We are over it…
We have had enough snow.  When you ski or snowboard, you can’t wait for the first snowflakes to fall, but we are done!  Copper Mountain, Breckenridge and Keystone have all been closed for a month.  Arapahoe Basin is the only one still open, and they have fabulous coverage and conditions.  But the […]

Anyone living in Summit County can take advantage of the annual Doggy days event at the Silverthorne recreation center.
Once a year, before the pool is shut down for its annual cleaning and maintenance, dog owners have the opportunity to allow their dogs to swim in the pool. It has turned into quite an event, with several sessions and even a Big Air contest! This year it will be Sunday, April 27th, 2008. Water loving dogs like labs and retrievers have a ball at a time of year when they are not able to access lakes and rivers because of ice. It is so popular that you need to make a reservation by calling Christian Liles at 970-262-7380 or email cliles@silverthorne.org. Sessions are from 9am to 10:30am and 11am to 12:30 pm.

You must provide copies of current vacination certificates for Rabies, Distemper and Bordetella before the 27th or the dog will not be able to participate. Cost is $12 for one dog, $15 for two, and $17 for 3, which is the maximum per family. The Big Air contest is at 12:45pm at a cost of $6 per dog.

Those live with their dogs in condos in Silverthorne, Dillon, or anywhere else in the county, appreciate the opportunity to….
