Come out for 10 Barrel’s Snow Beach party on Saturday, March 23rd.  From Nashville, TN, Moon Taxi brings a mix of rock and pop with an upbeat outlook and a get-up-and-move spirit.

Moonlight Dine & Ski is for you night owls and city folk who eat dinner into the wee hours of the night- like 7:15 pm.  It all starts at 5 pm… you’ll meet the group, ride the gondola to the tippy-top, ski or board down to mid-mountain and have dinner at the Solitude Station (accompanied by live music from Beau Thomas- a Colorado native), then ride the rest of the way down via ski’s, snow board, or gondola.

Stay at nearby Alpine Inn in Frisco– within a 15-minute drive of Copper Mountain Ski Resort and 11.5 miles from Breckenridge Ski Resort.  Here are a few reasons to check in…

• refrigerators and flat-screen televisions
• Complimentary wireless Internet cable
• indoor pool, a spa tub, and a fitness center
• fireplace in the lobby, and a picnic area
• complimentary continental breakfast
• 24-hour front desk

  * Enjoy your stay in Summit County- where it may never stop snowing.  Let us take care of your ride from and to the Denver airport -safely and stress free.  Call our phone agents– it’s free- at 970-668-6000.  They know all the ins and outs of mountain travel and have great tips for where to ski, eat and sleep.

Copper Uncorked Saturday March 16th

at Burning Stones Plaza Center Village, in Copper Mountain

From 2pm – 5pm savor wine & wing samples prepared by Copper’s talented Chefs. (there’s Honest Tea pairings for those who don’t drink wine).

Afterward take time to digest the smoke-fired sounds of Anderson East from 3:30pm – 5pm.

The cost is $25 to $35 per guest.  A good deal considering I pay at least $20 for a plate of wings and 1 glass of wine.

Check out the details here.  “$5 of every ticket sold will be donated to Gift of Adoption Fund, Colorado Chapter.”

If you’ve never been to the Special Olympics here’s your chance.   It’s such a great way to spend time with your family.  It’s inspiring. You’ll enjoy the passion and skill these athletes bring to the table.

I’ve noticed some trends while booking our guests rides to and from Breckenridge.  There are lodges that keep people coming back; among them are three that offer that extra comfort, style and convenience.

Marriots Mountain Valley Lodge–  The amenities here make this an exceptional place to hunker down.  Wi-Fi of course, super plush beds, balconies and full kitchens make you feel at home while you’re away.  Seperate spaces for living, dining and snoozing give you enough privacy to enjoy some alone time should you need it.

 

The Lodge at Breckenridge– Here it’s all about the view! Situated just over 10,000 feet gives you spectacular vistas of Boreas Pass, Breckenridge Ski Resort, and Tenmile Range.  The rooms are rustic and elegant, with plenty of space to entertain or just relax in style.

 

Village at Breckenridge– Ski-in/Ski-out is the ultimate amenity in Breckenridge!  The rental shop is right at hand and so is ski school for anyone who may need it.  Here it’s all about location, location, vacation!
