"My name is Marc and I am one your reservation specialists here at Ski Country Resorts. My job is helping people have the most memorable experience when they come to my amazing home.  I live here and am not a skier or snowboarder. I grew up on an east coast beach and never got the ski bug, even though I came out here few times over my childhood to see family. I did try skiing a few times when I lived in Park City, UT but it just wasn't my thing. Even though I don't ski or ride there is no place I would rather live than here in Summit County, CO. After five and half years I still get a smile on my face every time I drive east on Frisco's Main St and look at the west side of the Continental divide in direct view of Grays and Torreys Peaks. They are an awesome reminder of the beauty and the reason I live here and I do what I do. I love speaking to people about this amazing place. This leads me to the following story...

I frequently ride the Summit Stage, the free county bus system. I live in the next town, Frisco, and am often on the bus with skiers and boarders on their way into Breckenridge for the day. Every once in a while there are people on the "Stage" that just arrived into town on a shuttle bus and are lugging their baggage and gear. One Friday afternoon, Nov. 15th was one of those days. I got on the bus in Frisco and there were three young women already on the bus with a few suitcases and a set of skis. I typically mind my own business, sit back, and just enjoy the ride. As we were coming into Breck I noticed one of them perk up a little. I started listening to them speak to each other, sorry I do eaves drop sometimes, we all do. I realized from their accent they were from the UK. One of the young women asked another if they were almost to town. The other nodded and the other two got smiles on their faces. We came around the corner on N. Park Avenue within view of the gondola and the ski runs and I saw them all light up. It was a complete look of joy. 

That is the look I hope everyone that comes to town expresses, whether it's your first time or your 40th time visiting Breckenridge. I love this place and hope everyone who chooses to come here shares the same feelings.  Please, if you have any questions or need suggestions on things around the county do not hesitate to email (marc@skicountry.com) or call me 970-423-3075. We have some great events throughout the season. I am in the office Sunday through Thursday 10:30 am to 7:30 pm MST. I would love to talk with you".
