Summit County is located right in the heart of the Colorado Rocky Mountains about 100 miles west of Denver. There are over 1,000 ski condominiums and vacation homes to choose from at or near the Vail Ski Resort, Breckenridge Ski Resort, Arapahoe Basin Ski Resort, Keystone Ski Resort, and Copper Mountain Ski Resort.
With four distinct, world-renown ski resorts within a 20-minute drive of each other, Summit County offers some of the most diverse terrain and best winter amenities available in the world. Just a 30 minute drive to the West over Vail pass you'll enter into the world famous Vail Valley with the resorts of Vail and Beaver Creek.
From the untracked steeps of the legendary Arapahoe Basin, to night skiing at Keystone, to Copper's naturally divided terrain and Breckenridge's four unique peaks ant the vast expansive terrain of Vail the region has something to offer every winter sports enthusiast. And just in case you want to try it all in one trip, the free local transit systems provides easy access to and from nearly all of the resorts. So whether you're an expert snowboarder (each resort has a specialized snbowboard park), a never-ever beginner (look for Copper Mountain's free-skiing-for-beginners program), an extreme skier (A-Basin's Palivacinni is a must), or your favorite part of the sport is apres-ski (Breckenridge or Vail is the place to be), you'll find exactly what you're looking for right here in the Central Colorado Rockies.
For many, Summit County's reputation as the skiing and riding capital of the
universe is more than enough reason to play here but the slopes are not the only places you can enjoy yourself. Some other winter activities we have are:
Cross-country skiing, heli-skiing, ice climbing, snow shoeing, ice skating, hockey playing, sledding, tobogganing, inner tubing, sleigh riding, snowcat riding, snowman making, snowmobiling, snow biking, dog sledding, horeback riding, hot-air balloon riding, hot chocolate sipping, hot tubbing, racquet balling, ping ponging, foosballing, factory store shopping, gambling, fine dining, micro-brew tasting, theatre going, wine sipping and music listening.
They don't call this Colorado's Playground for nothing!
