Familywithin a Family

Their family ties to The Broadmoor run deep. Shauna’s grandparents honeymooned at The Broadmoor more than 75 years ago, and her family has vacationed at the resort every summer since then. She and Michael were married on the property at Cheyenne Lodge in 2006, and they celebrate every anniversary at the resort.

Their oldest son, Jack Henry, was named by a frequent resort guest, whom Shauna also considers to be family. Jack Henry, now 14, works as a caddy at the golf club. Their youngest child, Max, 9, celebrated his most recent birthday in the resort’s movie theater.

“How many 9-year-olds can say they had a private movie showing at The Broadmoor for their birthday?” Shauna says.

Many of the resort’s more than 2,000 staff members share similar stories of connections, friendships, and unique experiences enjoyed at the resort. “It’s way more than work for us—the work is actually the icing on the cake,” Shauna says. “The Broadmoor is about making memories.”

Emily Wallace also met her husband, Damian Wallace, at The Broadmoor in 2009. She was a culinary apprentice and he worked in The Grille.

“His smile—there was something about him. He made me laugh,” Emily says. “I was on a sauté station, he was on the grill, and we were always pushing each other to be the best that we could be.”

Emily and Damian were married the following summer. Today, Emily is the Culture and Engagement Specialist in the resort’s human resources department, and Damian is the Chef de Cuisine at The Grille. Their son, also named Damian Wallace, also works at The Broadmoor as a security officer.

The Wallaces also have two young girls. One of their daughters tells her parents that she’d like to work at The Broadmoor when she gets old enough, too. “To meet the love of her life, like Mommy and Daddy did,” she says.

Macy Miller’s parents also met at The Broadmoor. Her dad was a chef in the Penrose Room, where her mother was an apprentice. At first, Macy says, her mom was annoyed by his “loud mouth,” but they connected at a party, fell in love, and eventually had two daughters— both of whom work at the resort today. Macy is a Conference Coordinator, and her sister, Mia, works in the Boutique where Macy first started in high school. Today, her dad, Justin Miller, is the Executive Sous Chef of the Resort.

“I have to go to my dad for a lot of things, especially custom menus when I’m trying to figure out how to elevate an event and make it special for our clients,” Macy says. “Working with him and seeing his professional side is so rewarding.”

Katie Hogan, Catering Sales Manager, also works at The Broadmoor with her husband, Matt Hogan, who is Head Baker. Sometimes Katie visits Cafe Julie’s with couples planning a wedding at The Broadmoor. She enjoys showing off the ornate pastries and breads made by her husband.

“It’s special to see his team work and how beautiful everything they make looks and how wonderful it tastes,” she says.

She and Matt met at a bakery in California, where they both worked. They later opened a bakery together, sold it, and then worked at Sea Island, The Broadmoor Sister property in Georgia. The couple moved to Colorado Springs to work at The Broadmoor five years ago. Katie says working with her husband is enjoyable. It’s also helpful, she says, not only because they share a commute but also because Matt understands the industry and can help her see challenges from a different perspective. “We both have the same work ethic and put our all into our jobs,” she says.

But, like the Sartoris, the friendships and family memories made at The Broadmoor are what make it more than just a job.

Katie remembers a special visit with her parents at the resort. They stayed in a Broadmoor cottage, and the Hogans enjoyed showing her parents around the grounds, pointing out favorite details, offering insider tips, and making special memories. Katie’s father passed away shortly after the trip. It was one of their last memories together, and one that imprints The Broadmoor even deeper into her heart.

“It’s more than just employees working together,” she says. “We’re like a family.”

In 1916, Broadmoor founder Spencer Penrose invited a select group of drivers to compete for the fastest time on a newly constructed road to the summit of Pikes Peak. With hopes that the event would boost tourism to Colorado Springs, Penrose welcomed more than 600 media outlets to the inaugural run.

Known today as The Broadmoor Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, brought to you by Gran Turismo, the event is the country’s second-oldest motorsports competition, following the Indianapolis 500. The annual race draws competitors, fans and media from around the world to witness seventy competitors in six divisions complete for "King of the Mountain." The race covers 12 miles of road and includes 156 turns, culminating at an altitude of over 14,000 feet.

How Times Have Changed!

In 1916, the first winner of The Pikes Peak International Hill Climb was Rea Lentz, finishing the dirt course in a Romano Special in 20:55

“The appeal of this motorsports tradition around the world continues to bring elite drivers and cutting-edge technology to Pikes Peak. No where else will fans witness grassroots efforts competing head-to-head with major manufacturer efforts,” says Lisa Haight, communications manager and race historian. “For race fans, there is nothing like it—watching the sun rise from high up on the mountain and then hearing the cars launch from the start line one by one—truly it’s a bucket-list event.” Haight has been attending race day since she was a child and cheering on her father, Nick Sanborn, a fivetime winner of the Stock Car division. The 101st running of the “Race to the Clouds” will take place on June 25, 2023. This year’s event is expected to draw more than 30,000 racing fans participating in the pre-race street party and events leading up to the big day. Technical Inspection kicks off Race Week on June 19. Qualifying and practice rounds are held June 20–23. When not on the mountain, fans may also tour the Pikes Peak Hill Climb Experience inside the Penrose Heritage Museum, located on The Broadmoor’s campus at 11 Lake Circle. Visit ppihc.org for more information.

Louis Unser won the Hill Climb nine times between 1934 and 1953, ending his streak by clocking a course-record 15:15

Louis’ nephew Bobby Unser logged 13 wins of the race, ending his own run in 1986 with a time of 11:09

In 2002, the city of Colorado Springs began paving the road to the summit to prevent erosion. The project continued for nearly a decade, but by 2007, Japanese racer Nobuhiro Tajima had dropped the winning time to 10:01

In 2013, French driver Sébastien Loeb knocked more than a minute and a half off the previous year’s course record in a Peugot 208 T16, clocking an 8:13

That record remained unbroken until 2018’s win by Romain Dumas, who, driving an all-electric Volkswagen I.D. R Pikes Peak, set a new time to beat of 7:57
