AURORA — The annual winter break has come and gone. And, with the season back in full swing, the first championship of the winter is just about a month away.

The 2015-16 winter season officially resumed with a light slate of events this past Saturday, but things will really pick back up this week. After that, the championship season nears at a rapid pace.

Girls swimming’s state meets are Feb. 12-13 in Thornton and Fort Collins, and begin a frenzy of championship activity over the final month of the winter sports season.

The state wrestling meet is Feb. 18-20 at the Pepsi Center, a great annual event which routinely draws tens of thousands of fans.

Following that, the state skiing meet is Feb. 25-26 in Aspen. The ice hockey playoffs conclude March 4-5 at the Budweiser Events Center in Loveland, and the state basketball finals for both boys and girls are March 10-12 at various locations around the state.

Prior to those any of those events, the Legislative Council will meet in January to vote on a number of important proposals. Included is a transfer rule proposal which is sure to generate some discussion.
