Kick Push: A Roll in Movie Night

Catch the outdoor feature at the Riverwalk Center lawn in Breckenridge today 8/14 at 8:30 PM.   Kick Push: A Roll in Movie Night is aptly named for at least 2 reasons; first, it’s a film about wheels and the inspiring people who push their limits.  Second, the movie is showing in the park and the best way to get there is ON WHEELZ 😉 .   BreckFilmFest is teaming up with Breckenridge International Festival of Arts /BIFA to get this show to you FREE of charge!  You can thank them by visiting their websites and seeing what else they have going on and how you may contribute.

If you’re not already hooked up with manual transportation get over to Alpine Sports and rent some.  There are great summer rental discounts so no need to buy new.  But, if buying new makes better sense for you hit up Sun & Ski in Dillon.  Summit county is an ideal place for a bike or skateboard; these small mountain towns are close to each other and the trails that wind throughout are amazing!  Most of our main roads have a bike lane reserved for you.  I could go on and on about the bike trails but it’ll be better for you to just get on ’em.  Click here for lots of trail maps and other helpful info.

Silverthorne’s Rainbow Park has a great skate park, so does Frisco.  Copper Mountain boasts the only indoor skate park.  Breckenridge has the first one laid down in Summit.

Well, layer up ladies and gents cuz it’s chilly after the sun sets.  Cozy up with friends, family and perfect strangers for an exciting look into the world of wheels (sans motor).

Here are several reasons to take part in this year’s art show.

  • Danish artist Thomas Dambo’s loveable troll will be hanging out on a Breck trail waiting for friendly passers-by to say hello.
  • The Vijay Iyer Trio is a award winning jazz band playing at the Riverwalk Center in Breckenridge on August 9th at 8 pm.
  • Tree-O is a 3 person band that plays while perched in the birch.  See when they play here.
  • Concrete Jams showcases skateboarding to jazz.  Bring your nieces and nephews- you’ll have something to talk about for months… “Remember that rad jazz skater?!”
  • A Cirque de Soleil style show by the Australian ensemble “Gravity & Other Myths” – A Simple Space.  These bendy acrobats push the limits of the body in a beautiful show of strength and artistry.

Keystone is a great place for family fun in the summer months!  Spend some time on the water – sailing, river rafting, or fly fishing.  Walk onto a scenic golf course or one of many hiking or biking trails.  Do something out of the ordinary- ride horse back, rent jet skis, catch a play in nearby Dillon and Silverthorne.

Definitely hit up the local eateries and enjoy fantastic food and friendly service.  My favorite place for wings- Cala Pub & Restaurant.  Click here for their menu and to take a look inside.  Then treat yourself to a spa day after all that activity!

Summit County Mountain Retreats offers to beat pricing (by 10%) on comparable properties.  They offer all the amenities and lots of extras think air mattresses, pack-n-plays, wine and even oxygen!  Check out the discounts that are offered here.  Their website has an interactive map so you can see where you’ll stay in relation to the gondola, lifts and other attractions.  We are happy to partner with them!

 

Concert in the Park? Yes please!

by

Every THURSDAY in Frisco…

Check it out! Free outdoor concert at the Frisco Historic Park gazebo at 120 Main Street. Enjoy the sounds and sites of summer from 5:30 pm – 7:30 pm through August 16th.    This Thursday Jared & The Mill  from Phoenix AZ will be waxing melodic in an Indie rock accent.

Next Thursday the Chris Duarte Group will deliver hard hitting blues rhythms. Same place, same hours.

Frisco has great bike paths and is a good place to hoof it.  So, leave the car behind or park a safe distance away and enjoy the sites as you walk down Main Street.  The park itself is surrounded with tiny museums, a tee pee, and a lot of local charm.  Come downtown for a late lunch then shop Frisco’s gems.

  • GatherHouse is a glass blowing studio and gallery on the corner of Main St and 2nd Ave.  Buy earrings, a vase, or light fixtures; better yet, schedule a time to make your own custom drinking glasses.   Don’t be intimidated by the process- John will help you each step of the way for a safe and unforgettable experience.
  • On the same corner sit the popular consignment shops, Funky Trunk Boutique and Rags to Riches.  Alpine Accents Consignments is just across the street, on the corner of 1st Ave.

  • There are 3 eateries within throwing distance of the park- Lost Cajun, Moose Jaw, and the Log Cabin Cafe.  The Lost Cajun is the place to go for fried seafood, po-boys, and jumbalaya.  Moose Jaw boasts the best burgers in Frisco.  The Log Cabin Cafe is a breakfast and lunch joint with phenomenal biscuits and jam (be aware they close at 2:30 pm daily).

So much to enjoy, so little time.  Just come back next Thursday to hit up whatever you missed.  Remember to bring your own blanket or chair, a sun hat and water.  Hope to see you there!

 

 

Vacation Rentals for all seasons, and preferences

by

Tailor your vacation to suit your desire.

Each vacation has a different set of needs and preferred amenities.  The simplest way to plan is with the help of a vacation rental professional.  Use their knowledge and expertise to your advantage- they are happy to help!  Here are some things to consider before you call…

  • What dates are you booking?  Do you need to book well ahead of time? (Yes! If you’re skiing during peak ski season.)  Book your landing and take off times at Denver airport between 9:30 AM and 8:30 PM to ensure you can use a mountain shuttle. Keep in mind it can take 2 1/2 hours to travel between DNV and the high Rockies.
  • What town suits you? Bustling Breckenridge, high end Aspen, economic Silverthorne, community minded Frisco, or quaint Copper Mountain?
  • How will you get there safely?  May I suggest a Summit Express shuttle or private charter? Remember to book your departure well ahead because shuttles sell out in peak seasons.

White Cloud Home #487

River Mountain Lodge #E117

  • Where do you want to land between runs and meals?  A Ski-In Ski-Out condo close to downtown Breckenridge may suit your family vacation.  If you’re celebrating an anniversary take advantage of room service and a concierge at a hotel suite. Get away from it all in an air B&B.  Or, book something glam for your bachlorette weekend!

 

Inn at Aspen

We partner with great companies, like Wyndham Vacation Rentals to offer you the very best of the Colorado Rockies.  Give them a call and ask for a property that suits you.  Your representative will have the skinny on what to do, where to eat and how to make the most of your time.
