Summit County, Colorado, which soars at an average of 9,000 feet, is the unrivaled ski capital of the world. Its four world-class ski areas beckon snow riders from near and far to come and play – and many decide to live here. Situated about 70 miles west of Denver, Summit County seduces the senses with all it has to offer.

There is a spirit here. It is engaging and captivating. People surrender to the spectacular vistas, which seem so far away, but are actually so close. “Lucky” is what most residents here are called by people just trying to survive in the city. Removed from the hustle and bustle of urban life, yet still brimming with activity, attractions, and culture, who wouldn’t want to call this place “home”?

Even with its small-town feeling, Summit County appeals to every walk of life. There are museums and symphony orchestras, international festivals and events, specialty boutiques, world-class ski shops, restaurants galore and a nightlife that can’t be beat.

There is definitely something for everyone here:
· Breckenridge is a real town with Victorian charm.
· Keystone and Copper Mountain have world-class resort facilities.
· Frisco has that "wild west" attitude.
· Silverthorne and Dillon have all the shopping & amenities a resident could want.
· An outstanding international airport is just a quick drive away.

Summit County is a gem with beautiful mountain peaks. Filled with half-pipes, verticals and champagne powder, it has mountains diverse enough to fit everyone’s levels and desires. Most residents of Summit County were once winter tourists, who so enjoyed the area that they decided to never leave. They discovered the county’s best-kept secret… SUMMER!

Step away from stress and move to this unique community. Breathe in the fresh mountain air each and every day. Experience first-hand the generous hospitality of your new mountain-town friends while watching the sun gently set behind the Ten Mile Range.
