Letter from the Assistant General Manager
Greetings from your family at the Grand Timber Lodge!
This is always a wonderful time of the year. With the ski season in full swing Breckenridge is bustling with lots of activities and things to do. Lets all pray to Ullr that we have a season like we did last year!
If you’ve been to Breckenridge in the past, you have probably either experienced or heard of Ullr Fest. This 57-year-old tradition celebrates the Norse god of snow as we prepare for an amazing season. This year the festivities will take place between Wednesday, December 11 and Sunday, December 15. Every day will be packed with lots of festivities, including- the crowning of the Ullr king and queen, an attempt at once again breaking the unofficial world record for the longest shotski, an ice plunge in Maggie Pond, an ice-skating party, and a live performance from the American folk band the Wood Brothers. For more information on Ullr Fest and these events please go to https://www.gobreck.com/event/ullr-fest/.
Have fun on the mountain and have a great holiday season!
Here is a peek of what has been happening at the resort
- We have replaced the mattresses in Buildings 5 and 6. The new mattresses have gone through an extensive testing process and have received rave reviews.
- We have all new bedroom lamps in Buildings 5 through 8 units. These new lamps match the ones that were installed in buildings 1 through 4 last year. They have outlets on them, which is a nice addition for charging your phone or devices at night.
- As winter is upon us, make sure to take advantage of the discounted shuttles offered by our Concierge department. With icy conditions it can be difficult to get to and from Breckenridge, so please avoid driving if you don’t have to. Our Concierge department can be reached directly at 970.547.3612.
- We are pleased to announce that we have partnered with Breck Coffee to provide a better product for our guests. This new coffee is less expensive, is locally roasted, comes in a more sustainable package, and best of all tastes better! Please let us know your thoughts the next time you come up.
We welcome your feedback and suggestions on how to make Grand Timber Lodge a better place for you and your family. You may always send ideas to jstuhr@grandtimber.com for consideration!
