Domus Pacis is Latin for House of Peace. The Domus Pacis Family Respite encourages cancer patients, their families and friends to escape to the beauty of the mountains and experience the peace that comes from creating joyful memories for the people they most cherish. Through donated resort homes and many giving volunteers, the central mountains of Colorado including Summit County, were designated as the non-profit program’s initial respite community. Since 2008, Domus Pacis has coordinated nearly 1,000 family respite stays.

The Town of Breckenridge and Breckenridge Ski Resort announced mid December that a term sheet has been finalized which outlines details for a parking structure to be constructed on the South Gondola Lot in Breckenridge. The new parking structure is anticipated to break ground in spring of 2020 and is expected to create approximately 400 additional parking spaces, pending final Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) approval.

Holiday fireworks over Breckenrdge

Oh the holiday season! The rush to the new year can be a blur of presents and pressures and celebrations and caloric overloads. Then we land on the doorstep of a new year, exhausted, and looking squarely into the fresh face of all the potential a new year brings. We make our resolutions we hope we can keep. In so many parts of the country, gyms reports an uptick of hopeful participants in the early weeks of a new year.

There is nothing like your first day of skiing for the season. Sure, the ski movie premiers are high energy affairs. First dusting of the peaks can get your heart racing as the lights, sights, smells and temperature all trigger our skier brains that the season is almost upon us. But first day brings the excitement up to a whole new level.

You awaken with that first day of school flutter in your stomach. Well -- even better than the school flutter. Choke down a super smoothie and oatmeal to keep you fueled for the day. Touch your toes a few times and give your quads a stretch -- you'll be spending a lot of time together for the next 8 months, so make nice now.

The vigorous powder day, the après ski activities, the delicious hot chili in the lodge, the Bernese Mountain dogs with snowflakes dusting their muzzles- these are all available in most ski towns- they are our universal ski culture touchstones. But each ski town has its own personality- the people and the events that define a community and a local culture. Early season in Breckenridge is defined by several beloved events. We kicked off with Breckenridge and Keystone both starting their lifts on November 9th. Copper adds to the fun on November 16th. A-Basin trounced everyone with an October 19th start. Thanks Ullr for the early season snow!

Thanksgiving in the high country is somehow also an excuse to get out and exercise. Run, then ski, and then eat.…

Summit County is surrounded by open space and trails. From Forest Service, Wilderness areas, Bureau of Land Management lands and county and local facilities, there are close to 300 miles of natural surface trails and 55 miles of county bike paths. In fact, three-quarters of county land is federally managed as National Forest.

All that land comes with amazing recreational opportunities and fuels an outdoor industry economic engine. But that’s not the only fuel that thousands of acres of trees provide. Yes, where there are trees there can be fire. (See our page on wildfire protection) In fact, lodge pole pines are prevalent in Summit County and count on fire as part of their regenerative cycle. So how can you best prepare when living nestled amongst…
