prefer to stay closer to town, the loop around Lake Dillon offers views of the Lake Dillon, the Ten Mile Range and more. Starting from Breckenridge, take Highway 9 North before making a right onto Swan Mountain Road. Stretch your legs at the half-mile hike to Sapphire Point before continuing on to the towns of Dillon and Silverthorne.
