Your Source for Summit County Real Estate
Today, Monday, is blog action day. Bloggers all over the country are blogging about the environment. I always prefer local flavor when I write posts, because I think that is why people read this blog. A few weeks ago I wrote about the Summit County ski areas using wind power to run ski lifts, and I had planned another during hiking […]

Copper Mountain This year Copper Mountain has partnered with both Winter Park and Steamboat for a variety of types of passes at various prices. It makes for a confusing array of prices for […]

Yes, they are designed nicely, and have a mountain feel, but the town is losing a little of its charm and quaintness because of Frisco development.

Summerwood is a unique little subdivision at the edge of Lake Dillon. The very top of Summerwood is on a ridge that overlooks Lake Dillon, and the views are spectacular.

Last week I was talking with a friend of mine about a parcel of land called the Giberson Preserve. It is one of Frisco’s last truly beautiful parcels of privately held land still in its original state. The Continental Divide Land Trust (CDLT) holds a conservation easement on it so that it can never be developed. When I told my friend that […]
