Holiday Happenings 2007 - Compliments of Malou van Eijk  and Robin McGlone

Two Below Zero

Climb aboard a handcrafted oak sleigh and nestle yourself under an antique lap robe. To the beautiful sound of sleigh bells ringing, a handsome team of mules will take you down a secluded, picturesque trail. Vistas of grand mountain peaks and towering pines await you at every turn along the relaxing ride.   800. 571.6853 or 970. 453.1520 | http://www.dinnersleighrides.com/

Nordic Sleigh Rides

A truly unique Breckenridge experience. Your evening begins with a sleigh ride on storm-built Santa sleighs pulled by huge Belgian draft horses wearing antique brass sleigh bells. Under crisp Colorado skies, the horses deliver your sleigh to a recreation of an 1860's miner's camp. You'll feel as though you've gone back in time 140 years to Breckenridge's early mining days!

White Christmas  includes all of your favorite Irving Berlin songs, from "Sisters" and "Blue Skies," to "I Love a Piano" and the popular title number "White Christmas."
