A brand new resort and an award winning company is not all that BGV has going for it. The privately held company is located in an idyllic community. This small town in the high Rockies really has it all. Beautiful summers give families access to endless entertainment: hiking, bicycling, camping, fishing, or whitewater rafting, while the sunny winters allow them enjoy a plethora of cold-weather sports. Depending on what you read and when, Breckenridge ranks about second in the ranking of Best Ski Resorts. One of the most visited ski resorts in the Western Hemisphere, Breckinridge boasts four mountains, five peaks, nearly 3,000 acres and North America’s highest chairlift, the Imperial Express “SuperChair.”
The winter brings lots of snow of course, but when it’s not coming down it’s usually sunny. At 9,600 feet there is always a new adventure from gliding down a mountain in fresh powder to steering a snowmobile above the tree-line, guiding a team of dogs through the forest or bundling up in a horse-drawn sleigh. Director of Sales for BGV John Liner says “I’ve seen a lot of places in this world, and I couldn’t think of a better one to live and raise a family.”
