Community effort to beautify the slopes

Help clean up Breckenridge Mountain!

BRECKENRIDGE — Employees at  Breckenridge Ski Resort are inviting the public to help give the mountain its annual summer cleaning. This year’s cleanup day is June 30.

“We opened up Mountain Clean-Up Day to the public last summer and it was great to see  members of the Breckenridge community who ski and ride Breck often give back and help with our clean-up efforts on trails they enjoy across the resort,” said Gary Shimanowitz, Breckenridge’s director of mountain operations.

Volunteers should meet on June 30 at 9 a.m. at the One Ski Hill Place patio to pick trash bags, gloves and direction to specific clean up sites. Parking is available in the North Gondola Lot and buses will run volunteers to the base of Peak 8. Volunteers should bring water, sunblock, hat, snacks, sturdy hiking boots, as well as layers to prepare for the unpredictable Colorado weather.

At 12 p.m. Breckenridge Mountain Dining will be hosting a complimentary barbeque for those who volunteer at Ski Hill Grill at One Ski Hill Place.. Volunteers will also receive a voucher good for any one of the Peak 8 Fun Park activities.

Fun Park activities include Park Lane SuperTubing, Gold Runner Coaster, Alpine SuperSlide, Mountain Biking, SuperPutt, Mineshaft Maze, Rockpile Climbing Wall, SuperBungee Trampoline, Ripperoo’s Bounce House, Gemstone Panning, BreckTreks Guided Hikes and more.
