    We had a nice experience from the people at the shop, but once we went on our bike ride from…read moreBreckenridge to Frisco is where our experience ended on a poor note. We followed all the instructions and returned and locked up the bikes in Frisco and my daughter in law called the shop and they said the shuttle driver was leaving the shop and would pick us up and bring us back. We waited about 20 minutes and saw the shuttle pull up and went out and said we were there to be taken back. The shuttle driver would hardly speak to us and said he wasn't there to bring us back. We explained we had our 18 month old grand daughter and had just spoken to the shop and were told he would bring us back. We asked him to call the shop and confirm. He made a call to someone and then proceeded to ignore us. I approached him and said we have been standing here for 10 minutes while you were on the phone and you continued to ignore us. HE said you have to take the municipal bus back to Breckenridge and would not help us. I went and told my family of five we would have to take the bus back instead. As we walked out we were uncertain of where to find the bus and the shuttle driver was back in the van and wouldn't even tell us where to catch the bus. I wrote to Mountain Wave and told them of the experience and never heard back from them. Really sad because this was the 3rd or 4th time we had rented from them, but we will never go back to them. There are too many bike shops in Breckenridge to put up with this type service. Brook Smith-Dallas, TX

    July 24, 2023. Monday. Morning…read more This business is in the heart of downtown Breckenridge. It's conveniently right by the start of the bike path to Frisco. My wife and I rented two bikes on-line from them. Make sure you rent on-line because you get cheaper rates. We rented an e-bike for her and a carbon fiber road bike for me ($60 each). The technician adjusted both of these to our ride height and provided bike locks and helmets free of charge. My technician oiled the chain and made sure the pedals were firmly screwed in. He had me sit on the bike to make sure of the seat height. We biked from Breckenridge, around Dillon Reservoir, and back. A total of thirty-five miles in one day. This was a beautiful ride, and I would highly recommend it to anyone. See attached photos. The bike path had been groomed and you can tell Colorado cares about its bikers. The only dangerous part of our entire ride happened on the east side of Dillon Reservoir, where the bike path became a downhill road with lots of bumps and holes. For three miles we went downhill and the shoulder is non-existent. We started at 9:30 AM and were done about 3 PM. The bikes held up nicely and if the miles intimidate you then definitely rent an e-bike. You still have to pedal but it kicks in to boost you on the uphill ascents. Rent from Carvers for the excellent service and custom fitting.

    Breckenridge was the first place I ever skied out West, and it started a lifelong love of skiing…read moreand 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.

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!

    I reserved four e-bikes for Sunday, June 14, and specified bike sizes--including a small bike for…read moreone rider--more than three weeks in advance. When we arrived, there was only one employee working (Mike) and another group ahead of us, so we waited about 15 minutes before the rental process could begin. Once we were helped, we were informed that the small bike we had reserved was unavailable. Mike then spent roughly 30 minutes trying to repair another small bike in the back. After he brought it out, we did a test ride in the parking lot, but the bike immediately displayed an error code. We were then told it would not provide any pedal-assist power. At that point, we gave up on getting a working bike from Breckenridge Ski & Sport and went across the street to another rental shop. Remarkably, they had a properly sized bike ready for us almost immediately. Once we got on the trail, the three bikes rented from Breckenridge Ski & Sport all felt noticeably underpowered compared to the bike from the other shop, which easily outperformed them throughout the ride. The online reservation process was straightforward, but the experience at the store was frustrating and disappointing. Reserving specific bike sizes weeks in advance should ensure those bikes are available and in working condition when customers arrive. I appreciate Mike's efforts to solve the problem, but the lack of preparation and equipment readiness significantly impacted our experience.

    What's iconic about this Centennial State is the fact that it has numerous and stunning alpine…read morelakes. That's why we Coloradans feel lucky to have close access to these crystal clear lakes only a short drive away from our homes. Well, after living in the state for 28 years, I belatedly had a chance to climb up to see the beauty of Mohawk Lakes just several days ago. Due to the unprecedentedly low snowfall the past season (2025/2026), the lower Mohawk Lake's water level was quite low. This was by no means a disappointing view in any way; it still was emitting the beauty of a clear lake image that calmed us the hikers. We got tempted to sit right by the lakeside and start reading a great book although we didn't have one (lol). Two beautiful waterfalls treated us on the way to the top which we, of course, took advantage of by walking around them and snapping photos. Watching the rushing waters invigorated our spirits. Upper Mohawk Lake was the absolute treat to state the least. This lake deserves far better expression than "beautiful" or "stunning" as those words were quite ordinary for it. "Splendid" might be a bit better to use to describe its incredible depth of the character and the charm. Well, you will have to see it for yourself; mere words or even well-taken photos don't justify how gorgeous it is. Late August was a bit too late for the colorful wild flowers and yet it wasn't completely devoid of them as we saw some dark pink and white on the way. The trail gets a bit confusing during the 4.5 miles walk. You might feel a bit lost due to the lack of signs (we did too) especially when we got closer to the lakes (so I would say the last 0.75 miles or a mile) but we kind of followed other hikers to stay on the road. Don't worry; you'll get there! The Canada Jays or Gray/Grey Jays, fluffy mostly white with some black, were quite friendly! They flew over to us where we almost got to pet them! When they come close to you, stick your index finger. They might come and lightly and playfully bite it but it won't hurt. They are absolutely adorable and made our hike so memorable.

    The lakes were beautiful and the falls were also very beautiful. The hike was challenging but…read moredoable and not too hard. Good shade in a lot of places but lots of mosquitoes as well you need bug spray for sure! Really crowded but less crowded than a fourteener.
