Area Info

Breckenridge Ski Area provides 2,358 skiable acres on four distinct peaks, and Vail Resorts hopes to expand onto Peak 6 in the future. In December 2005, the BreckConnect gondola linked the ski area with the town and eliminated the need to ride uncomfortable buses from the parking lot to the base. The gondola soars above newly built luxury homes, which Resort Town Lodging offers, allowing ski-in, ski-out access to the mountain. A recent chairlift addition, Imperial Express, is the highest chairlift in North America. It accesses fairly steep, ungroomed terrain, which often holds some of the best snow. In addition to 55% advanced terrain consisting of bumps, bowls and steeps, Breckenridge Ski Resort has plenty of beginner and intermediate groomed runs. Independence Super Chair serves a handful of intermediate cruisers, and Peaks 8, 9 and 10 all offer their share of easier slopes. Five immaculately carved terrain parks with jumps, half pipes and rails help transition and challenge riders throughout their development. In April, the Spring Massive Festival bursts with a fusion of live music, grueling competitions and family events.
