Dear Owners,
We hope you enjoy the Breckenridge Connection, our exclusive "owners only" monthly e-newsletter! If you have suggestions concerning the kinds of articles or content you would like to see in the Breckenridge Connection, please contact the Breckenridge Grand Vacations Owner Relations Department at ownerrelations@breckenridgegrandvacations.com.

From the very beginning, my partners and I have built our business on relationships. It has always been our desire that all of our owners have direct access to Rob and me, to ask questions, give suggestions, and request assistance. We want to do everything possible to help you get the most out of your vacation ownership experience, and communication is the foundation of great service.

We are fortunate to live in an age that offers lightning-speed connections with both people and information. With a click of a button, this monthly newsletter goes out to all 18,000+ owners. But what if you want more current information? What if you want input on restaurants, activities, etc., that other BGV owners have found enjoyable?

We have developed tools that employ current technology that many of you use daily, to provide a wide range of tools to help you plan your next vacation. Perhaps the most accessible are our resort Facebook pages. We have a separate page for each of our resorts, and this is the place to go to get instant and up-to-date information and links full of useful news about Breckenridge, including upcoming events and available activities. Just click on the appropriate link below and start cruising around the site.

b. Grand Timber Lodge: http://www.facebook.com/GrandTimberLodge
c. Gold Point: http://www.facebook.com/GrandTimberLodge#!/GoldPointResort

When you're finished there, visit the Breckenridge Grand Vacations blog. Located at http://blog.breckenridgegrandvacations.com, this site is the quickest way we have to get timely information out to you. It is also interactive, so you can use it to communicate with us, to learn about your ownership, and to share your memories of time spent in Breckenridge. Check out three special features there: Owner News and Information, Owner Tips, and Video Tutorials.

You have a very valuable tool in your BGV vacation ownership. Bump that investment to the next level by taking advantage of the materials we are able to provide through electronic media. Get to know fellow owners through the blog. Become more settled in your "second home". And most of all, log on to give us your ideas about how to make your vacation experience better.

Around Town - The O2 Lounge

Sick of feeling the effects of the high altitude when you vacation in Breckenridge? Check out the O2 lounge next time you're visiting. The O2 Lounge's Oxygen Bar uses oxygen concentrator machines that increase the oxygen content of normal air to 90 to 95%. This high oxygen content air is pumped to stations around the lounge where visitors can connect and breathe in comfort. You can relax on one of the Lounge's leather couches, sipping a smoothie and watching TV or surfing the web while the oxygen helps you to acclimate. The high concentration oxygen helps to alleviate the symptoms of altitude sickness and assist with acclimatization to the altitude. The oxygen therapies are not only great for easing the effects of altitude but when combined with the aromatherapy treatments (included free of charge) are also awesome for re-energizing after a tough day on the slopes, helping you to relax at the end of the day and are even a great cure for a hangover! Visit The O2 Lounge 24 to 48 hours after you arrive in town to help maintain your blood oxygen levels at a higher level and avoid significant effects of the altitude, which may spoil your vacation. You can then return for more Oxygen as you feel necessary during your stay to keep you feeling at your best. The O2 Lounge also offers portable O2 cans for you take with you in order to keep your energy up while in Breckenridge. The O2 Lounge is conveniently located at 500 South Main Street in downtown Breckenridge. You can also visit their website for more information at www.theo2lounge.com or call at 970.453.6262.
