Breckenridge was the first place I ever skied out West, and it started a lifelong love of skiing and the alpine lifestyle. I was just a kid from the Midwest with zero expectations or context, completely out of my element at that altitude, trying to figure out Western skiing and getting spectacularly sunburned in the process. Everyone was cool and welcoming, and my family came away with incredible memories. At the time, I had no idea how special that combination of a huge mountain and a real, lived-in mountain town actually was. Decades later, with a lot more skiing and life experience behind me, I've come to appreciate how organic Breckenridge feels. The historic town, its easygoing energy, and the way it sits naturally alongside the mountain give it a character that can't simply be manufactured. I may have passed through Breckenridge since that first trip, but I haven't returned for a proper stay, and I'd love to come back with my own family someday. It will always be the place where a kid from the Midwest first discovered how much he loved the mountains. read more

We rode the gondola from the Main Street and came up here for future ski trip. It was beautiful but sooooo crowded. Free gondola ride with three stops but it was a great exploration. I don't think I'm a ski fan (I tried it and once was more than enough) but still love the beauty I see. We were told that NYE was also crazy busy but didn't realize Valentine weekend would be too. Beautiful nevertheless! read more

I have this list of resorts to ski at that I have been checking off over the years. I feel like Breckenridge Ski Resort has been on that list forever. My buddy and I finally made the drive over from Arizona and had a blast skiing here. Breckenridge Ski Resort (or just Breck) is a popular resort that is owned and operated by Vail Resorts, Inc. We have Epic Passes and used them while we were here. Breckenridge Ski Resort opened in 1961 and has a total of 35 chair lifts. It has five peaks that are part of the Ten Mile Range. We stayed in nearby Frisco and made the short drive over each morning. We then took the BreckConnect Gondola to Peak 8 and began our day there. Lower Peak 8 is home to the base village of Breckenridge Ski Resort. There are places to eat, shop and rent gear in this area. For trails, there is a good mix of beginner, intermediate and advanced runs that you can access from Lower Peak 8. Check out Ullr, the Norse god of Snow statue while you are here at base village. My buddy and I are intermediate skiers that mix in some black runs here and there. I personally have been skiing since my teenage years. We spent most of our first day skiing runs off the Colorado and Rocky Mountain Superchair lifts to get our warmup reps in. We then finished our day hitting some blue runs over at Peak 6. There are a number of places to grab food and drinks. We hit Sevens (at the base of Peak 7) for an early morning Bloody Mary. We also grabbed lunch at T-Bar over at base village. But for the most part, we snacked on granola bars and other goodies that we carried in our pockets. We like to grab hotels that have a big continental breakfast so that we don't have to spend a lot of cash on food on the slopes. Day Two we wanted more challenging runs. Some people told us that Whale's Tail is a good challenge and fun to ski on. Whale's Tail is a double black diamond run that has a 604-foot drop, from 12,858 to 12,254 feet. It is nestled between Peak 7 and 8 and you have to take the Imperial Express lift to get to it. Imperial Express is the highest lift in North America at 12,840 feet. Crossing the catwalk in strong windy weather was no fun. But you get beautiful views of the entire mountain from the top of Whale's Tail once you get there. If was worth the challenge and we had fun skiing down it. The rest of the day we took it easy and skied mostly green and blue runs over at Peak 8 and 9 to wrap up our trip. We enjoyed hanging out in the town of Breckenridge after our two days of skiing. The town itself is very charming and has a number of bars and restaurants. Breckenridge attracts all sorts of outdoor enthusiasts in both the summer and winter. Breckenridge Ski Resort has made the town a popular destination for skiers since it opened in the 60's. The town is definitely worth a stop after a day on the slopes. read more

Stunning views! 10/10 recommend. That said, as it was my first time (attempting to) ski, miserable failure. All good, I learned I'm not a skier. I'm the girl who watches your stuff at the lodge while you are skiing -- equally important. I did do 2 days of semi-private lessons here and they were awesome. Instructors were so kind and helpful, I was just not meant to be a snow bunny. We are who we are. All in all I would love to head back to Breckenridge, you just won't find me sliding down a mountain :) read more

Breckenridge is a great resort with lots of great terrain. Unfortunately the conditions were hideous during our last trip, but we still had fun.

I had such an amazing experience with my ski instructor, Dillon, at Brick Ski Resort! I was in a group with two other people I had never met before, and he immediately made all of us feel comfortable and welcomed. Dillon was incredibly patient, friendly, and easy to talk to. He explained everything in a way that was simple and easy to understand, which made a huge difference for me as someone who was basically starting fresh. Even though I had skied once a long time ago, I was pretty nervous but Dillon helped build my confidence so quickly. What really stood out was how much he genuinely cared. He constantly checked in to make sure everyone was feeling good, warm enough, and keeping up. He also went above and beyond by staying with our group longer than scheduled just so we could experience going up the ski lift, which meant so much and made the lesson even more memorable. On top of being a great instructor, Dillon was super knowledgeable about the resort and shared helpful tips that made the whole experience even better. I would highly, highly recommend Dillon to anyone especially beginners. If you get him as your instructor, consider yourself lucky! He truly made my experience unforgettable. read more

Vail is awful; the town is awful; nothing is quality and everything is overpriced...

My family of five are frequent skiers and Epic Pass holders. We have visited several resorts this season, and this trip was meant to be a special celebration for my husband's 40th birthday and my son's 8th birthday. My children are experienced skiers; my two oldest are capable of boarding lifts unassisted, and I have been skiing safely with my nearly three-year-old all season. Unfortunately, Owen's behavior was completely inappropriate on both days. On April 3rd, he screamed at me the entire time I was boarding with my children and continued to heckle me as the lift pulled away. He offered no assistance or helpful advice, only verbal harassment regarding how I was seating my child. Today, April 4th, my eight-year-old son fell while approaching the lift. The lift was not stopped or slowed, nearly hitting him. After we were seated and the lift finally stopped, Owen made no attempt to check if my son was okay. Instead, he was abrasive and berated me, stating my son must board under his own power--despite the fact that this was a simple mistake by a capable child. He continued to shout at me about my three-year-old being a safety issue, explicitly stating he did not care what I thought or felt. Once the lift restarted, he then engaged in an altercation with my husband, who was on the chair behind us. Owen's lack of sympathy, failure to prioritize safety by slowing the lift, and his verbal aggression have ruined our experience. Breckenridge touts itself as a family-friendly resort, but our experience with your staff has been the complete opposite. We will not be spending our family's money at this resort again if this is the standard of conduct you expect from your employees. read more

Nice resort with a lot of skiable areas good for beginners and intermediates. Wide open slopes. A lot of snowboarders. The week we were there I'd say there were equal number skiers and snowboarders. When there's no fresh snow and cold after a few days the trail surfaces tend to get scraped flat and could get icy and slick especially higher up and above the tree lines. Weekends can get quite crowded especially at peak 9 where the easiest slopes are. The blues at peak 8 and 7 are mostly nice except for a couple of steeper hills - Northstar and Dukes. Peak 6 is blue also but should be considered double blue and due to the wind could be icy and unpleasant. Breck is high up with base at 9600 ft so need to be careful about altitude sickness. read more

We loved spending time at the Breckenridge Ski Resort. First, you park in the city or parking lot and take the free Gondola ride up to the top of Peak 8. There you can rent some skis or use your own. There were so many people enjoying skiing and snowboarding, it was just a pleasure to see everyone enjoying themselves. There are several shops, restaurants and cafes at the top of Peak 8 as well as a few resorts, hotels and time shares. Breckenridge is situated at the base of the Rocky Mountains' Tenmile Range. It's known for the ski resort, its year-round alpine activities and its Gold Rush history. The Victorian core of this former mining town is preserved as the Breckenridge National Historic District, running primarily along Main Street, with colorfully painted buildings from the 1880s and '90s housing shops, galleries and restaurants. Cute town... read more

I was there this past week and the temps were absolutely brutal!! Staff did an amazing job at making sure that lifts were shut down due to the winds or temp to make sure everyone was safe. Even with the weather and the crowds staff did a great job and making sure that the lift lines moved quickly and smoothly. Signs on the trails were easy to read and follow. read more

Yes!! Epic pass was worth it for this resort alone! Such a great time, many peaks and large assortment of things to do. So many different places to be dropped off by the free town bus (ski free) and once you get passed the beginner lift, you are golden. No more lift lines and it's just amazing. If you are a beginner the quicksilver lift is where you wanna go. Such wonderful long green runs to learn whatever you need. What's crazy is, as soon as you get off the lift the runs are not packed with people. They all spread out and go to other places! Take your time and look at the map accordingly, if you are advanced and get lost it's not a big deal but for intermediate and beginners be forewarned, so many areas to get lost in. Have a wonderful time and enjoy the vast and openness of the mountains. read more

You should be ashamed of yourself. I bought a lift ticket for $300 on Sunday and the conditions were very bad. You should not be charging full price for the conditions that now exist. I feel I got taken for a ride on this trip. read more

This review is specific to the ski resort, and not the city or resort+town experience as a whole, which is what does admittedly set Breck apart from other locations. The town has a great and very diverse set of options for food, aprés, shopping, and is so easily walkable, so if you're more resort vibe than hard core ski from first to last chair, you may have an entirely different opinion. Back to the resort. Yes there is great terrain for advanced skiers, but it either requires fresh snow, or is a mess trying to lap it. Traversing the mountain is also a pain because there are either no, or too slow, midload points. A lot of the advanced stuff is southern or southeastern facing, so it needs regular snow or you end up with a crunchy mess until mid day when it softens up again for the next thaw/freeze cycle. The double diamond and EX stuff off Peaks 8, 7, and 10 in particular can get you in that situation where you're just crunching through the top layer of wind whipped freeze if there hasn't been anything fresh, or temps haven't remained below freezing 24x7. On the lapping or traversing issue, that's similarly hard. If you're staying on the 9-10 side, or 6-7 side, and want to traverse, you're stuck in the mess of out of control people, beginners, and crowds of Peak 8 base. You can take the Horseshoe T-Bar depending on direction, but that is not always enjoyable, or a lift to use to rest your legs or mind, as you'll inevitably be stuck on it with someone who has no idea how to stay in the lane or load/unload properly. If Horseshoe ever becomes a chair, it will be so much better. For example, on a great snow day, George's Thumb and Whale's Tail ski incredibly. I ski aggressively, so I like the rest from the lift back up, but now I'm stuck doing t-bar pulling me up a hill standing up for eight minutes. Trying to avoid the base on 8 or 9? 6-chair, e-chair, c-chair, are all old and horribly slow. Peak 8 Super is of course fast, but it's slow to get on at the mid load if it's a busy day, which is every day in March. Anyway, I love Breck on a good day, but it's a frustrating place to ski on what are its very many busy days, and for that reason I'm less likely to visit or enjoy it as much as other resorts. If they upgraded some of the chairs, added a chair, or had better ways to avoid the bottom of 8, it would be dramatically better. For example, Vail has a few mid load points on the front side, or you can just head over into the back bowls and avoid the base crowds and beginners. Similar at Beaver Creek and Telluride; front side base lifts are easily avoided with some good lapping options. read more

Breckenridge Ski Resort - Incredible views at Peak 8!! - Ski Resorts Near Me - Breckenridge, Colorado

I was at Breckenridge for the first time last season, and even though the two big resorts west of here (Vail and Beaver Creek) are my main haunts when I ski CO, had the occasion to come back to Breck in early February. At almost 3000 acres, boasting 5 peaks, it is - along with Keystone - a one-two punch for Epic Pass holders who don't want to drive all the way to Vail, never mind Beaver. While a slightly shorter drive for those coming from Denver, though, it has some drawbacks. Traffic going west on I70 and down route 9 is going to be a grind on weekends, and the hill will be filled with more weekend skiers and learners than Vail and BC. Breck IS very good for learners, though, as the Quicksilver Chair will provide access to some good green runs for anyone not quite beyond snow-plowing, with some flat surfaces down low. Perhaps due to this appeal to less accomplished skiers, the color systems tend to be a notch lower: the blacks could be a hard blue on other mountains, and the double-blacks, merely blacks (even if I have not ventured to the tantalizingly-titled "Devil's Crotch" double-black run myself, yet). There are a few places where the gung-ho crowd could "hike to terrain", but I didn't join them. While it doesn't have quite as many runs as Vail (187 vs. 195), Breckenridge boasts the highest chair lift, not just in Colorado, but in North America. To access it though, you need to ride the excruciatingly long Horseshoe Bowl T-Bar (who even has T-bars these days!? Oh wait, Blackcomb does/did) to get to Imperial Chair and Peak 8. It IS a rocking, long run from there - having fresher legs will help the cause! But it's worth the climb, if nothing else, for the photo op and bragging rights! Breck and Keystone are both good choices for someone like me as well, since I'm only on a "local" pass, which gives me only 10 days total at Vail, BC, and Whistler/Blackcomb, but unlimited access in those two, along with others elsewhere). The conundrum right now is: do I stay with the local for next year, or spend another $200 for the unlimited? I have a few months to ponder that. Talking abut which... the pricing policy of both Epic and Ikon for the past few years has been: if you ski, get a season pass, since the walk-up pass prices are just out of this world at well over $200 per day. This effectively shuts out the uncommitted, those new to the sport, and those who might want to otherwise try it. Will this basically kill off the blood supply, the new skiers? Time will tell. read more

Had a great time skiing here for the first time. Was able to park for free and take the shuttle to the gondola. The gondola was enjoyable, decided to stop at Peak 9. Beautiful place. Only stayed on the greens, but the slopes were well maintained and great for beginners. Minus one star because it's so expensive, and because someone stole my lunch bag with all my pb&j sandwiches. Would definitely come back here again though! read more

Had a great time up at Breck today! The snow was deep and the hollers were loud! There's so much terrain to cover here, it would take you a week for just the groomed trails. Then there's the incredible bowls and hike to terrain. Love the village, there's something for everyone to buy or eat. I personally love Chair 6, Imperial Chair, and most of peak 8 and 9. I still have to wander over to Peak 6 and 10 some day! Free parking is to be had at the Airport lot, and there's a series of free shuttle buses to get you to Peaks 7&8 base. You could also hit the Gondola lot, it's a good choice for a cheap option with no bus ride. read more

The slopes are many and varied. The staff is helpful and friendly. A special shout out to Berkley who helped this old lady get her Epic pass on her phone. Super friendly young lady! read more

We skied two days in a row here (1/11-1/12) and I will admit that on day 1, I wasn't loving it. We arrived and got on the mountain around 12. Which I think was a contributor. The conditions weren't great on some trails - a little icy. Day 2 we got out early and the conditions were great and it changed my opinion. We found that some peaks were definitely busier. Though with covid restrictions, it was never bad at all. My thoughts on the peaks: On Peak 9 the trails were all pretty wide there and in great condition. Many blue cruisers. If you're not looking for very challenging or still learning, that would be a good mountain. Peak 8 was probably our favorite. We felt it had a good mix of trails you could hit. There was a groomed black (Spruce), which was a nice easy black. It's a roller and one section was a little icy but otherwise it was really nice. Then we liked going down Dukes Run. I'm not really into moguls but our son likes them, so it was nice that we could go down Pathfinder together and he did Little Johnny and we came down Dukes run and met him again. That also worked for us to go down Spruce and he came down High Anxiety and could wait at the bottom for him. Peak 7 I liked quite a bit. Again, many blue options once you get to the top. We found some were a little busy. Overall, I was happy with the experience and have already reserved additional days at Breck this year. read more

I went to the ticket office the morning after my son broke his hand to request a refund for the last day of his ski pass. We brought the doctor's note, even though the doctor at St. Anthony's said it would not be required since his hand was in a brace. After 45 minutes of patiently waiting, the customer service agent and her manager indicated that the system was down and, "Do you trust us? We will take care of it when the system comes back on line.. You don't have to wait." We left them with all the information, but no refund was issued. We called and emailed, but haven't received anything other than a runaround. Whatever you do, don't trust anyone at this place! I'm so disappointed! read more

Went skiing on Saturday and the snow was excellent! I'm not exactly sure what was open but it seemed mostly like peak 8 and peak 9. Not much advanced terrain, so easier runs were crowded but it was still a good time. I would say for the amount that was open it wasn't too crowded and lift lines were short. Also the line to the gondola was practically non existent. The garage wasn't full even when we got there at a reasonable hour that wasn't too early. For being early in the season the snow is better than last year at this time for sure. read more

This was my first time visiting this resort and I happened to pick probably the worst day, Christmas Eve. Let me begin by saying, just moved to Colorado, haven't skied in 15 plus years and decided to jump back into it. I did some research ahead of time, and reviews supported Breckenridge being family friendly and a good resort for beginners. Keep in mind, when I was younger I skied Telluride, Park City, and other premium resorts. But this time I had my 21 year old son who wanted to try snow boarding. My first compliant is how difficult it was to navigate from the parking lot to the actual slopes. Many of the staff, had very heavy accents, and it was hard to understand what they were saying. We had to ask several staff, each response different with conflicting directions. We finally arrived at lockers around 2:50 pm and was accosted by Priscilla, (staff from lost and found area) who was not in uniform, but scolded my son on bringing the snowboard into the locker area. We were so frustrated with the lack of staff directing us correctly, that we did not see the sign stating you can't bring snow boards in locker room. After acknowledging our error, Priscilla, (an older white woman) continued to police us, making snide comments, like "you can't put skis in locker" (which was a no brainer) I finally had to say to her that her sarcasm was unnecessary. She continued to watch us until we left the locker area. As a black person, I felt targeted and unwelcome at this resort. Per your website you pride yourself on being family friendly and open to all races of people. That was not my experience. The resort itself is very pretty, but the lack of signage and instructions outside of pulling the map up on your phone, makes it challenging for new skiers. Also the resort felt like an overcrowded sports event, people everywhere, with many people, not skiing, just partying and taking up space. read more

When planning our trip to Denver, skiing was a must do on our itinerary. Our group consisted mostly of beginners so we could have went the cheap route and found something closer to Colorado Springs where we were staying, but most of those places didn't have the wow factor of Breck. The drive was a very scenic two hour trip but the roads were clear and the sun was out which made for a very nice trek out to the mountains. The only negative I had was parking. We got there fairly early, but we had to park at one of the satellite lots and take the shuttle in. Our ski rental spot was a close walk to the gondolas. Lift tickets were pretty spendy, but then again, we were at one of the better resorts in the state. The ride up had great views and we got to see the amazing accomodations on site. I am definitely looking into that for the next trip. Once you reach the top, you see all the runs and lifts. There are eateries and shops up there as well. I had way too much confidence prior to getting up there and I was quickly proven wrong. Once I snapped on the skis, I came to the conclusion that lessons are a must for beginners. We all felt the same way. Some of us gave it a real try, others like myself got comfy at the bar. Very expensive learning experience! I am definitely not counting skiing out. It looks like a blast and I will be taking lessons the next go round. To be continued.... read more

Where to begin? First: I LOVE this community, and the mountain! Thus far after two snowboarding trips (6 days each) to this area I have found Breckenridge to be one of the friendliest and fun. The runs are a blast, with tons of blues and black diamond runs as well as some good greens to "warm up" on. Everyone I've come across that works at Breck have been super nice, knowledgeable, and all around fun to chat with. The mountain is clean, and even with the crowds is easy to navigate. The shops and lodges on the mountain have nearly anything you could want/need while your there. Parking is easy, AND won't cost you an arm and a leg. The town of Breckenridge is fun to walk through with plenty of shops, restaurants, bars, rentals, and a few condos/airbnb/VRBO options as well. Parking is both paid lots or street parking, unless you've hot a condo or hotel...Either way, you can snag a spot and check out the town! Which, I HIGHLY recommend ;) read more

We love Breck spring, summer, winter and fall. Truly and year round resort for outdoor enthusiasts! Breckenridge is often referred to as "America's Ski Resort" for good reason. A grand mix of terrain designed to bring every level of skier something to enjoy. High speed lifts. World-class lodging and facilities that are constantly being upgraded. Options for all capabilities from beginner to advanced to adaptive needs. Transportation network to the resort. Gondolas. Ski rentals. Terrain park. Activities all year round! A recent summer trip had us staying in town, walking to the gondola for a free lift to the base of peak 8. From there lie a seemingly endless list of choices for kids and adults. Bike races. Zip line type activities. Mazes-and more for the kids. Hiking. High speed 6-chair to peak 8. Tour brand new condo options. Eats. Drinks. Outdoor seating and the list goes on... The downside is the agonizing drive through the mountains with a million other outdoor lovers every weekend. Go off cycle and it will feel like you won the lottery!! Regardless of season, Breckenridge is a great week or weekend destination for anyone. Oh and don't forget the bug spray and an umbrella just in case the afternoon showers come through. read more

One of my favorite mountains in Colorado. Beautiful views, great slopes, and lots of activities. Not much more you could ask for. I'm always in awe when I'm in Breckenridge. No matter where you are on the mountain, you always have a gorgeous view. I love that there are so many trails and that there is something for everyone no matter their ability. The snow has always been really awesome, and the trails are groomed, but still have some good powder. Depending on the amount of snow, there is sometimes also the option to hike up from peak 6 to try a little bit of uncharted territory. I also really love the town the ski resort is situated in. Lots of cute shops, breweries, restaurants, etc. to check out. We have some friends who go out early, and finish early, so it's nice that there is plenty for them to do while we snowboard and ski. Make sure you note that the slopes close at 4 even if there is a lot of light out. If you're paying for a day pass, go early and get your money's worth. read more

Overcrowded even on a weekday, and over woke like every Vail owned resort, this is a huge mountain with many long runs, including many that are perfect for bombing. Breck in woke had more groomed trails than Keystone or Vail by a bit and it was really cool to be so high up on the mountain when I took a lone trip on the T-bar early (before it got overcrowded shortly after, and not worth the 20 minute wait..this was a Wednesday btw). It snowed the night before, so the tree skiing and the bowl skiing was a blast. I got fresh pow pow all to meself after getting off the T-Bar (pictured) and that was so nice to float through. There are some really steep areas all over Breck in woke, often thickly covered in trees and they were a blast to slalom through. read more

Definitely overpriced once you got to to the top of the gondola. The gondola was free but then it was $23 ea to ride 1 round trip up the next lift to the top.

Seriously understaffed and unsafe. Lifts listed as open were not running, the running lifts were understaffed and snowflake midpoint lift was running completely un-attended! Then runs leading to closed lifts were not blocked off resulting in us and (many others) having to hike up and across the mountain to get to a run that exited to our housing. On top of that we did not see a single ski patrol on ski or snowmobile. However, the most frustrating part was the 2hrs on the phone wasted trying to get a refund, I was constantly transferred and disconnected between Epic Pass, Vail Resorts, & Breckenridge Ticket office. I get lots of companies are struggling with staffing right now, but this was downright dangerous. Management should not open if they can't safely serve their patrons Awful experience, this place has gone downhill quickly. read more

We loved Breck! Very organized, good customer service and great skiing. We wish it wasn't too far away but can't wait for next year!

The accommodations are pretty good and the staff are generally friendly. My biggest gripe is I took a beginner ski class and I was super excited to learn having been snowboarding for a while. The instructor was terrible. He shouldn't be an instructor. This person did not know the value of positive reinforcement when it comes to teaching. The instructor for the most part didn't help fix my mistakes by telling me what I can do but instead just kept pointing out what I'm doing wrong, in a rather annoyed voice. It's our first time, if you don't have patience don't teach beginners. Then I almost fell backwards and a stranger soonest helped me out by extending their pole, meanwhile my instructor gave out a loud "ugh" in watching me struggle. To top it off, I fell due to another person in front and another instructor singled me out and blamed me for the entire incident. I wish I took the young kids class, they seemed to be having fun. read more
