Along with the beer festival, Third Eye Blind will playing a live show on the same afternoon at the base of Peak 8.
All throughout spring, you can ski early in the day and go into town to enjoy events and live music which is a pretty good combo when you’re in a ski town surrounded by snow-capped mountains. If you plan on coming later in April, the only ski area open will be the local’s favorite, Arapahoe Basin which features concerts at the base daily.
During this last stretch before the snowmelt is one of the best times of the year for fishing in Summit County. After the snowmelt turns the rivers into chocolate milk for at least a month, they become unfishable so the spring is a great time to take advantage of fishing in the many rivers Summit County has to offer. If you’re not into fishing there are endless, scenic snow trail hikes you can take advantage of before the melt.
If you are one for spectating competitions, the The United States Of America Snowboard And Freeski Association Championships will be taking place at Copper Mountain up until April 8th, featuring the nations top amatuer athletes.
Plenty of events and activities will be taking place all spring in Summit County. While experiencing these spring time activities be sure to keep in mind that whitewater rafting season with Breckenridge Whitewater starts late this spring on May 1st and runs into the summer.
