Overview
With their dramatic views and diverse terrain, Breckenridge’s four incredible interconnected mountains are a winter enthusiast’s dream, against the background of the charm of the Victorian town.
The stats to look at here are the near 40% of slopes that are ideal for experts with vast areas of above-timberline, off-piste turning. Peak 10, a site for World Cup races, gives the intermediate and expert skier and snowboarder even more to enjoy. Beginner skiers will find plenty of well-groomed terrain on Peak 9 and the lower half of Peak 8. The two neighboring peaks also offer challenging intermediate runs, tree skiing, wide open glades and mogul fields. All together Breckenridge boasts 3,398 vertical feet on four peaks.
Breckenridge offers competitions and exciting events, such as Freestyle and Snowboard World Cups, the UllrFest Winter Carnival and the International Snowsculpting Championships.
HISTORY
The resort’s unreal skiing is equaled by a real town; Breckenridge’s authentic Victorian mining town past is preserved in one of Colorado’s largest Historical Districts, with more than 250 authentically maintained structures. Today, that rich historical tradition blends gracefully with the diverse offerings of a world-class destination resort that is home to hundreds of shops, pubs, boutiques and restaurants.
Visitors will also welcome the variety of lodging options. From bed and breakfasts and private homes, to ski-in/ski-out condominiums and full-service hotels, the town can accommodate over 23,000 guests.
