Summit County cares about health. Kids, dogs and frogs have groups working for their health, and Summit is lucky enough to have a Forest Health Task Force, too.  This non-profit is currently looking for summer volunteers to help with forest projects. If you are a Summit County homeowner, joining the task force or its partner organization, Friends of the Dillon Range District, is a great way to learn about living in the wildland / urban interface.  There's more on this subject for homeowners on our Wildfire Protection page.

Olympic Alchemy changes Silver to Gold

Red Gerard changed Silverthorne to Goldthorne when he won the gold medal at the 2018 PyeongChang Olympic Games. The 17-year-old wunderkind and newly minted late night talk show hero took the gold in Snowboard Slopestyle, kicking off the Games -- being the first American to win gold -- and raising the bar for every 17-year-old snowboarder in the world.

Summit County is not a place that requires much excuse to throw a party. With so much to celebrate, imagine the festivities that Silverthorne will conjure to recognize the county's five Team USA heroes.

After Gerard’s gold, Kyle Mack earned Silver in Snowboard Big Air and also landed in 11th place in slopestyle.  A few weeks later Mack went on the take the top…

Ski towns are quirky places. A dishwasher or bus driver might have a phD, but works a job that allow for maximum powder day access. Parking can be a challenge, toddlers ski better than you do, men outnumber women, the bike on the roof rack is worth more than the car, we spend a week celebrating the Norwegian god of winter, and a bagger at City Market ran for mayor. These are every day ski town incidents. We are used to quirks.

But the line at Crepes a la Cart is one for the books. It often snakes down the block, with wait times up to an hour, in the cold, in the dark. Other food options are available. Is it the welcoming fire pit on the deck? The saliva-inducing smell of the batter hitting the hot buttered grill? The occasionally surly employees? The…
