Copper Mountain is easily my favorite mountain. (At least at the time of writing this review) This…read moremountain is a special place for me. I became an expert on this mountain and found new meanings to my love of snowboarding on some great solo days. Great time for anyone of all skill levels, though there is more expert terrain than beginner. Run recomendations: Andy's Encore is the perfect run for anyone at the blue level and even those working up to it. It's a great place to practice new tricks and techniques, and on days where it isn't too busy, the perfect run for catching some solid speed on a controlled and groomed section of the mountain. There is plenty of fun to be had at the Resolution Bowl for those comfortable with more challenging terrain. Stay safe, have fun, and shred on!

We booked with this school for adult ski lessons. Our instructor was awful. He did not introduce…read morehimself or bother to learn our names or faces. When it came time to practice skiing, I was struggling to move, and he left me to figure it out. When I got to the area he was at with the rest of the group, I asked him to catch me up, and he said just to watch the others. Even after practicing and watching him help others, he still would not help me. I sat to the side, frustrated, and he never checked on me once. I was able to get a refund from the school. The reason I give 3 stars is that this school has very kind instructors who helped me when my fiancé was teaching me. It was not a one-off experience because my friend, who was in the ski lessons with me, was also told to just learn by watching others. If we are paying $150, our instructor should be more hands-on. I saw he was being monitored after my complaint, but he still treated the students the same.

I was in Breck for a work trip and had the option to choose one of several activities, and I picked…read morethe snowcat ride because I had never been on one before and wanted to try something new. Our group ran a little late and I ended up being the only person who showed up, and the staff could not have been more patient or accommodating about it. I was fortunate enough to get what essentially felt like a private ride, which made the whole experience feel very personal. They give you a walkie talkie so they can share updates and explain what you're looking at along the way, which I really appreciated because it made the ride feel intentional and educational rather than just scenic transportation. The snowcat itself is super comfortable and cozy. There are seat belts, thick blankets in the seating area, and the heat kicks on so you are warm the whole time. The cabin has large glass panels on all sides, so you can see the forest, the mountains, and the groomed trails without being exposed to the cold. The ride is very gentle and smooth, and they move at a reasonable pace while being thoughtful about cross country skiers on the trail, stopping when needed to let people pass. I found myself completely mesmerized watching the grooming attachment in front reshape the snow and lay down those perfectly clean parallel ski tracks. We stopped at a historic cabin that had been relocated and rebuilt years ago, and it was cozy inside with a guest book and bits of history to read. I ended up wanting to get back into the snowcat fairly quickly because it was so warm and comfortable in there, and the views from inside were amazing. It was quiet, beautiful, and surprisingly peaceful, and I came away with some great photos on my film camera and a super memorable first snowcat experience.

A day pass is $30, which is a little pricey but ultimately worth it. You can rent snowshoes or Nordic skis for a similar price. My friends and I came here for snowshoeing and had a great time! They have a map which clearly marks the skiing and snowshoeing trails along with their level of difficulty. We did the willow (easy) snowshoeing trail which took about 40 minutes and offered beautiful views, a route under the gondolas and being in the trees with lots of cute squirrels. We left for breakfast and ended up taking the snowshoes on a different trail in town before returning them. The Nordic center is a great place to access fun winter activities in Breckenridge and worth checking out if you're in town!

There was one instructor and one volunteer with my son during every lesson. He had about 5 lessons this past season with 3 different instructors and they were all amazing. My son loves music and everyone of them either had music playing the whole time or would sing as they went down the hill. I'm excited to say that near the end of the season he was able to go on his own for awhile. Thank you again to everyone that works with this program. We will definitely be back next season as well as we will check out some of your summer programs.

Beautiful nevertheless!

I have this list of resorts to ski at that I have been checking off over the years. I feel like…read moreBreckenridge 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.

Henry was an awesome instructor and my kids loved him. He was very engaging and kept them interested the entire day, we had to peel our kids off the mountain!

The box fans were nice as the unit got stuffy during the day (though I wish Copper Mountain hadn't felt the need to move large objects with forklifts and bobcats after 9 p.m. BOTH nights). The unit faces the highway, not the mountain, but we weren't bothered by any traffic noise and my toddler enjoyed watching people riding paddle boats on the lake.
