Gotta love it!  Breckenridge is open,not a little, but a lot!  Even part of he bowl is open if you want to hike the t-bar.  I was up there today (as you can see in the pics) and it was glorious.  It is the perfect opening day, 30 degrees, sunny, 34 inches at mid mountain, snow guns blowing, and every bit of the Breckenridge mountain charm in full effect.

Yes, those are people on the lift, ascending vertically to ski Breckenridge Resort for opening day 2010-2011.  I would have loved to have joined in, but I had to get back to the office and send this picture out!

Breckenridge Kingdom Days 2010- schedule of events

Friday, June 18th, 2010
June 18, 2010toJune 20, 2010

Breckenridge Kingdom days is our annual welcome to summer celebration of the rich history and unique culture of Breckenridge. Founded over 150 years ago as a gold rush mining town, Breckenridge was not your normal city. Perhaps that is why mapmakers and the rest of civilized society, did not recognize Breckenridge as a town. So darn it, we recognized ourselves, as the kingdom of Breckenridge. Breckenridge Kingdom days is a yearly party that serves as a reminder to our population that Breckenridge will always remain fairly similar to where it started. Coming to Breckenridge Kingdom days? Then by golly you need to know what to do while you are here.

The activities during Breckenridge Kingdom Days include (Full Schedule of Breckenridge Kingdom Days events)-

-A wild west gunfight on main street

-Museum tours of our historic buildings

-Live music

-The Kingdom days in Breckenridge Town Party

-The increasingly popular outhouse races

Full schedule of Breckenridge kingdom days events can be found on our main site.
