Today's riddle: What do you call a belt that is made of watches? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Science Assistant (work-study) (coloradomtn.edu) — Students in Breckenridge can apply for a flexible work-study job helping maintain Colorado Mountain College's science lab, from restocking supplies to cleaning glassware. The position is on the Breckenridge campus, offers varied hours, and includes accommodations for applicants with disabilities who need assistance through the hiring process.
2. Vail Resorts reports lagging Epic Pass sales but predicts 'significant recovery' after last year's historically bad ski season (summitdaily.com) — Breckenridge skiers may see a somewhat quieter but still solid season ahead, as Vail Resorts reports lagging Epic Pass sales after last winter's historically bad snow. The company, which owns Breckenridge Ski Resort, expects visitation to recover but not fully reach pre-drought levels, and is forecasting modest revenue growth driven by higher lift ticket use and guest spending.
3. Opening dates for Colorado ski areas (gazette.com) — Breckenridge skiers can start counting down: the resort is slated to open Nov. 6, alongside Copper Mountain, as Colorado's ski season ramps up. The schedule also lays out anticipated opening days for nearby favorites like Keystone, Arapahoe Basin, Vail, and others, helping locals plan early-season road trips and decide where to chase first chair this fall.
4. 'E-bike barriers' on trails near Breckenridge, CO, raise accessibility concern (singletracks.com) — New "e-bike barrier" logs on Creek Trail in nearby Silverthorne are meant to keep motorized and e-bikes out, but they may do little to deter determined riders while completely blocking adaptive cyclists. With Silverthorne and Breckenridge both debating e-bike access on Summit County trails, local riders should watch how White River National Forest officials respond and whether accessibility concerns prompt design changes.
