Let’s be honest:

Fall routinely gets short shrift when it comes to discussing the seasonal

joys of North America’s most popular ski towns. And reports from Breckenridge, Colorado, typically aren’t

much different. Wintertime here is praised for its average annual snowfall of nearly 30 feet. The summer months

are hailed as the season when warm days are filled with endless outdoor activities. And spring … well, people

love spring because after a few months of all that powder, even the most hardcore skiers and snowboarders

are ready for some bright, sunny days. Then there’s fall, when the go-to highlight is the fact that the weather

is beginning to cool down again, which means it’s about time for another 30 feet of snow.

It’s not ski season and it’s not summertime,

but with plenty to do and even more to eat,

there’s a great chance you’ll fall for

Breckenridge,

Colorado.
