Summit County & Surrounding Area Ski Resorts 'COO Breakfast' at Keystone Resort on October 2, 2017

Each fall in Summit County, the Summit Chamber holds a community breakfast to kick off ski season, inviting the local ski resorts' Chief Operating Officers to come out and get everyone ready for the upcoming ski season.  The general public, as well as industry businesses, officials and leaders are all invited to this fun event each year.  Tickets range from $55 to $75 and it tends to sell out very quickly! Your ticket includes breakfast and a goody bag full of great stuff! This year the event is being hosted right here in Keystone at the Conference Center. SummitCove Lodging is offering 25% off all lodging for anyone attending the event.  Since it starts bright and early at 7:30 am, it might be a good idea to just stay the night in Keystone, or the whole weekend and check out the fall colors! Stay at a Lakeside Village condo to be within walking distance of the conference center. Enter code 'COO' when booking your reservation online.
