Breckenridge Ski Resort

Breckenridge Ski Resort is located in Breckenridge, Colorado, where there is no shortage of amazing snow. The ski season runs from early November to late April.

Twenty-eight lifts service 2208 acres and 147 trails. The mountain is 12,998 feet tall, which makes for long trails and more time on the slopes. The longest trail is 3.5 miles long and is a combination of intermediate and beginning levels. 15% of the trails are for beginners, 33% are intermediate level, 32% are advanced and 20% are expert level. Many of the advanced and expert level runs feature bumps, glades and are often almost deserted.

For 20 years people have snowboarded at Breckenridge. The resort offers four terrain parks, four halfpipes, and a Superpipe with 18.5 foot high walls. The Freeway Terrain Park was ranked one of the best by Snowboarder, Transworld Snowboarding, and Freeze magazines. For their 20th anniversary as a snowboarding pioneer, Breckenridge will update and revitalize their already amazing terrain parks. The resort also offers terrain park classes so you can take your skills to the next level.

If you are an intermediate or advanced skier, Breckenridge is a good place to take lessons. As well as offering highly skilled instruction, the ski school has free video analysis to help you discover subtle imperfections in your technique, so you can improve as quickly as possible.

Besides skiing and snowboarding, the resort also offers ski blading, dog sleding, snowshoe tours, snowmobile tours, Nordic skiing, ice-skating and hockey. Another feature you shouldn't miss is the free, guided mountain tours.After playing in the snow all day, check out the recreation center. It has free weights, cardio equipment, aerobic classes, basketball courts, two climbing walls, and separate pools for adults and children. Relax in one of the two hot tubs, the sauna or the steam room.

Close to the mountain is the 136-year-old town of Breckenridge. With over 100 restaurants, 6 spas, 39 bars and clubs, 258 boutiques and 501 hotels and inns, there is something for everyone. On the mountain, there are also a variety of restaurants, pubs, and grab and go options so you can always get fueled up quickly, even if you don't want to go into town.

Perhaps the most unique and refreshing thing about this resort is their environmental policies. The people at Breckenridge Resort consider themselves to be stewards of the land and the resort makes a concerted effort to promote renewable energy, resource conservation, recycling, wildlife habitat preservation, and environmental education. Part of the energy that runs the lifts is generated by wind turbines. They offer free bus service to reduce pollution and they close certain sections of the resort during elk calving season. The ultimate goal is to move the resort towards complete sustainability. To learn more about this project go to http://www,naturalstep.org/.

Appraisal, Valuation and Inspired Guesswork or the Rise of TV Antique Shows and the Collecting Bug

The Price is Right.

Once upon a time you knew precisely where you stood. You were, metaphorically speaking, peering over the shoulder of the venerable Arthur Negus, denizen of that epitome of middle class culture, The Antiques Roadshow. Now, however, youre turning this way and that, amidst a plethora of antiques discovery programmes, as you seek to satisfy your voyeuristic craving and perhaps learn a little something as you go.

Life used to be very simple in the antique firmament on TV. Its first airing was Going for a Song in 1965, so ancient a time that England had yet to win the World Cup and I was still in short trousers, in a programme memorably described as a

Pooterish pottery riddleathon, chaired in its glory days by Max Robertson with Arthur Negus stapled to one side for a bit of gossip. Max would then proffer a vaguely familiar looking antique loom at teams of experts and a clueless public, demanding both date and asking price. Points were awarded for the closest bid.

That wont ring too many bells with todays protagonists, by all accounts. This was an age in which most educated people were expected to have a routine general knowledge of art, antiques and collecting because it suggested some hint of engagement and appreciation of the world around them. Of course, the clueless public were a convenient prop to the cardsharps around them but the scenario hasnt deviated too far over the last forty years. Having said that, presenters could always be relied upon in yesteryear to wear a jacket and tie and a sensible haircut this was the BBC after all so one wasnt confronted, as is our current misfortune, by a bunch of D listers swathed in Hawaiian tee shirts and an all over tan.

Yet the extraordinary thing is that these programmes and, believe me, there are plenty of them have such enduring appeal. The antiques themselves obviously play their part but the real key is the human dimension and, without exception, it is a feature of all the latter day productions that the viewing public are encouraged to make contact and tell their stories. However, whereas The Antiques Roadshow was deliberately more formal in its approach, more recent entrants are positively gushing. The three best examples of this new genre are Flog It, Bargain Hunt and Cash in the Attic, each of which, like The Antiques Roadshow, have spawned some very ugly American hatchlings. More of that anon.

Back here, we have David Dickinson, full of grandiloquent gestures and gravelly tones, hosting Bargain Hunt. Dickinson, notwithstanding that he loves the sound of his own voice, has certainly done the rounds and knows his stuff unlike the motley crew from Cash in the Attic who look like cast offs from a lifestyle channel. Bargain Hunt is not designed to be too successful but just give a taste of what could be achieved with a good eye and a judicious approach though, as ever, it is most watchable when confronted by the unexpected. One contestant so successfully bought and sold a copper log box that Dickinson, momentarily speechless, had to dispatch a crew member to an ATM to cough up enough cash when he ran short. Priceless!
