September Snow in Breckenridge generates BUZZ!!

Yes, I said it, we got snow here in Breckenridge in the month of September, and here's a picture to prove it! As you can see, the trails on peak 8 are blanketed with a nice dusting of the white stuff! This week its been starting to look a lot like winter, with lows in the 20's and highs in the 40's. Are we surprised? No way! At 10,000 feet when Fall rolls around, you have to be ready for anything! What do I think about all of this? I'm pretty excited to get out there and use some of the new winter The North Face gear I got for this season, I just wish there was no "mud season" in between summer and winter. This week its snow, but next week we should have weather in the 60's, perfect for a nice bike ride around Summit County. Once the mountains are open for skiing and riding, I'll really be ready. On November 12th, Breckenridge Ski Resort will be opening Peak 8!




Other good news around the county, A-Basin and Loveland ski areas have begun making snow for the upcoming season! The temps have been cold enough to keep the guns blowing the man made snow and the two resorts are again in a race to see who can open the first "white strip of death".
Make sure to check out BreckGear.com to look at our new The North Face winter arrivals. Just this past week we received lots of new styles and colors to help you get ready and stay warm this winter.
