As you probably know by now, A-Basin and Loveland are already open for skiing.  An early October storm blessed the mountains with a good base.  Let’s hope this winter brings more and better snow than last year!  Another exciting ski season begins in Breckenridge on November 9, 2018 when that resort opens for the 2018/19 season.  Every new season brings new opportunities, whether for perfecting skills on the hill or finding that perfect ski bum or girl.  Breckenridge town and resort offer a few fun ways to kick of the winter sports season.

First, while supplies last, Breckenridge Ski Resort will hand out FREE commemorative coffee mugs and will buy you a free cup of coffee to get you and the town ready for ski season.  This “Wake up Breck” effort is the resort’s way of giving early thanks to the community for hospitality to guests all season long.

Next, an all new event at Breck sponsored by Mtn Dew, on mountain activations and a new concert add some winter energy with a full day of contagious fun.  On November 17, 2018, Olympians Red Gerard and Julia Marino will be on the mountain to meet and greet guests.  Fun fact:  snowboarder Red Gerard his own trick park at his house in Silverthorne!  A concert featuring Gramatik and other artists will dazzle the town later that night, live from the South Gondola Lot.  (Another fun fact:  Denis Jašarević, known by his stage name Gramatik, is originally from Portorož, Slovenia.) Guests will also be able to catch a new full length documentary, Above Treeline.
