Main Street Station Summer Concert Series Announced!

Ahhhh...summertime in Breckenridge, turquiose blue skies, cool temperatures , hiking, biking and now LIVE MUSIC in the PLAZA!

Main Street Station has announced the first ever Summer Concert Series. The series kicks off on June 6th from 3 - 7 in the Main Street Station Plaza featuring the M.T.H.D.S. and headliners Pep Love and Opio , front men from the wildly successful Heiroglyphics.

M.T.H.D.S. sound is funk-driven rock, melodic hip-hop and blue reggae united together. Formed in April of 2007, ‘The Methods,’ as they’re more widely known to their fans, were drawn together by a love of music and snowboarding. Using a name derived from the snowboarding trick, the Colorado based group began playing to world class athletes, tourists, ski bums, gnarly shredders, hipsters, slizzes and confused drunk weirdos that accidently wandered into various shows.

Headliners Opio and Pep Love are members of the Oakland -based undergound hip hop collective - Heiroglyphics. Both remain two of the most popular Mcees in the Hieroglyphics camp, coming off with a smooth flow in conjunction with well thought-out and clever verbals. They continue to astound fans worldwide.

Tickets $15.00 by calling Main Street Station at 970-453-4000 or purchase day of show.

ResortQuest Breckenridge hit with winter storm.
Ski resort covered in excess of 15 inches of snow.

Breckenridge, Colorado – October 26, 2006. Breckenridge, Colorado is reeling from one of the first winter storms of the season. The storm hit the resort with a vengeance late Wednesday, October 25 and left the area covered in over 15 inches of wet, early season snow. Officials rushed to close Interstate 70, the state’s primary east-west thoroughfare, as hundreds of motorists found themselves stuck and stranded on the side of the road. Highway 285, connecting Denver and Colorado Springs to Breckenridge from a southern route, has also been shut down temporarily. Additionally, the heavy snow shut down all local schools and many across the front range Denver/Boulder area. Even for a high-alpine resort that is accustomed to winter storms, this one shook the county.

Despite the inconveniences, the early storm was a blessing in disguise for the area ski resorts. Summit County, Colorado is home to 5 major ski resorts within a 20 mile radius, including Breckenridge Ski Area, and is largely considered the hub of the Colorado ski culture. With the ski season fast approaching, locals and resort officials alike welcomed the snow with open arms.
