It's pretty awesome out there. 18 degrees this morning in Keystone, where it's snowing. Copper Mountain reports 6-8" new snow. Loveland reported 10" last night. Looks like it's going to be a great season so far...
Loveland and Arapahoe are open and just a few more days till Keystone is open. Copper says it's time to get your season pass.
You can get all this information on the respective Facebook pages, as shown in my previous posting. Go, now, "like" them all. You'll be glad you did.

If you "Like" these pages, you'll be way ahead of the game for finding seasonal rental information, as well as activities and events that you'll enjoy.

Winter 2012 Preview
Last year we took the condo off the rental market and spent some time doing some major revision work inside. We ripped out a lot of the old faded, scratched, peeling wallpaper and painted. Right now we're working on preparing it to possibly rent for the 2011/2012 ski season in Summit County.
We have to finish the paint in a few rooms, and then clean the carpets, and some minor repairs and we're good to go. We have a great location - actually walking distance to the Mountain House base at Keystone Resort (I've done it in ski boots - probably a piece of cake in snowboard boots). Via Swan Mountain Road the ski condo is only about 20 minutes from the base of Breckenridge Resort, and via US Hwy 6 about 15 minutes from Arapaho Basin (did they change their name to A-Basin or is that just local talk?).
Vail Resort is about a half hour away, but still doable. We've used our Colorado Ski Pass to ski there a time or two in the past. The Epic Pass is a great value btw if you plan on skiing at least 5 days - check it out at the Keystone Ski Pass Office.
Subscribe to this blog and get updates for when we get it finished if you're interested in renting a great 2 BR + loft ski condo that sleeps 10.

Dillon among the top lake towns in the USA
Full Story
Quoting the article:
We love our Keystone Condo at Keystone Resort near Dillon Colorado, one of the 8 best lake towns in the United States.
Quoting the article:
Lake adventures in this Summit County town—within 15 miles of ski-season hotspots Breckenridge, Keystone, and Copper Mountain—start at the Dillon Marina, with weekend sailing regattas, boat rentals, and meet-ups for guided Saturday-morning hikes and kid-friendly wildflower walks. From the marina, head two blocks to downtown for the Friday farmers market, where more than 90 vendors sell fresh produce and folk-rock musicians entertain the crowd. For some good old-fashioned fun, spend an afternoon at 18-lane Lakeside Bowl, the only bowling alley in the county.

Spring in Keystone
The resort closes down in April, but that doesn't mean you still can't have fun out in Summit County.
With less crowds, April and May are perfect times to head up to the mountains. End of the season sales will have you snatching up great ski gear and the snow is melting and this means the miles of trails will be available for biking, rollerblading, and jogging. Or just go for a nice walk! There are plenty of bike rentals in the area--they even have the wagons you can haul behind for your little ones to sit in safely.

Mountain View Sports in Keystone.
Pioneer Sports in Frisco
Keystone is known for their awesome runs in the winter, but what about their runs in the summer? Mountain Biking is HUGE here. Check this out!
Come up to Keystone this spring and enjoy less crowds!
