This post is a special shout-out to Creative Peaks, Inc. – the local Summit County creative force behind the New Look of SPRTV! SPRTV’s new look is based on a photo of Bald Mountain at noon, graciously donated by Creative Peaks.  The photo was taken by Linda Lee Mirro, from the deck adjacent to her home in Silverthorne, CO. Although quite small, of course, you can clearly see the SPRTV Electronics Site just off the ridge of Bald Mountain, in the center of the mountain. Linda’s husband and SPRTV Board Vice-President, John Mirro also donated his time and Adobe Illustrator expertise to turn Linda’s photo into the banner artwork above that adorns our blog (and soon our website and all our on-line presence). While you’re checking out...

You may have recently noticed a new banner, taglines, menus and background on our blog. This is part of a major overhaul of SPRTV online and in-print, by the SPRTV Marketing team.  The Bald Mountain image, full Summit Public Radio & TV name, and the “We move mountains” and “Not your typical public radio & TV” taglines will become the new “welcome home” look of our website, blog, Facebook page and Twitter feed. In addition, the SPRTV Marketing team is working hard on a new flyer with a similar look, that will include, for the first time, a complete guide to all the FM and over-the-air TV stations available here in Summit County.  Of course, we’ll also take the opportunity to remind everyone that SPRTV provides 9 FM and 7 TV stations...

Recently, the SPRTV Marketing team created a new 1/4 page ad for the forthcoming Breckenridge Music Festival and National Repertory Orchestra summer program books.  Check out a sneak preview of the new ad before it hits the presses! This new ad is based on a photo graciously donated by SPRTV Vice-President, John Mirro, and his Creative Peaks Photography studio – taken from the deck adjacent to his home in Silverthorne.  Although quite small, of course, you can clearly see the SPRTV Electronics Site just off the ridge of Bald Mountain, in the center of the photo. Some quick highlights … This is the first marketing piece since our rebranding session to use our full Summit Public Radio & TV name, as well as our new sprtv.org website address.  We’re...

The Summit Daily News reported yesterday that the Summit Huts Association is looking to add another new backcountry hut to their collection – potentially located on the north side of Bald Mountain near Weber Gulch. The proposed Weber Gulch hut, located at 11,500 feet, would sleep 14-18 people and would be accessible by an approximately 3-mile-long trail (gaining approximately 1,200 feet at an average 7 percent grade) - utilizing both new and existing paths. The trailhead would be located near French Gulch Road where 12-16 new overnight parking spaces would be needed. The new trail would connect with existing trails and, though it would be wide enough to accommodate an ATV and trailer — approximately 50 inches — for hut maintenance, public uses would not...
