The ski areas are working very hard to make sure that everyone knows that they are now using clean, natural resources as a source of electricity. Do you have any idea what it means for them to be wind powered?   At first I visualized many big wind turbines sitting on top of the ski mountains.  We...

Lagoon condos and townhomes were built from 1982 to 1990, with a later phase built in 1994 and 1995.  In the photos below, the newer phase is the beige buildings, with the rest of them in brick or stained cedar siding.  Lagoon was the premier condo complex in Frisco for a long time.  It is still ...

 People often ask me, "where is the best place to buy my condo?"  My answer is usually another question, "where do you like to ski?"   Most times they are indirectly asking me for the area with the best appreciation, and, for that reason, I think I would have to say Breckenridge but qualify it wi...

Summit County, Colorado has plenty of events and races for charitable causes, including the Romp to Stomp out Breast Cancer, a snowshoe race held in Frisco and sponsored by Tubbs snowshoes. This weekend I was in Aspen, and on Saturday morning I walked  the 5K walk for the Susan G Komen Foundation...

I liken getting a new business established to flying an airplane.  You have to get the engines going really really fast to get it off the ground, and keep them going fast, although perhaps throttled back just a bit as you gain altitude.  When you get to 37,000 feet, or whichever altitude you want...

One of the hardest things for me to learn has been the new language that I call "geek speak".I thought it might help some of the newer bloggers to have some translation, and perhaps some of you veterans can add a few more that I forgot.   I find that geek speak is more ingrained in veterans, whic...

(Nor should it be!)Last week I was talking with a friend of mine about a parcel of land called the Giberson Preserve.  It is one of Frisco's last truly beautiful parcels of privately held land still in its original state.  The Continental Divide Land Trust (CDLT) holds a conservation easement on ...
