Tree Runs in Breckenridge

Deep in the forest, dodging trees, heart pounding, legs burning, waist-deep in powder, and a grin you can’t contain. This is what pure mountain joy feels like. There is nothing better than finding untouched powder stashes hidden among the trees at Breckenridge. If you’re a tree run fanatic, check out a few of our favorites at Breckenridge.

PEAK 6 | Wonderland and Elysian Fields

Known for its blend of intermediate-friendly glades and wide-open bowls, Peak 6 gives skiers plenty of space to roam. Wonderland and Elysian Fields offer gentle tree spacing with soft snow that lasts long after a storm. Access them easily from the Kensho SuperChair for sweeping mountain views and calm, flowing turns through the trees.

PEAK 7 | Ore Bucket and Angel’s Rest

Peak 7 combines rolling terrain with glades that balance excitement and ease. Ore Bucket is a great warm-up for intermediate skiers looking to test their tree-skiing skills, while Angel’s Rest delivers a slightly steeper challenge. Both areas are accessible from the Independence SuperChair and provide smooth transitions between open runs and gladed terrain.

PEAK 8 | Contest Bowl and Beyond

At the heart of Breckenridge, Peak 8 offers some of the mountain’s most dynamic tree skiing. Contest Bowl, off the Colorado SuperChair, features tighter lines and quick turns that advanced skiers will love. If you’re searching for untouched powder, hike a short distance from the Horseshoe Bowl T-Bar to find secluded stashes surrounded by stunning alpine views.

PEAK 9 | The Windows

The Windows is a local favorite for good reason. Its perfectly spaced glades let you flow through the forest with rhythm and speed, and the snow here tends to stay soft thanks to its shaded aspect. Access The Windows from the E-Chair, then drop in for a quintessential Breckenridge tree-skiing experience

PEAK 10 | Mustang and Dark Rider

For expert skiers, Peak 10 is where things get serious. Mustang and Dark Rider deliver steep pitches, tight trees, and deep powder pockets that challenge even the most seasoned riders. These runs are accessible from the Falcon SuperChair and are best tackled with confidence and strong control. The reward is some of the best advanced tree skiing in Colorado.

Safety Reminder
