With Ski Resorts in Limbo, Town of Breckenridge Plans for Alternative Outdoor Winter Activities

Cyclists pedal through the snow at the Gold Run Nordic Center in Breckenridge in February 2019. Breckenridge Town Council on Wednesday discussed expanding outdoor activities this winter in case people cannot access ski resorts as easily as they have in years past.

At a special meeting Wednesday, Aug. 19, Breckenridge Town Council discussed ideas for winter activities outside of skiing and snowboarding that guests can engage in this year.
