Breckenridge Snow Banks

My house still has tons of snow, in late March 2010! Video was taken 3/28/2010, and uploaded directly to YouTube, with my new iPhone 3GS! Love that thing.

We live just outside Breckenridge, Colorado. Our house is at an elevation of 10,700 feet above sea level. This is probably about the maximum height of snow for the season — going forward, it will start melting faster than new snowfall accumulates. Spring, here we come!

Snowy Driveway

March is the snowiest month in Breckenridge, Colorado!

Here’s Roger and Boomer, next to the snow-covered camper in our driveway! Roger is 6 feet tall, so that snow is getting pretty deep. But, all the snow we’ve been getting this month makes for some fantastic skiing!


Haven’t you always dreamed of owning a cabin in the mountains, or maybe a nice piece of vacant land? Life is short, but you’re in luck – it’s a great time to buy! You deserve it, so contact us today.
