Have you ever considered Snow shoeing?  It is a great form of exercise and a nice way to take a break from skiing or snowboarding. 

This weekend there are two large events happening in Summit County.  The first one is called the Swift Skedaddle Snowshoe Adventure and is sponsored by the town of Silverthorne.  It consists of a 3K romp and a 10K race.  This event is a United States Snowshoeing Association (USSSA) regional qualifier.  What this means is if you are competitive you may get a chance to compete at a national level.  Now, if you just want to go and have some fun, just do the 3K romp, it is a family friendly event and it will take place at the Raven Golf course.  This event occurs on Sunday, Jan, 2009.

The other event that is happening is also on Sunday and begins at the Gold Run Nordic Center in Breckenridge.  The course goes between Breckenridge and Frisco and follows the Recreation path.  You will have a choice of either snowshoeing or Cross-country skiing. The event is sponsored by Friends of the  Dillon Ranger District.   They encourage everyone to wear costumes and have a good time!  When you reach the finish line they will have prizes, food and beverages.    This event is called Tour of the Summit, it is a snowshoe and x-country fun festival. Should be a lot of fun!
