How to get to Rounders

According to the Summit Daily, Rounders was named after Breck’s first developer, Bill Rounds. His nickname was Rounder and he was the owner of Rounds and Porter which was a Kansas lumber, oil, and real estate development firm. Neighboring Callie’s Alley was named after his wife Carolyn, nicknamed Callie. To ride historic Rounders on Peak 8, you have to follow catwalk Columbine and read the signage to drop into the correct black diamond. It usually is half groomed and half bumps, but always check the groom report on Breck’s website.

Lake Dillon wasn't always there

Okay technically its named Dillon Reservoir because it actually is “last resort” water for Denver. It was a large feat of engineering and provides about 37% of the water going to the Front Range. The need for water was realized early in the 20th century and eventually Dillon was moved and the dam was completed in 1963. See if you can find the picture of the town of Dillon before the reservoir was created — it doesn’t look like Dillon today. The lake has been turned into a recreational area for boating, kayaking, kite-snowboarding, ice-fishing, and everything in between. Visit Frisco Marina or Dillon Marina if you’re here in warmer months.

Mood is calm. — **The fairest tree of all:** Debbie Melancon, of Dillon, searched long and hard to find the right Christmas tree, but when she saw it, she knew it was the one for her. Melancon was at Crown Point in the Peninsula Recreation Area of Dillon Lake on Saturday. The U.S. Forest Service is allowing tree cutting in this area on weekends with a permit. *Original creator: 9 Dec 1989; Mark Fox. Summit Daily News.*

Spring 2022

A fluffy snow had fallen all day, and as the sky cleared up in time for sunset. Pinks and purples stretched over the peaks as the temperature dropped, welcoming in the night.

Loveland Pass is the perfect place to take in the view, just be sure that you have 4WD if it’s been snowing and park off the road in the parking lot.

The sun sets, lighting up the Continental Divide that has grown quiet as guests have left the resort for the day.

Arapahoe Basin is an advanced mountain at the other end of the county.
