Blue skies, blindingly white snowcapped peaks and redline workouts are the type of red white and blue that makes our high country hearts race. (Get it? Fitness joke!) The diverse offerings here in Summit County are teed up for a perfect Independence Day celebration.

How about some golf?

We, high country residing fans of flora and fauna, are very confused about how the pansy - heartiest of high altitude flowers - has become a shorthand insult for weakness. We, pansy fans, will continue to cheer for this little guy, often the first kiss of color pushing through the snow. Be a pansy! Get outside and enjoy the variable conditions of spring in the high country.

How about some golf? Since A-Basin will be open through at least June, some skiing in the morning and golf in the afternoon is a Summit County double header. Add a bike ride for a triple, and if you find a 2 for 1 dining deal for dinner you've hit the Summit County homerun. Only for the experts- add a paddle, raft, hole in one, or large wildlife sighting for…

The bears are emerging from hibernation and they are out looking for food. Its a good thing they don't know about Summit County's mud season dining specials. Thanks to a new facebook page and website, keeping up-to-date on spring season dining deals and restaurant closings is easier than ever. Newly created by tapped-in locals looking for one cohesive calendar of events, live music and dining specials, we predict this source will quickly become a Summit County must-check.

Another locals favorite is the Dining Passport. Your ten dollar passport purchase opens the door to numerous dining deals and helps fund the Breckenridge Restaurant Associations scholarship awards to local students. Win/win yum. The link below…

Summer in Breckenridge is a time to reset. And while, summer won't start for a while yet, April and May can be nice, for their slowness, coming from the skiing high season. Summer is chance to reconnect with our human powered sports like hiking and biking. The strength and endurance we build from these sports hopefully allows us to have a strong and healthy ski season - circular, and tied together like the seasons. And as life circles for us, it goes for construction and infrastructure projects as well. As we take a collective breath and feel the earth beneath our feet, the earthmovers are also lining up to take advantage of nice weather and unfrozen ground.

A big project in Breckenridge this summer, one with the power to impact the flow of your day,…

By May 1st, 2017 you should have in your possession a new Notice of Valuation (NOV) of your real property value as assigned by the assessor, and based on comparable sales. Average Summit County increases are (anecdotally, not scientifically- yours can certainly divert in either direction from here) 15-20%. You have until June 1st , 2017 to postmark your new value should you feel its unfair. Your evidence must be supported sales that you feel are a better comparison to your home than the ones used to create your new valuation.

What a great time to call your favorite Broker/Partner over at Breckenridge Associates Real Estate! We have access to all the sales records, a deep knowledge of the market and familiarity with the NOV form. We are happy to help-…

As the ski season winds down in the high country, and Front Range visitors begin to think about soccer and springtime, winter activities are still in full swing here in the mountains. As daylight hours lengthen and temperatures oh-so-slowly begin to climb, snow texture changes to spring conditions. And what conditions they are; from mashed potatoes to powder days, spring can hold it all. So what we are saying is- don't put your skis away just yet. This years gigantic snow totals means extended seasons for all the local mountains. Importantly, the lingering sunlight and warmer afternoons means après ski can begin to migrate outside to winters long neglected decks. And for some, après and skiing mix into one very special Summit County tradition- Beachin at…

This is a winter of powder turns, powder whoops*, sore quads, exhausted après, mandatory hot tubs and other great side effects from a ton of snow. Other benefits will include a massive whitewater season from all the runoff, so its a good time to start thinking about planning a spring or summer river adventure.

But moose kisses? Didn't see that one coming. All the snow has brought moose down from the high country and right into town. While they've often wintered close to humans in Cucumber Gulch, Christy Heights, and Peak Seven neighborhoods, this season they've moved right onto Main Street and other lower lying neighborhoods. Location, location, location! They can be observed grazing and strolling, window-shopping, and bunking down for the night in…
