Its finally the season we wait

patiently for each year: ski

season. The cool weather
has snuck in and the snow
has begun to fall, covering
our wondrous mountains
with a blanket of white. As
we wait for the snow to
continue to accumulate and
that fresh powder to make
its appearance, its not too
early to start planning your
weekend winter getaway to
ski the best resorts in
Summit County this season.

With so many great

spots to ski in Colorado,
its hard to get a chance
to ski them all. But,
Frisco is your best bet
for getting a head start
on local resorts with
several of the best in our
own backyard. Make the
Inn your home base this
winter and check out
some of Colorados best.

Keystone Resort
Keystone is one of the closer resorts to Frisco and the Inn.
Located only 10 miles away, Keystone offers unbelievable
mountains and a huge and varied terrain made up of over 3,000
skiable acres, 20 lifts and two gondolas. Whether youre a new or
experienced skier, or looking to hit the rails in the terrain park,
Keystone is a great resort for all ages and ability levels.

Copper Mountain Resort

Copper Mountain is a favourite of our guests and is just a quick hop outside of
Frisco. The Summit Stage is a free shuttle that will take you to the resort in just a
short 10-minute drive. Copper mountain is another great resort for all ski levels
with a peak height of 12,313, 126 runs, 22 lifts and 2,465 skiable acres. Its a
wonderful resort for families or individuals with varied terrain to meet the
needs of all skill levels.

Breckenridge Resort
Breckenridge is one of Colorados more well-known
resorts and there are many reasons why. Notable for
being one of Summit Countys most popular resorts,
Breckenridge is spread out across five peaks that make
up the southern half of the Ten Mile Range. A great
place to ride for skiers and snowboarders, the
mountain has one of North Americas highest lifts, the
Independence Chair which at the top stands at 13,000
feet. The resort also has 34 lifts and can easily handle
46,800 people per hour. With 26 acres of terrain parks,
along with 187 trails to ski, Breckenridge has
something for everyone. And, its a quick 8 miles south
from the Inn, which is about a 15-minute drive.

Vail Resort
Even though the trip to Vail is a little longer than the previous
mentioned resorts, its worth the drive for a day of world class
skiing. Vail is 25 minutes from Frisco and is the largest resort
in the United States with 5,289 acres of the most expansive
skiing in the world. The mountain is accessed by three base
areas: Lionshead, Vail Village and Golden Peak. Lionshead is
home to the Eagle Bahn Gondola and Born Free Express
(Chair 8). Mountain access out of Vail Village is currently the
Vista Bahn (Chair 16), which in 2012/2013 will be replaced by
Vails new state of the art gondola. Golden Peak is home to the
Riva Bahn Express (Chair 6), accessing the terrain park and
Northwoods Chair 11, and the racecourse. Also at Golden Peak
is Chair 12, the Gopher Hill Ski School beginner lift. With a
total of 32 ski lifts, 3 terrain parks and 139 runs, youll be sure
to have the best skiing experience in your life.

Keystone, Copper Mountain and Breckenridge are predicted

to open by November 7, depending on the snowfall. Vail plans
to open by November 21. Other resorts in the area will also be
opening in November, and you can find the full list of resort
information here.

Dont forget: guests at the

Inn also receive a discount
at Pioneer Sports for anyone
looking to rent skis or
snowboards. As weve already
mentioned, the Inn is a great
place to warm up with a cup
of hot chocolate after a long
day of skiing the slopes. If
you have any questions as far
as directions, ski rentals or
local events and activities,
our staff is always here to
help. Book your winter
getaway with us today!
