Early morning view during the winter of the town of Breckenridge and the Breckenridge ski area in Colorado. Few automobiles are parked along the snowy roads in town, and a delivery truck is stopped in front of the former Kaiser Market (a grocery store) on Lincoln Avenue. East of the market is the Briar Rose Restaurant, then the Breckenridge Barber Shop (A-frame construction). Fronting Main Street on the corner is the Summit County Development Corporation (SCDC) building. Buildings on the west side of Main Street, from left to right: Breckenridge Fire Station and Town Hall (with garage doors and bell tower), unidentified (probably a gas station), Breckenridge Pharmacy, Hoosier Pass Café and Bar, Edwin Booth Opera House (low building with yellow trim), The Liar's Den (a fishing shop), Gasthaus (Hungarian food restaurant and bar) and Barney's Hotelery (a hotel and bar).
