When the COVID-19 shutdown hit in March, fears of permanent small business closures in Summit County abounded. However, in Silverthorne and Dillon, more businesses have opened than closed since March of last year.
In Silverthorne, 28 new businesses have opened since March 1, 2020, and 13 have closed, according to town records. The lists of opened and closed businesses are based on the number of business licenses the town has issued and the number of business license accounts it has closed. Of the new businesses, there were several brick-and-mortar stores, including Just Send It, a packing and shipping store, Windy City Pizza, and Gore Range Sports.

The weather in Summit County has felt more like winter for the past few weeks, but while snowfall is forecast again this week, only light amounts are expected. National Weather Service meteorologist Russell Danielson reported that a storm Wednesday night will bring 1-2 inches of snow in town to Summit County.
Temperatures soared above 40 degrees throughout Summit County on Tuesday, but Danielson said a cold front would come through Tuesday night, setting up for a small storm on Wednesday. He said the majority of snow would fall Wednesday night.
“It’s looking like the east side of Summit County by the Continental Divide maybe (will get) 2-4 inches up on the ridges there, but down in Dillon, Silverthorne, all that area, maybe just 1 or 2 inches. So not a terribly big event,” Danielson said.
