Blue skis today with zero degree temp. at 8:30 am.

If you come to the Ski Swap at the Breckenridge Nordic Center and pick up some low priced "rock" skis, then you could be skiing today on our teaching area. We are rolling trails in preparation for the next good snowstorm, so we will be ready to open and set tracks. For now it is good for drill training, but not for trail skiing.

There are some trails open up high on the Breck Nordic USDA, FS permit (Peaks 6 & 7) in Breckenridge for snowshoeing. We are renting snowshoes, but not skis at this time.

The snowmaking begins in Frisco next week in anticipation of a Thanksgiving weekend opening.

The Annual Nordic Ski Swap to benefit the Summit Nordic Ski Club is going on this weekend Nov 15 & 16th at the Breckenridge Nordic Center (1200 Ski Hill Road - 970-453-6855). You still have time to clear out your garage and storage spaces of new or used ski gear and snowshoes in exchange for store credit or cash. The swap items feature new and used equipment on sale for skating skiing, classic skiing, and backcountry/tele-skiing and snowshoeing, plus related gear.

We hope to see you soon! The Dayton's
