Dillon is close to three ski areas, Keystone. Breckenridge and Copper Mountain. It has a large outlet mall and many interesting shops and restaurants in town. In addition to skiing, you can also enjoy cross-country skiing, sleigh rides, ice skating, sledding and tubing, and snowshoeing near Lake Dillon.If you are going to be in the area near the end of January, beginning of February don t miss the 2010 Budweiser International Snow Sculpture Championships. They are totally amazing. First you can watch as they are construed and then see the final breathtaking results. http://www.townofbreckenridge.com/index.��
Get to Frisco...best variety in dining in the county. Check with the Summit County Chamber of Commerce, and the Dillon one. They have websites, to find out what is going on for the time you ll be here. Check the Dillon Community Theater (I think that s the name...they were doing A Christmas Carol tonight...sold out!) See what they are running. There are other theaters. Mostly, it s about winter sports, and shopping, and food. There are festivals, though, all the time.
