History: Founded in 1859, Breckenridge, Colorado, is the oldest continually occupied community in the Colorado Rocky Mountains. Breckenridge's past includes gold and silver mining, dredge boats, the itinerant preacher John Lewis Dyer, gunfights in the middle of Main Street, a daring daylight robbery by Pug Ryan and his band of desperados, the discovery of Colorado's largest gold nugget just a few miles outside of Breckenridge and of course, Rocky Mountain skiing since the 1960's. The 138 year old Victorian resort town includes one of the state's largest Historic districts, with 254 registered buildings, including the Carter Museum.
Climate: The average summer daytime temperature is between 70 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit; evenings lows average between 50 and 55 degrees Fahrenheit. Humidity is low. During the winter months, daytime highs might only reach 30 degrees Fahrenheit, but our proximity to the sun coupled with our "rare air" and abundant reflective snow call for "layering" clothes. Several lighter layers that can be taken off and put back on are the best way to dress for winter. Night-time temperatures can drop below zero. Snowfall might vary from year to year, but snowmaking at Breckenridge Ski Resort assists Mother Nature in providing excellent ski conditions from early season through the winter.
Amenities: Breckenridge offers more than 200 retail shops, restaurants, galleries, and bars for every taste. Night life is generally casual, ranging from intimate bistros to larger-venue clubs with live music and dancing. There is also an abundance of lodging choices to suit all budgets, from quaint bed and breakfast establishments to private residenceand state-of-the-art hotels, with total accommodations for up to 23,000 persons.Meeting and conference facilities are available for small groups or hundreds of conference-goers.
