This place is always in my heart and mind no matter where I end up on this mudball. It all started back in 2005 with answering an ad that was posted in the Summit Daily, the NEWS that Summit County locals live on, stating: “Night-time donuts maker needed” I knew that I was just the man for the position. Upon walking through the front door of Daylight Donuts Breckenridge with a Mohawk, some trendy tattoos, and the attitude of WORK and was hired on the spot by one Richard Snider. The working owner that customers will find friendly and welcoming.
Life from that point on changed, matured, materialized, and created plenty of Long Island Ice Tea memories from the Blue River Bistro next door with a verity of seasonal coworkers that run through.
Richard Snider, owner of the establishment for some 20 years now is one of the few people I give mad respect. I have never met in all my worldly travels someone who I could work and hang out with. His coolness help to create an environment where the front of the house worker could mingle with the back of the house. Giving it a fun, eager to work the next day energy in the restaurant. Skier, snowboarders all welcome.
“LONG LIVE MIKE!“
Mike! That damned old cook. Still built like a brick shit house, and will outlive us all has been serving up breakfast at DD since 1985.
The Summit Daily News did a write up of DD back in 2006. Great write-up! Richard’s mom took the time to frame it, as we had the honors of placing this unit on the wall in the hall heading out the back door. Somewhere amongst the words, I got a decorative mention of the
“freckled tattooed cook YELLING!”
haha
What a mention! Direct description.
Daylight Donuts Breckenridge CO on Facebook
When in Breckenridge, CO there is no other place to go for breakfast and donuts, but you have to be there before it closes at twelve noon daily.!
Even the likes of Shaun White stops in, who I had the pleasure of shank hands with several times! So you never know who you will meet when enjoying some of the morning basics. 
To me, it’s funny that they have a photo of me all high and might on the wall just a little above Kramer’s head.
Love that comedian! “You’re a NI*&#$”
Thankful for Richard and the crew at DD for giving me an eternal placement on the Wall of Fame and positive memories that I will continue to carry throughout my lifetime.
Marisa Knoxs, who is a self employed strong woman will always be my eternal sunshine!
My drinking buddy, my ski partner, my lifetime sis!
Thank you!
This is not a photo of Richard on the lift at Loveland Pass during its numerous powder day. He’s working!
Marisa Knoxs with Richard Snider was ones of the few that took the time out of there days to care for me after my resurrection in 2007. I am forever grateful to them and they are always welcome.
