• Breckenridge to expand ADU incentives beyond Runway to existing workforce housing neighborhoods (summitdaily.com) — Breckenridge homeowners in eligible workforce housing neighborhoods could recover up to $150,000 in ADU construction costs when selling, under a proposal awaiting formal approval. Participating owners would accept updated deed restrictions, including a 3% annual appreciation formula. Renting the space would remain optional, but workforce eligibility and rent limits would apply if they do. 
• Where Was ‘Christmas Vacation' Filmed? Breckenridge, Frisco and the Griswold House Set (fanbolt.com) — Breckenridge supplied some of the most recognizable snowy scenes in “Christmas Vacation,” from the tree hunt near Tiger Road to Clark’s sled ride on Peak 8. Filmed in spring 1989, the comedy also used Frisco’s Walmart and a school gym, while the Griswold house stood on a now-demolished California backlot.
• Photos and Videos From Opening Day at One of Colorado's Favorite Independent Ski Areas (powder.com) — Loveland Ski Area opened November 7 and is now operating daily, joining Breckenridge and other Colorado resorts already welcoming skiers. Opening terrain offered nearly 1,000 vertical feet, and a November 19 blood drive gives participants a chance to earn a lift ticket valid any day this season.
