Keep the snow coming!
*12/7/16 Update – We received an additional 6″ of snow last night! That makes our 48 hour total 11″! We have 13 trails and 281 acres of terrain open. Make sure to bundle up, today could be the coldest of the week.
After a brief hiatus, the snow is back. Monday morning the snow began falling and we have received 5 inches in the past 24 hours. This morning the sun showed itself and let us take in all the white that had been laid down. Even a few moose wanted to see how much snow had fallen.

The flurries are forecasted to be back this afternoon. The rest of the week there are chances of snow, but with the snow also comes very cold temperatures. Today and tonight we are in a winter storm watch, please be careful on the roads if traveling to or from Breckenridge. Temperatures are predicted to be at or below the mid-teens for the next couple days, make sure to wear those extra layers!
Last week marked the first contest of the season at Breck, The Hartford Ski Spectacular. Athletes with various disabilities competed in ski, snowboard and monoski races. Personally, this was one of the best events I have watched. The comradery with each other and their passion for the mountains is something we should all aspire to. Even though the event is over if you want to learn about the Hartford Ski Spectacular check here.
The next contest of the season in the Dew Tour which begins on Thursday, Dec 8th and runs through Sunday, Dec 11th. The competition get under way Friday morning with Slopestyle Jump on Freeway Terrain Park followed the Adaptive banked course on Springmeier. There will be plenty of events for the whole family during the Dew Tour from the contest itself to live music. The Transworld Snowboarding Riders Poll and Powder Awards will also be held in conjunction with the Dew Tour for the first time.

Enjoy the powder!
