In 1986, the tow rope was stolen and the hill did not open…

With approximately 10 months of construction remaining, the new parking structure currently doesn’t look like much. The final plan features include heated sidewalks, a plaza with restrooms, elevators, availability signate, electric car charging stations, and pedestrian improvements along the eastern side bordering the Blue River. The architectural design is influenced by Breckenridge’s mining history and will include wood siding, stone accents and native landscaping. The idea of drawing visitors toward Main Street restaurants and shops after a day on the mountain also played a big role in the functional design aspects.

Artist renderings of site plans and construction timeline can be seen on the Town of Breckenridge website.

Opening day is a celebrated occasion every November and the anticipation this year was higher than ever before. However, the excitement was also mixed with reservation-system wariness and most everyone was wondering if purchasing a season pass would be worthwhile. With the season officially underway, we’re here to give you a first hand on-the-snow and reservation systems report.  

Although everyone was thrilled with the announcement of a ski season back in September, the thought of having to make a reservation instilled a sense of dread in many. With only a handful of runs ready to go during the scheduled openings of Keystone and Breckenridge, pessimism was running as high as the Imperial Lift.

2020 sales through October 31st brought stats none of us saw coming. Like the rest of the world, we have been shocked this year by circumstances never before encountered. Knowing the Breckenridge real estate market fared better than most back in 2008, we could only be cautiously optimistic. When public health allowed real estate showings to resume this past June, we were more than pleased to see buyers returning, but never expected to see the surprising gains reflected in the October stats report. 

Clearly, people want to own property in the mountains. Sales prices are going up and inventory is going down. Our office is following this trend with an increase of 23% in sales dollar volume. While residential sales are up, the number of…
