Here is a photo of me and "Claude" the mountain poodle. This was taken on Boreas Pass Road overlooking the ten mile range. My friend Kathie Hennessey who was here over the holiday weekend from Boston took these photos. This was her first visit to Breckenridge and she loved it.

Well, it's the first week of December and all the ski resorts have great snow and nice base. Breckenridge ski resort has opened peak 9 and 10 and peak 8 opens this week. All of the new gondola towers are up and the base building is being finished. After completion the cables and the cabins go on. This year the resort opened the Imperial chair lift early even before peak 8. This weekend we are getting lots of snow. Thanksgiving weekend the town was packed with people enjoying sunny weather and great ski conditions.
