provides. The county hosts 4 major ski areas: Keystone, CopperMountain, ArapahoeBasin

that adds even more attractiveness to the area. The easiest way to get to SummitCounty
is by I-70, which connects it with Denver.

Continental Divide, and can be quickly reached from Denver trough the Eisenhower Tunnel.

Silverthorne is the major residential town in this area, located mostly
just north of I-70 along Highway 9. 80% of Silverthorne housing is occupied by
full-time residents unlike the other Summit Country towns. Therefore there are
plenty of commodities in the town.
The commercial
area of Silverthorne is mostly the stores, boutiques and cafés that draw many
tourists. The best thing about Silverthorne is that it is surrounded by
Wilderness areas. That provides superb hiking facilities.
The town of Dillon borders Silverthorne a little south of
I-70. 75% of the houses are second homes or rental properties. Dillon is
actively developing a Main Street
