Letter from the General Manager
The first summer at the Grand Colorado on Peak 8 has passed and our staff is looking forward to the upcoming ski season! We are very excited to have all the amenities open for the 2017-2018 ski season, and we hope all our owners are looking forward to returning home to see the exciting additions since last winter.
The Construction team has been very busy this summer and fall, getting everything open in Phase 1 and 2. Recently, we have been able to open Theaters 1,2 and 3, with almost 150 movies downloaded onto our server for all to enjoy. The final movie theater will open with the first-floor Phase 3 units in late winter or early spring. We also have the full line-up of DIRECTV channels, with HBO, Showtime, Cinemax and NFL Sunday Ticket available in all theaters. As a reminder, you may have one advanced movie reservation with any overnight stay in a residence. Additional theater reservations can be made the day-of based on availability when on property (this also applies for Day Use reservations).
The operations staff will be busy this fall, performing deep cleans and minor maintenance repairs in all the resort common areas and residences. We perform these deep cleans and minor maintenance repairs two times each year during our lowest occupancy levels: once in the fall and once in the spring. Breckenridge Grand Vacations prides itself in proving quality lodging at all our resorts, and focusing on getting our resorts looking pristine has helped us accomplish this over the years. We hope you will notice how well our resorts are maintained during your next visit.
Thank you for reading and we look forward to welcoming you home soon!
Sincerely,
Jason Bretz

The Grand Colorado on Peak 8 just keeps getting better as more and more amenities open! In the beginning of August, Infinity Spa and the Family Fun Center opened. The Family Fun Center includes an interactive play feature to keep toddlers entertained.
The end of July and beginning of August brought many new and exciting changes to the Grand Colorado on Peak 8. On July 25, we opened the Grand Lobby, lobby bar, business center, fitness center, and Peak Eight Market. The Grand Lobby features stunning artwork, live edge wood tables, a fireplace and plenty of seating.

The entire Breckenridge Grand Vacations family is excited to be working on the final touches for the Grand Lobby in preparation for its opening this month! In addition to the lobby opening in July, we are also putting together the final preparations for the Phase 2 amenities. They include the Lobby Bar, fitness center, movie theaters, Grotto, arcade, business center/library, Peak 8 Market and Infinity Spa. Not all of these amenities will open at the same time as the lobby, but they will not be far behind and will be worth the wait. We appreciate all the feedback and suggestions from our owners and guests throughout the building of the Grand Colorado on Peak 8. We hope you will be able to see how they are incorporated into the new phases of the resort.
We also believe in collecting feedback from our employees about their level of job satisfaction and how we can help improve that. Breckenridge Grand Vacations (BGV) has always made it a priority to be the employer of choice in Summit County, and in recent years BGV has been named a top company to work for in Colorado. We strongly believe that employees who have a high level of job satisfaction and are recognized for their hard work become a greater asset to our team and will take more pride in going above and beyond for our owners and guests.
Breckenridge Grand Vacations does a fantastic job of recognizing the staff for their Grand customer service, and we would like to ask for your assistance in identifying more employees to recognize. If an employee has made a positive impact on your vacation, please share your experience with us. We would love to recognize them for it. You can share it with any of our staff, email me directly, jbretz@breckgv.com, or fill out a nomination online so the employee will be recognized for a Grand Vacation Award.
On July 5, a wildland fire was spotted on Peak 2 in Breckenridge. This fire spread over 87 acres and lead to pre-evacuation measures for some areas within Breckenridge. With the help of local and federal resources, we are happy to report the fire is 85 percent contained and no longer represents a threat to the town or public. We are extremely grateful for the amazing job the firefighters and community did to keep all of its guests and residents safe.
Thank you for reading and we look forward to seeing you at the Grand Colorado on Peak 8 very soon.

We are very excited to announce that Phase 2 residences at the Grand Colorado on Peak 8 (GC8) are open! We welcomed our first owners into these rooms on June 3. The additional Phase 2 rooms will almost double the number of residences we have available for our owners.
We are thrilled about the newly opened units and can’t wait for the additional amenities that will open at the beginning of July:
As a reminder, GC8 owners do not have access to the One Ski Hill amenities.
Aside from the resort amenity openings, you will see other improvements around GC8 in the coming months, including new poolside furniture, additional cooking grills, “yard” games, and an outdoor fireplace on the pool deck. During your next visit you may also notice our effort to add more color around GC8, with the installation of new artwork in all of the units and the common areas. The resort is looking better every day! The Grand Colorado on Peak 8 has some of the best amenities you will find at any resort. We hope you are able to enjoy them very soon.
Not only is the Grand Colorado on Peak 8 a beautiful resort, it is situated at a fantastic location at the base of Peak 8, giving our owners and guests perfect access to all of the activities taking place at this base area during both the winter and the summer months. This summer Breckenridge is proud to launch Epic Discovery. This world-class on-mountain adventure will complement Breck’s existing summer fun. Epic Discovery includes all of the Peak 8 Fun Park’s activities, plus new and exciting adventures. Please go here for more info.
In addition to these thrill-seeking activities right out your front door, the GC8 Activities department has set up discounted rates for many other exciting activities in our area. Please stop by to talk with the Concierge staff to find out how you can get discounted, or even free, activities. The Concierge is located across from the temporary Front Desk on the Terrace Level, but will be relocating to the first floor in the main lobby in July.
We look forward to seeing you this summer!
