If you are looking at this blog this month, then we know your excited to start skiing and making your plans to visit beautiful Summit County. Today is summer like with warmer temps and crystal sunny skies. Enjoy it while it lasts. Take in another hike or bike and stay in shape for the cross country ski and snowshoe season to come.

We are working on trails and facilities to open for the Ski Swaps in mid November (14-16 and 21-23). We still have some volunteer positions left to earn a season pass...call us at 970-453-6855 for your reservation.

The new Piston Bully 100 arrived last week. We named it "Lucas" after our grandson. The grooming will be exceptional with this new generation machine...designed specifically for Nordic trails.

Write to us at nord@colorado.net with questions and comments. Thanks, The Dayton's

Hello skiers! It is true that it has been snowing over the past few days. Colder temps and good weather for snowmaking as well. All of the ski runs are covered in Breckenridge, but the ground beneath us is not frozen yet. This precipitation is excellent for getting the ground nice and wet making freezing a possibility, so that upon the next snowfalls we will certainly start packing to ready for groomed and tracked ski trails.

Still better to try hiking than snowshoeing at this time. We will begin snowshoe tours before Thanksgiving on the Peaks 6 & 7 trails in Breckenridge.

For October we are very pleased with the early snowfall and wet conditions. We hope to see you all soon.

Season passes ares still on sale at discounted prices through Nov. 30th.

The Annual Nordic Ski Swap begins at Breckenridge Nordic 1200 Ski Hill Road on Nov. 14th - 16th, then it moves to Frisco Nordic 18454 Colorado Hwy 9 on the 21st - 23rd, 2008.

Thank you, The Dayotn's
