Spontaneous Combustion & Airbnb Insurance Gaps | Ski Summit Homes with Matt Dayton Ep. 146

Winter in Summit County always brings something interesting, and this week is no exception. On Episode 146 of The Ski Summit Show, we’re covering local events, real estate news, and taking a look at a truly special property just outside Breckenridge.

We start with one of Frisco’s most unique traditions — the Spontaneous Combustion Bonfire & Fireworks. It’s a fun, community-driven way to dispose of dried-out Christmas trees while enjoying live music, fireworks, and supporting a good cause. Events like this are a great reminder that mountain living is about more than skiing — it’s about community.

Next, we dive into an important conversation for short-term rental owners. As Airbnb hosts continue adding premium services like private chefs, massages, and curated experiences, insurance coverage hasn’t always kept pace. Even if your property is insured as a rental, those added services can introduce new liability risks. It’s worth taking a closer look to make sure you’re fully protected.

In our Market in a Minute, we break down Breckenridge single-family home sales. Inventory remains relatively tight, days on market are elevated in higher price ranges, and we’re still seeing opportunities for buyers who are willing to make offers. Sellers are paying closer attention right now.

We wrap things up with our Listing of the Week:

2717 Tiger Road in Breckenridge — a stunning log home on 14 acres with multiple ponds, mountain views, and a peaceful, secluded feel while still being close to town. With over 4,000 square feet, beautiful timber construction, and an apartment above the garage, this property offers flexibility, privacy, and classic Colorado charm.
