WINTER IN SUMMIT COUNTY STARTS HERE
The Ski Area COO Summit is Summit County’s unofficial kick-off to winter - and the largest networking event of the year. Each fall, the Summit Chamber brings together the Chief Operating Officers of A-Basin, Breckenridge, Copper, Keystone, and Loveland for a morning of insights, connection, and winter stoke.
Designed for business leaders, industry partners, elected officials, second homeowners, and winter enthusiasts, the Ski Area COO Summit offers a rare opportunity to hear directly from resort leadership - all on one stage.
Attendees gain:
🔹 Updates from the COOs of the area's five major ski areas
🔹 Insights into summer improvements and winter operations
🔹 A regional tourism and economic outlook
🔹 Meaningful networking with 500–600+ community leaders
It’s where the business community reconnects, ideas are exchanged, and excitement builds for the season ahead.
Whether you come for the insights, the relationships, or the energy — the COO Summit delivers.
✔ The most concentrated business networking opportunity in Summit County
✔ Direct access to ski area leadership and regional decision-makers
✔ Actionable insights to help businesses prepare for winter
✔ A shared sense of momentum as the season begins
This is the room you want to be in before winter arrives.

ATTEND YOUR WAY: In-Person or Online
Sponsorship at the Ski Area COO Summit is highly sought after - and for good reason. With hundreds of in-person attendees, a virtual audience, and months of promotional visibility, the COO Summit offers one of the most powerful platforms of the year and a community spirit that feels like one big family reunion.
Many sponsorship opportunities are held by multi-year partners, who are offered the first right of refusal each year. Once that process concludes, any remaining opportunities are opened to new businesses. While availability is limited, we encourage interested partners to connect early.
👉 Getting on our radar now ensures you’ll be the first to know if an opportunity becomes available.
Rather than offering one-size-fits-all packages, we prefer to:
• Learn about your business goals
• Understand the audience you want to reach
• Recommend the most effective opportunity - or even create a customized sponsorship that doesn’t yet exist
