Summit County is lighting up for the holidays, and Copper Colorado Condos wants to help you enjoy the season with a memorable vacation stay at one of our handpicked units at Copper Mountain or Frisco.
Our newest addition, the four-bedroom Peak One townhouse in Frisco, is the perfect spot for a holiday family gathering, or for a group of friends to enjoy the ambience of Frisco’s Main Street.
Our little town (yes, we live here too), is nestled at the base of Mt. Royal, a gateway peak to the magnificent Tenmile Range. The Peak One townhouse is just two blocks from Main Street. Go the other direction up Second Avenue, and you’ll be on the local bike path in just a few moments. In the winter, the path is a great place to try out a pair of snowshoes and enjoy the snow-covered forest. Look closely at the hillside and you might spot the remnants of an old ski jump, once used by local high school students.
After your ski day, enjoy a soak in the new brushed metal hot tub in the Peak One townhome.
Nowadays, the modern resort industry has focused winter activities at well-known world-class resorts like Breckenridge and Copper Mountain, but in the early 1900s, it was a hardy group of Scandinavian miners who first brought their 10-foot wooden skis to the area, continuing the snowsport traditions of their native lands. In 1910, Peter Prestrud built a jump at the mouth of Tenmile Canyon, where the miners held friendly contests.
A few years later, Prestrud and Eyvin Flood, a fellow Norwegian, built a big jumping hill at Dillon (the site is above the Dillon Dam Road), where Anders Haugen even set a world record in 1919.
Come enjoy today’s winter recreation in Summit County and get a taste of the area’s rich heritage at Frisco’s historic park, just a short stroll from our Peak One unit.
