Resort Retail Colorado

An Old Mining town that thrives on White Gold. In 1987, when Whalers wintered in the Central Pacific Ocean stalking great whales, 2 gold prospectors found Tom’s baby an 13.5 pound gold nugget, the biggest ever found, in Breckenridge, Colorado. For years, mining brought adventurers from all over the world to find their fortunes in this riverside gem of town on the Blue River. When the Gold and Silver ran out, and the riverbeds were left unrecognizable by the Dredges that scared them, the Town emptied for generations and was largely forgotten.

In the 1960’s, veterans of the 10th Mountain Division that trained at nearby winter camps to fight in the Alps and Dolomites of World War 2 Europe came home from the battles after may spent the post war period serving in mountain communities. There they met mountain men that lived in centuries old villages with a culture of mountaineering and were a means of transportation was becoming a sport: Skiing.

They came back to the Mountains where they trained and brought their new friends who knew how to build ski runs and lifts and knew how to teach skiing. Today their work is legendary and lives in resort Mountain Towns where families come to build memories. Breckenridge Mountain welcomes over 1.5 million skiers a year and the old saloons and bordellos are fine restaurants, crape shops, sushi bars and boutiques with finds that you can’t get at home. No National Chains and Fast Food places here. Instead, new pioneers mine the creative juices of the mountains and search the world to curate unique experiences that you can’t find in your neighborhood center.
