Around 2017, Jonathan Cernanec and Patrick Hansen decided they were done working engineering jobs that made them miserable. They left those gigs and joined Keystone Ski Resort’s ski patrol and the new roles immediately delivered everything the 20-somethings felt like they’d been missing: a chance to solve problems, help people, work on a team, and, yes, ski lots of powder.

Breckenridge Ski Resort has announced that it will be closing down skiing and snowboarding operations earlier than anticipated. While the resort planned to stay open through Memorial Day on Tuesday, May 18, that closing day would be moved up to Sunday, May 23.
A tweet from the resort stated that “while we were aiming to ride with you through Memorial Day, Mother Nature had other plans,” alluding to the below-average snow year Summit County has experienced. The resort added that it plans to operate throughout May in future ski seasons.
Breckenridge plans to open up its summer operations June 18, which will include the opening of lift-served mountain biking, the GoldRunner Coaster and Alpine slides.
