Breckenridge Resort closes for the winter

From Summit Daily News, April 4, 2006, by Nicole Formosa.

After Breckenridge boasted a season that dumped 327 inches of snow on its 2,200 acres of terrain, the resort closed for the winter Sunday [April 23, 2006]. Before calling it a year, skiers and riders watched telemark skiers in funky costumes compete in the annual Bump Buffet on Peak 8's High Anxiety run.

Comments from skiers and boarders:

"The snow was stellar" said Shawn Dye. "I've lived here for 8 seasons now, and it was the best that I've experienced".

From Kelly Scanlon: "It has been phenomenal, wonderful, had a great time. Excellent time on the mountain, good snow, good people".

"This is my first year, but I'm coming back next season" stated Kris Young.

And Jay Stabile said "They just keep getting better ... weather, people, better costumes (at the Bump Buffet)".
