Every spring, as the snow recedes at Breckenridge, the annual cleanup reveals what was lost under the lifts. While the usual mountain of poles, mittens, and vapes are always found, this year's haul of weird treasures was an all-timer.
This continues a tradition of weirdness, with last year’s finds including a whole pineapple and an Invisalign retainer. But it’s not just a treasure hunt. The event is a massive sustainability effort. This year, over 150 volunteers helped collect 780 pounds of trash. The resort's sustainability teams then sort everything, donating used gear to charities like Colorado Ski Chair, Jones Boards, and Recircled.
