My dad was a high school teacher in Boise, Idaho and the founder of the high school rafting club. As a child, I grew up tagging along on rafting trips that soon fueled my love for all things outdoors. Like most mountain-goers, you can find me biking, hiking, or camping in and around Colorado. I come from Boise, Idaho but attended high school and college in Virginia graduating with a Communication and Business degree from James Madison University. I moved to Summit County in the fall of 2022, where I've come to learn the adventures here are endless! After taking the spring of 2024 to hike 280 miles on the Arizona Trail, I fell in love with Breckenridge. The area perfectly combines an unbeatable winter, exquisite summer trails, and a lively downtown. When I’m not off in the mountains, I enjoy playing music, catching concerts, and enjoying the occasional brewery sesh with good friends.

I hail from the suburbs of New York, although I attended the University at Buffalo, where my passion for outdoor adventure really began to take root. I moved to Breckenridge during the 15/16 winter season, where the adventures were never-ending. After logging just shy of 100 cumulative days in one ski season, some would call my love of skiing and boarding an addiction. During the summer months, I like to torture myself with scenic hikes, mellow climbing, and some good ‘ole car camping. When I’m not on the hill, I enjoy photography, painting, reading, and hanging with friends (and their dogs). But don’t let any of that throw you off; I’ve managed to engage in these activities leisurely and with a cucumber sour crush in hand!

With the gorgeous terrain and a charming town, it’s hard to think of a time that is not good to come. However, weekends can be hectic sometimes and offer challenges that make maximizing fun difficult. What’s the solution? Come on weekdays. Top Five Reasons To Visit Breckenridge on a Fall WeekdayAnna Bowman / September 24, 2025 Let’s be honest. You don’t really need an excuse to visit Breckenridge. But if you’re choosing between a weekend or weekday trip this fall, here are five reasons why weekdays come out on top. Skip the Jam, Enjoy the Journey – No one wants to start their mountain getaway sitting in traffic on I-70. Weekday drives are smoother, faster, and far more scenic. You'll spend less time behind the wheel and more time breathing in fresh mountain air. It is about an hour and a half flat to Breck from Denver on a weekday. Midweek Means More for Less – Looking for that perfect cabin or slopeside stay? Weekdays offer better prices, more availability, and great last-minute options. It’s the smart way to stay in style without paying peak-season rates. No Lines, Just Good Times – Everything’s easier when the crowds are smaller. You can grab a table at your favorite local restaurant, take advantage of happy hour deals, and go on scenic bike rides without the hassle. Trails to Yourself – Fall hiking in Breckenridge is stunning, especially with golden aspens lighting up the trails. If you prefer peace and quiet over packed paths, come during the week. You’ll get better views at a more relaxed pace. Peace, Please – Weekends are lively, but sometimes you just want a little space. On weekdays, Breckenridge slows down in the best way. You can enjoy the charm, scenery, and spa activities without the noise or long lines. So, why wait for the weekend? Fall in Breck is beautiful every day, but weekdays give you more of what you came for. Less traffic, local deals, and room to breathe. Take the time off, you won’t regret it. --- - Published: 2025-09-12 - Modified: 2025-09-30 - URL: https://bestofbreck.com/first-time-ski-trip-guide-to-breckenridge/ - Categories: Breckenridge Skiing - Tags: breckenridge first time skiers, breckenridge ski guide, Breckenridge Ski Resort, breckenridge ski trail guide, breckenridge skiing for beginners, first time skiing in breckenridge, Laurel Coffman With 2,908 skiable acres, 187 trails, and 235 lifts Breckenridge Ski Resort offers a variety of terrain for all levels from beginner to expert.

Staying and playing at 9,600 feet above sea level can definitely work up an appetite. And when you have high altitude "hanger", there's only one thing that'll suffice: a big, juicy hamburger. With so many delicious restaurants to try in Breckenridge, you don't want to suffer paralysis by analysis, let the Best of Breckenridge team help guide you towards the best hamburger in town. This became a hotly debated topic at Best of Breck HQ, so we had to make this a team edition blog and call out multiple burgers in Breckenridge for you to try. So, without further ado, here are the best hamburgers you can find in Breckenridge, Colorado: Au French Onion Burger Restaurant: Aurum Chosen by: Lauren The French Onion Burger at Aurum easily earns its place on our list of the best burgers in Breckenridge. This savory standout layers caramelized onion jam, gruyère, roasted garlic aioli, lettuce, tomato, and house made pickles for a flavor combination that’s anything but ordinary. Served with crisp house fries, it's a guest favorite we think about long after the last bite. Even better? You’ll find it on the happy hour menu daily 4–6 p. m. at a discounted price. The Western Burger Restaurant: Empire Burger Chosen by: Chris The Western Burger delivers a bold, satisfying bite with a balance of sweet, smoky, and tangy flavors. The BBQ sauce pairs well with the sharp cheddar and savory Applewood bacon, while the mustard adds just enough zing to cut through the richness. Grilled onions and pickles round things out with a bit of crunch. It leans a little heavy overall, but the flavor payoff is well worth it. The crispy hand-cut fries and mango chutney sauce were a table favorite.

While Breck might be known for the beautiful blank canvas of snow that falls in the winter time, from Aug. 15–24, downtown and the surrounding trails come alive with mind-bending art, outdoor performances, and unexpected moments of magic. One of this year’s highlights? SPARK. This isn’t your average light show or even fireworks. Artist Daan Roosegaarde brings thousands of floating, biodegradable sparks into the night sky—like watching stars drift through the air. It’s totally silent, totally mesmerizing, and happens just three nights only, Aug. 15–17, outside the Riverwalk Center. Pro tip: bring a blanket, get cozy on the lawn and settle in for some stargazing reimagined. And while SPARK lights up the night, Trail Mix brings the beat to the backcountry. As you wander through local trails, you’ll stumble upon live music and pop-up performances tucked into the trees. It’s like a choose-your-own-adventure hike with a soundtrack—surprising, soulful, and very Breck. Need a moment to find your center?

The Ultimate Guide to Breckenridge’s Summer Festivals & Events August 1, 2025 / Lauren Parker Parking in Breckenridge Before driving into town, be sure to check the official event information page. We highly recommend carpooling, biking, walking, or using the Free Ride bus system to avoid parking altogether. However, we understand that isn’t always convenient. If you choose to drive to Breckenridge for a festival or event, here are a few helpful tips: Two-hour free parking is available in select areas along French Street and in designated lots. Download the Passport Parking app for convenient payment and to monitor your remaining time. We strongly suggest setting an alarm on your phone or watch to remind you when it’s time to extend your parking session. Visit the Breck Park website to explore parking lot locations, view pricing by area, and check for closures. General Do's and Don'ts DO Take advantage of free transportation. Avoid the hassle of parking, save some money, and help the environment. Wear sunscreen and other sun protection. With Main Street sitting at 9,600 feet in elevation, the sun is strong! Check the weather forecast. Mountain weather can change on a dime. Toss in a rain jacket or umbrella if there's even a slight chance of clouds or rain. DON'T Park illegally or without checking signs. Many homes are close to town. Double check that you're not blocking a driveway or parking in an employee-only lot. Approach wildlife. It's highly common in the summer to see a moose enjoying a snack around town or a fox crossing the street. Take photos and enjoy the moment—from a safe distance! Litter. Help keep our streets and trails trash-free by using the trash and recycling bins around town. What to Bring and Other Things to Consider Layers.

Wondering when the best conditions are at Breck? How about when the different Peaks open? We've got you covered! Lining the mountainscape above the town of Breckenridge is the aptly named Breckenridge Ski Resort. Spanning across 5 peaks of the Ten Mile range, it is nearly impossible to not be in awe when you drive down the highway and see the town, mountains, and resort for the first time. With Breckenridge’s base elevation of 9600 ft above sea level, you can often find amazing snow conditions and lots of sunshine. Although, different times of the year present different terrain, conditions, and things to know about your time on the slopes. Having lived in Summit County for nearly ten years, let me share some helpful knowledge on what to expect when visiting the resort. Early Season: Mid-November to Mid-December. Breckenridge typically opens the second weekend of November. While not the first resort to open in Colorado or even Summit County, they usually have some of the best early-season snow. With recent snowmaking systems upgrades, the “White Ribbon of Death” days are gone. Opening Day is a great time to visit as it is full of energy, and the town is still waking up from the off-season. Early in the season, Breckenridge Ski Resort’s dedicated snowmaking and grooming teams follow a standard pattern of terrain openings: Open the mountain at Peak 8 with the Colorado chair and a few trails underneath it, usually a green and blue level run. After Colorado chair, with natural snowfall and favorable snowmaking conditions, the Rocky Mountain Super Chair will shortly open. The resort team usually aims to have Peak 9 with its long mellow sloping groomers open by Thanksgiving. For the first big holiday of the season, the Quicksilver, Beaver Run, and Mercury chairlifts are spinning. During this time, more and more terrain will open from natural snowfall, but be cautious on ungroomed runs as... --- - Published: 2024-11-18 - Modified: 2025-04-03 - URL: https://bestofbreck.com/family-skiing-family-sized-savings-a-locals-tips/ - Categories: Breckenridge Skiing - Tags: Breckenridge Discounts, Breckenridge family discounts, Breckenridge family vacation, Family savings, Family ski trip savings, family skiing A Breckenridge local's tips (and a warning!) for saving and enjoying a family ski vacation. Family Skiing and Family Sized Savings—A Local’s TipsNovember 18, 2024 / Ginny Vietti I grew up visiting Breckenridge on Spring Breaks and marvel at the poignancy of some of those memories. Maybe not typical of a ski vacation memory, I clearly recall my first purchase of “art” at the seasoned age of 12, (a framed, screen-printed, pink and purple unicorn), that I purchased with my savings in one of the multi-story, iconic brick malls on Main Street. The waxy scent of screen printed t-shirts produced on site in one of the many t-shirt shops prickled my nose as I next decided between a green circle, blue square or black diamond patch that my mom would sew onto my Rosignal jacket (I went with “most difficult” as encouraged by my dad). Ski days went by in a blur of tree runs that terrified my mom and competitions to see who could spray the most snow on the other siblings’ skis at rest stops. We would lunch (mostly brown-bagging it) at the old Bergenhof day lodge (now the Grand Colorado on Peak 8). Sometimes I would be pampered with “exotic” foods while we crisped on the deck in the March sunshine. Lunch treats included strawberry Yoplait, (yogurt wasn’t yet common in my Michigan hometown), followed by the extravagance of a full-sized Snickers (the Powerbar of the 80s). I’m lucky enough to now live and work where these, and many more, memories were made. I love sharing ways for others to create their own Breckenridge memories of a lifetime – and how to do it on a budget. As a parent of a “Summit County Kid” (which means he prefers shorts year-round has no idea how good he’s got it), I enjoy revealing activity insights with people who realize just how unique this... --- - Published: 2024-11-07 - Modified: 2025-01-16 - URL: https://bestofbreck.com/happy-breckenridge-opening-day-2024/ - Categories: Top Events in Breckenridge, Colorado: Your Ultimate Guide - Tags: 2025 Ski Season, Breckenridge Events, Breckenridge is open, Breckenridge Ski Resort, Breckenridge Skiing, CodyMendoza, Opening Day 2024, Ultimate Guide to Breckenridge Ski Trips and Adventures, Winter 2024-25, Winter 24/25 Opening Day is a special time, kicking off months of snow flurries, warm drinks, powder days, and the thrill of being back on the mountain.

Breckenridge is open for the 2024/25 ski and snowboard season! After a beautiful summer and extended fall, we are back on snow and couldn’t be happier. Opening Day is a special time, kicking off months of snow flurries, warm drinks, powder days, and the thrill of being on the mountain once again. Whether it’s your first time or your fiftieth, Opening Day at Breckenridge Ski Resort is an event filled with excitement, nostalgia, and community spirit. Skiers and snowboarders assemble on Opening Day 2019. For the Best of Breckenridge team and snow diehards alike, Opening Day at the local ski resort is like being transported back to Christmas morning as a kid. Weeks before, the air begins to chill, dustings of snow cover the mountain tops, ski passes are discussed and purchased, trip plans are made, and preseason workouts begin. All this builds anticipation for the upcoming snow season, reaching a crescendo on the first day the lifts start turning. The Best Of Breckenridge team loves observing the tradition of joining in on the Opening Day fun. Here they are at the start of the 2022/23 season. The night before, gear is pulled out of closets, skis and snowboards are hastily tuned, and alarms are set for an early start.

Pre-Season Ski Exercises - Team EditionOctober 16, 2024 / Bec Metras Pre-Season Ski Exercises – Team Edition Ski season is fast approaching, and the Best of Breckenridge team is gearing up! We’ve come together to share our favorite pre-season exercises to help get you ready for another epic year of fresh powder and fun on the slopes. Follow our lead for the ultimate ski workout! Lauren: I ride snow with: All Mountain Black Crows Favorite terrain: Fresh deep pow–duh! Taking a few minutes to stretch at the start of the season can make all the difference! Your body will be using muscles it hasn't engaged in months, especially your legs and back. Prepping with some warm-up stretches helps ensure you're ready for a full day of skiing—those squats on the mountain will feel so much better when your muscles are properly primed! Bec: I ride snow with: Atomic Bent 110 Skis Favorite terrain: Trees, glades, big mountain Hiking 14ers is my favorite pre-season exercise. The primary benefit it has for ski season prep is cardiovascular fitness. The endurance required for hiking 14,000 foot peaks in Colorado will easily translate to long, fun-filled days on the ski hill. In addition to cardio benefits, hiking 14ers throughout the summer helps with leg strength. It targets muscle groups such as the quads, hamstrings, & calves which are crucial for skiing. Colin: I ride snow with: NVR Summer Proto Synthesis and Westbound Favorite terrain: Wide open bowls on spring powder days My favorite pre-season exercises are to enjoy a well-rounded summer full of biking, hiking/running with my dog, and all the chill days on the lake in between. I like to establish a more consistent rec center routine a month or two out of opening day to activate/work on certain muscles that are important... --- - Published: 2024-10-16 - Modified: 2025-01-16 - URL: https://bestofbreck.com/winter-in-breck-no-skis-necessary/ - Categories: Breckenridge Winter Activities Who let the dogs out?

Summit County offers 9,877 skiable acres of inbound terrain, so the variety of skiing and riding that is available to snow enthusiasts is almost infinite. Each of these ski areas offer a little something for everyone, but also have characteristics that make each one unique in Summit County. Breckenridge Known for a well-rounded mix of terrain that leans a little toward expert/extreme. Breckenridge is so expansive that beginners are skiing easy runs on the bottom of Peak 9 and don’t even know about the heart pounding extreme terrain just a couple thousand feet above them: Imperial Bowl – The classic, accessible expert run at Breckenridge. Ride the Independence SuperChair to the top of Peak 9. Do the short (but lung-busting) hike to the ridge and take in the best view in Summit County before dropping into this long but wide open black diamond that runs next to the lift. Lake Chutes – The Lake Chutes are located a very short hike to the skier’s right from the top of the Imperial Express, and are comprised of that steep wall you can see when looking up and just to the left of the lift. Starting at almost 13,000 feet, the Lake Chutes are the highest inbound runs at Breckenridge and one of the steepest. The Burn – The Burn makes up a good bit of the north side of Peak 10.

With the gorgeous terrain and a charming town, it’s hard to think of a time that is not good to come. However, weekends can be hectic sometimes and offer challenges that make maximizing fun difficult. What’s the solution? Come on weekdays. Top Five Reasons to Visit Breckenridge on a Summer Weekday Like you need a reason to come to Breck anyways. With the gorgeous terrain and a charming town, it’s hard to think of a time that is not good to come. However, weekends can be hectic sometimes and offer challenges that make maximizing fun difficult. What’s the solution? Come on weekdays. If you can swing it, it’s even worth taking a day or two off work to manage it. If you are wondering why you should take days off to come to Breckenridge on weekdays here are five reasons: Save time – We often hear of visitors from Denver and other surrounding areas leaving their homes around 6 a. m. on Saturday mornings to avoid peak season traffic. Although CDOT is making improvements to I-70, weekend traffic is almost guaranteed. Decrease your chances of sitting in traffic by visiting on a weekday! It is about an hour and a half flat to Breck from Denver on a weekday. Stay better – Visiting during the week means more lodging options and better prices, especially if you are planning a trip close to time. If you're looking for a spacious "home away from home" close to the mountain, save some money by staying on weekdays. The Best of Breck team loves to offer our visitors discounts all year-round! Live Large– When you visit Breckenridge on the weekend, you'll have access to score happy hour deals and reservations without fighting off a crowd. Find parking easier, get in and out of the grocery store faster, and score bike, or water sport rentals on short notice!

The Best of Breck Team ventured around the county and did some “research” on where to get the best hangover cure in a glass in Breckenridge. We turned to our own taste buds and reached out to locals so we could give you the inside scoop. Here’s who made the cut (not in any particular order): Robbie’s Tavern | Base of Peak 8 | Breckenridge Ski Resort GC8 Bloody – Three Olives Vodka with pickle, pepperoncini, olive and bacon skewer - $17 Robbie’s is a brand new, locally owned slopeside bistro with unparalleled views. Located right at the base of Peak 8 within the Grand Colorado on Peak 8, Robbie’s is the new hot spot to grab a drink après skiing. We checked out their bloody as advised by some locals, and were blown away. It was seriously good; the perfect mix of vodka and tomato juice, perfect spice, and topped with BACON. Yeah, bacon. The Canteen | 208 N Main St | Breckenridge Garden Bloody Mary – Three Olives Vodka and a spicy tomato juice with what really seems like the whole garden. - $16. 50 The Canteen is a local's favorite with a HUGE Bloody Mary served in a literal canteen cup. Make sure you carve out some time to drink this whole canteen. Just when you think it can't get any better, it tastes almost better than it looks. Also, don't forget to order a mini Coors Sidecar for only $1. 75 extra!

Top 9 Activities at Lake Dillon Meckenzie Donnell / Updated May 29, 2024 The Town of Dillon was originally established in 1881 where Lake Dillon currently sits. The town was relocated twice and in 1963 a dam was constructed and Lake Dillon was created to supply the City of Denver's water. Not only does Lake Dillon supply most of the water for Denver, it also spans across three Summit County towns and offers a day full of fun activities on the water. Here's our rundown of all the activities to enjoy while spending a day on and around Lake Dillon. Rent a Boat The Frisco Marina and the Dillon Marina offer boat rentals by the hour. You can choose from different sized pontoon boats or dust off those sailing skills and rent a Catalina sailboat. Cruise the lake and set sail surrounded by views of the Ten Mile Range and Gore Range. Go Fishing What's more memorable than a day on the lake fishing with friends and family? You can bring your own gear or rent poles and tackle from the Frisco Marina and wade on the shores. Another option is a guided fishing trip on a pontoon boat. If you're looking for a guided fishing adventure, book your trip with Alpine Fishing Adventures. Take a Scenic Boat Tour Want to enjoy Lake Dillon without renting a boat? Book a guided tour around the lake and kick back with the beautiful Ten Mile mountain range.

Among the various fishing spots in Summit County, a trip to Lake Dillon with your fishing pole should definitely be on your next trip itinerary! Fishing in Lake DillonBy Lauren Parker / May 28, 2024 Did you know that amidst the beautiful Rocky Mountains in Breckenridge lies a hidden gem that's perfect for some family fun? Lake Dillon, the largest body of water in Summit County, is an awesome spot for fishing that often gets overlooked. Built in 1963 to store water for Denver and the Front Range, Lake Dillon offers 27 miles of fishable shoreline and two lively marinas that host exciting races and regattas. But that's not all! With a diverse range of fish species, including Rainbow and Brown Trout, Kokanee Salmon and Arctic Char in Lake Dillon you'll have plenty of options to choose from. Don't have a boat? No worries! Shore fishing is also an excellent option. Park your car at various marked points around the lake and fish to your heart's content. Worms are the best bait for shore fishing, and it's said that the best time to fish is between mid-May and early July. Keep your line tight for the big ones, and if you're up for a challenge, troll a Rapala lure near the feeder creeks of the Blue, Snake or Ten Mile dump into the lake for large trout. Renting a boat is another fantastic way to explore the lake and fish. Whether you catch anything or not, the peaceful and scenic experience of being out on the water is worth it. And if you're lucky, you might even reel in some big brown trout, Kokanee or Walleye Pike in the later season. Remember, if you're 15 or older, you'll need a fishing license, but you can easily pick one up at various locations throughout Breckenridge and Summit County. Overall, fishing at Lake Dillon is a fun and rewarding activity that the whole family can enjoy.

As winter slips away and the sun shines brighter and warmer at 9600 feet above sea level all that snow begins to melt and flow into creeks, ponds, lakes, waterfalls, and babbling brooks which eventually converge into the mighty Colorado River. And all that running water presents a great opportunity for summer fun and adventure: Whitewater rafting!

These on-water adventures are perfect for thrills, taking in the scenery of beautiful canyons, fishing, and feeling that Colorado sunshine.

If you'd like to get around Breckenridge and Summit County on two wheels but need a little assistance, give electric biking a try. This mode of transportation has quickly gained popularity and is an eco-friendly way to sightsee in the high country. Come take a ride with us and see what it's all about! What is an Electric Bike? An electric bicycle, commonly known as an e-bike, is a bike that is equipped with an electric motor that gives you a boost while you're pedaling. You still have traditional bike gears, but you can opt to add a little juice whenever you need some assistance. While climbing hills at 9,600’ we can tell you we appreciated the extra help! How Does it Work? Before you get going, you’ll turn on a power switch and a display panel. The display panel is conveniently located on the handlebars and shows you your speed, charge level and pedal assist level. On the left handlebar you can control your pedal assist level, while on the right handlebar you have your traditional gears. The pedal assist levels of zero to five correlate with how much power you are relying on from the motor compared to your pedaling. At zero, you receive no power; while at level five you receive maximum power and need to do little to no pedaling. The higher level of power you use, the more of the battery charge you will use. Fun fact: With pedal assist, bikes can go up to 20 miles per hour and a charged bike can last up to 45 miles per trip on average! Where We Rented From We rented our e-bike cruisers from Craniologie right on Main Street in Breckenridge. Craniologie rents Class 1 e-bikes with pedal assist, which are the only type of e-bike... --- - Published: 2024-04-22 - Modified: 2024-05-28 - URL: https://bestofbreck.com/a-day-at-the-marina/ - Categories: Breckenridge Summer Activities - Tags: breckenridge summer activities, Frisco, lake dillon, Marina, Sammy Mazza, summer, Summer Activities Looking to spend some time on the water or bask in the mountain sun during your mountain getaway?

Enjoy this getaway guide to spring in Breckenridge to know what to expect in our Rocky Mountain town. Springtime in the RockiesWhat To Expect for Spring in Breckenridge Spring is a time of great transition in the Rocky Mountains. Our long winter quickly gives way to our gorgeous summers, meaning spring weather can be a dramatic mix of both seasons. We regularly have days that reach up to 60 degrees, and it is not unexpected to have large snowfalls! In April, we have an average high of around 44 degrees, and in May, an average high of 55 degrees. Packing: With our variety of somewhat unpredictable weather conditions, it is especially important in spring to pack for anything and everything! Pack plenty of layers for those chillier mornings, a rain jacket for potential showers, and ski gear if you plan on hitting the slopes! Temperatures warm up in the afternoons, so be sure to bring some thinner waterproof mittens or gloves. In Town: Many restaurants and businesses utilize the slower spring season to recuperate, restock, and deep-clean after the busy winter season. Be sure to check online or call local businesses for changes to hours of operation. It is not unusual for restaurants to be closed for a week or two during the spring.

Flowers are blooming, rivers are flowing, and our local wildlife is making appearances around town! Moose are among the most majestic and fascinating creatures we share our mountain town with. Seeing a moose in the wild is a magical moment, but it is important to take some precautions to keep yourself and the moose safe. Moose are the largest mammals in Colorado- over six feet tall at the shoulder, coming in at up to 1200 pounds! Transplanted to the state in 1978 and 1979, moose breeding populations can now be seen in most higher-elevation habitats. Their diet consists of grazing on willows, grasses, bushes, leaves, needles, and underwater vegetation. Moose prefer to live in riparian and forested areas near lakes or marshes. Moose are commonly found in Breckenridge and can occasionally be seen near our resorts or downtown! Follow these precautions to stay safe in moose country. --- - Published: 2024-03-11 - Modified: 2024-03-19 - URL: https://bestofbreck.com/5-reasons-to-visit-breckenridge-in-april-and-may/ - Categories: Breckenridge Activities - Tags: April in Breckenridge, Breckenridge in May, Breckenridge spring break, Breckenridge Spring Break Activities, Breckenridge Spring Skiing, Spring, Spring Break Lodging Deals, Spring in Breckenridge, Springbreak in Breckenridge No matter what month you visit Breckenridge you are sure to experience a sense of mountain magic coming from our charming town.

No matter what month you visit Breckenridge you are sure to experience a sense of mountain magic coming from our charming town. Everyone knows about the holidays, summers and our amazing ski season, but what about spring? Let us tell you why April and May are some amazing times to visit Breckenridge. Extended Spring Ski Season The town of Breckenridge sits at 9,600 feet above sea level, and the ski resort sits even higher up on the mountain, this means that while you’re enjoying the spring sunshine you won’t have to sacrifice great ski conditions. Breckenridge Ski Resort usually keeps its amazing terrain open through mid-April and then gradually begins reducing terrain (starting with Peaks 10 and 6) based on conditions. Still, Peaks 8 and 7 become the spring skiing hub for those looking to get in those late-season laps on less crowded slopes. Once May rolls around, the BreckConnect Gondola ceases operation due to wildlife migration patterns, guests can access to the ski resort via bus from the Breckenridge Transit Center. During late April and early May we are almost guaranteed to get a late-season snowstorm and provide great powder turns for those around to experience them. In years past, Breckenridge Ski Resort has spun the lifts all the way through Memorial Day, but that is of course dependent on conditions. For more information please check Breckenridge Ski Resort’s website. Breckenridge Ski Resort’s Spring Events Not only will the lifts be spinning late into the season at Breckenridge Ski Resort, but events will be happening through April and May as well. Usually on late spring weekends the ski resort brings out the DJ Cat, a snow cat equipped with a sound system to keep the vibes high.

It may come as a surprise, but spring in Breckenridge brings an extended ski season, longer days and warmer weather. With an average of 300 days of sunshine annually, you won’t want to miss spring break in Breckenridge! Our Breck spring break vacation planning guide has everything you need plus locals’ tips so you can plan the ultimate sun-filled vacation. Spring Skiing Have no fear, the snow is here! Breckenridge Ski Resort offers an extended ski season through Memorial Day (weather permitting), so there is plenty of opportunity to earn your turns if you are coming in March or beyond. With highs in the upper thirties in March, you can enjoy days of warm skiing and soft snow. Don’t forget to pack your sunscreen and layers! Warmer days mean you’ll work up a sweat on the slopes, so be sure to wear moisture-wicking base layers under your gear. And while we love working on our goggle tan, fresh snow can reflect up to 90% of UV radiation, which makes sunscreen and Chapstick an essential for your packing list.

For good reason, too, as Breckenridge is home to nearly 3,000 acres of skiable terrain and is famous for its winter wonderland charm. Yet Breckenridge's allure extends well beyond its pristine slopes and snowy scenery. With its rich mining town history, vibrant local culture, and endless year-round adventures, Breckenridge stands out as one of the best places to visit, no matter the season. After all, there's a reason that so many visitors become residents themselves: As the local saying goes, "We came for the winter but stayed for the summer. " History of Breckenridge: From Gold Rush to Snow Rush Long before Breckenridge was known for its incredible ski conditions and modern mountain town culture, it was the ancestral land of the Ute Native Americans. The Ute people, indigenous to the Colorado Rockies, lived harmoniously with the land, utilizing its rich resources for sustenance and shelter. They were known for their profound connection to nature, skilled horsemanship, and intricate basket weaving. The Ute tribes roamed the nearby mountain ranges and valleys, following seasonal cycles for hunting and gathering. Their presence in the region, long before the influx of miners and skiers, laid the foundational history of the area. The Ute culture, deeply ingrained in the landscape, remains an integral part of the region’s rich historical tapestry. In the 1800s, Breckenridge became a humble mining town, established in 1859 following the discovery of gold along the Blue River. It wasn't until 1961, over a century later, that skiing reshaped its identity. While its gold rush days are long gone, Breckenridge's legacy remains intact. The town is peppered... --- - Published: 2023-11-21 - Modified: 2023-11-21 - URL: https://bestofbreck.com/navigating-high-altitude-travel/ - Categories: Breckenridge Information - Tags: Altitude Sickness, Altitude SIckness Breckenridge, Altitude Sickness relief, High ALtitude Travel, IV Breckenridge, Oxygen Breckenridge Welcome to Breckenridge, where the air is thin, the views are spectacular, and adventure awaits at every turn.

Welcome to Breckenridge, where the air is thin, the views are spectacular, and adventure awaits at every turn. Perched at 9600’ high in the Rockies, Breckenridge offers a literal breathtaking travel experience. However, with great altitude comes great responsibility. In this blog, we'll chat about traveling to altitude and its effects on the body, how to prepare for your trip, and what to do if you find yourself feeling the effects of altitude sickness. Plus, we'll introduce you to some local businesses in Breckenridge, that can help you acclimate and make the most of your mountain vacation. Before we jump into more about traveling at altitude, we here at the Best Of Breckenridge are not medical professionals and these are just our personal tips below, please check out the CDC's website on Altitude Sickness and adhere to their guidelines. Understanding Altitude and Its Effects: Breckenridge sits at an elevation of 9,600 feet above sea level, and many of the surrounding peaks exceed 14,000 feet. As you ascend to these lofty heights, the air pressure decreases, resulting in lower levels of oxygen. This drop in oxygen can lead to altitude-related challenges for some individuals. Altitude sickness symptoms include: Headache Nausea Loss of appetite Fatigue Lightheadedness Trouble sleeping And none of those sound fun when you’re trying to enjoy the scenic views of the surrounding mountain tops. How to prepare for high-altitude travel: Before embarking on your adventure to Breckenridge, it's essential to take precautions to help your body adjust to the altitude. Staying well-hydrated is key, as dehydration can exacerbate altitude symptoms. Upon arriving in Colorado or Breckenridge we recommend drinking some electrolytes in conjunction with plenty of H20. Get plenty of rest so your body is ready for the changes in altitude and temperature it will be adjusting to.

Ollie’s AKA The Dredge Boat History: The Dredge Boat, once a formidable gold mining vessel, now rests on the shores of the Blue River. Between 1898 and 1942 Dredge boats were allowed to operate and were used to dredge the riverbed in search of precious metals. Haunting: The tale goes that one night the foreman was awoken by the sound of an alarm coming from the boat and left his cottage (now Starbucks on main street) to investigate the disturbance. As OSHA was nonexistent at the time, the entrance to the dredge was a single-width plank of wood that crossed over the pond. It was a freezing winter night when the foreman went to check on the dredge and accidentally slipped into the pond, tragically freezing to death. His body was recovered in the spring and had been so well-preserved that at his funeral he was displayed with an open casket. 2. The Gold Pan Saloon History: Opening in 1861, the Gold Pan is considered the oldest saloon west of the Mississippi. From the miners of the gold rush all the way to today’s visitors the Gold Pan has been quenching thirsts after a hard day of work or on the mountain. In its long history, it has seen bar fights, shoot-outs, and survived the prohibition era.

While the experience in the dining room is unequaled in Breck, I prefer to go past the formality and around the corner, where you walk back in time to the cozy, rustic and Old West-inspired saloon. The saloon at the Briar Rose is a locals’ secret – where many of us choose to avoid some more well-known hot spots during the busy season, enjoy local perks during the off-season, soak in the sun on the back porch in summer, escape the chill of the mountain in winter, slip into dark comfort in the bright summer days... ok you get the point. The Briar Rose saloon is a year-round gem. The hand-carved bar dates to the early days of Breck’s gold-mining history. The game trophies on the walls were won by the wife... --- - Published: 2023-03-16 - Modified: 2024-03-26 - URL: https://bestofbreck.com/breckenridge-and-pop-culture/ - Categories: Breckenridge Information - Tags: arielle gold, breckenridge, breckenridge athletes, Breckenridge colorado, breckenridge olympics, breckenridge pop culture, Breckenridge Ski Resort, Dew Tour, Dew Tour Breckenridge, dumb and dumber, keeping up with the kardashians, kim kardashian, rob gronkowski, ski, Skiing, Snowboarding, the kingdom of breckenridge There's no denying it - Breckenridge has made its mark on Popular culture.

Spring skiing is all about soaking up the Colorado sunshine, enjoying the slushy snow, having fun with your friends on the mountain, and grabbing a drink or two after your final run. 5 Tips for the Perfect Spring Skiing Day Updated January 12, 2024 There's no doubt that we've had an incredible season so far. However, the time is nearing where the snow stops gracing us with its presence as the temperature starts to rise. Spring is quickly approaching, and with it comes slushy spring laps with friends, costumes and warm, sunny days. Skiing might not be your first thought when thinking of spring, but trust us: don't knock it 'til you've tried it. Spring skiing is all about soaking up the Colorado sunshine, enjoying the slushy snow, having fun with your friends on the mountain, and grabbing a drink or two after your final run (please drink responsibly). Here are five tips to make your spring ski trip epic: Soak up the sunshine and enjoy the slush. Situated at 10,000 feet above sea level, when spring comes around, the sun feels warm on the skin. Spend less time in the lodge warming up and more time on the slopes—where you want to be. Ski with your best friends. Gather all your friends for a day filled with slashing the slush. Nothing beats mobbing down the slope with your best friends. Soak up the sunshine, build up the laughter and make those memories! Grab a drink. Spring skiing is about taking it easy. Take a break and grab a drink on the patio at Robbie's. Sip your beverage outside in the warmth of the sunshine as you watch others coming down the slopes before getting back out there yourself. Don't overdress. With an average of 300 days of sunshine and at high elevation, the sun is hot! Don't overdress for the ski slopes; otherwise, you might overheat. Keep layers as mornings might still be chilly, but be ready to shed layers as... --- - Published: 2023-03-03 - Modified: 2025-09-29 - URL: https://bestofbreck.com/free-or-affordable-winter-activities-in-breckenridge/ - Categories: Breckenridge Winter Activities - Tags: Emmily Van Dorn Snow sports can undoubtedly add up in price.

We wanted to provide you with some alternatives so you can give your feet, and your wallet a break. Here are just a few of the free or low-cost activities in Breckenridge and the surrounding area. Gondola Scenic Ride As you venture into town for the first time, you’ll undoubtedly see the gondola stretching over Park Avenue. For those skiing, this might be your best mode of transportation to and from the resort. However, you don’t need a ski pass to hop on the gondola; it’s free to ride and has some great views of the resort! There are four stops along the ride: Beginning at the north end of town, your first stop is the Shock Hill neighborhood, to the base of Peak 7, and finally, the base of Peak 8. The entire loop will take roughly 30 minutes. Keep an eye out for a family of moose as you pass over Cucumber Gulch Wildlife Preserve. Free Museums Our quaint little town is rich in history! From the 1800s gold rush to the 10th mountain division battalion and, finally, the growth of our beloved ski resort we know today, there’s a plethora of knowledge to be found.

Somehow, the Best of Breck team has compiled a list of our go-to spots on the mountain. Check these out next time you're in town! Cody: Favorite Run: Horseshoe Bowl Location: Peak 8 Difficulty Level: Double Black This is the classic spot at Breck. While not one specific run per se, Horseshoe Bowl offers quick access to the terrain as beautiful as it is challenging. Accessed by the infamous Breck T-Bar or from a traverse from Six Chair (if you are going to traverse, hold your speed because some of it is uphill! ), this terrain is my go-to for a few quick laps before work. You can take a straight shot right down "the Gut" (the dead center) of the bowl for wide-open turns or traverse to the skier's left to get to the top of the rocky outcropping flanked "Lulu's. " But my actual favorite run at Breck is a small offshoot of Horseshoe, to the very skier's right, Contest Bowl. Contest Bowl is a small bowl/face with plenty of rock features (Including "B. O. C. aka Breck's only cliff, a local's favorite and silly moniker as there are plenty of cliffs to send it off in the high alpine terrain). You can often find 10-12 turns of perfect windblown powder in this short but challenging bowl. Laurel: Favorite Run: Bliss Location: Peak 6 Difficulty Level: Blue A name that indeed says it all. Bliss is located on Breckenridge's Peak 6 and is the first above-tree line run I experienced! You don't need to be an expert to ski and ride the high alpine in Breckenridge.

We’ve written about ski conditions; now, let’s talk safety. It sounds a bit lame, we know. But “if you french-fry when you’re supposed to pizza, you’re gonna have a bad time. ” Now, there’s a LOT to talk about when considering skier safety, and it all starts in your preparations. Things to Know Before You Go: The Town of Breckenridge sits at 9,600 feet above sea level. The base of the ski resort sits at roughly 10,000 feet, and the highest point of peak 8 is 12,998 feet—that’s almost 2. 5 miles above sea level! Drink plenty of water (before) and stock up on backpack snacks—your body is working overtime on this vacation. Keep in mind altitude sickness could range from shortness of breath to nausea and vomiting. Consult a doctor if you’re not feeling well! To top it off, a higher elevation comes with a few added caveats, such as higher UV exposure. Don’t forget the sunscreen! Rest assured, with an average of 300 sunny days a year and significantly less atmosphere; you’ll still get that epic goggle tan. Take a look at our packing guide for an insider scoop on layering! Download the Epic Mix App for an interactive trail map, real-time lift lines and status, GPS tracking, and Ski Patrol phone numbers—the combination of which could save a life. It’s 2023. Helmets are trendy; a TBI is not. Lastly, a skier assumes the risk of any injury to a person or property resulting from any of the inherent dangers and risks of skiing.

Laurel La Française French Bakery has been a favorite spot of mine since I moved to Breckenridge five years ago. Not only do they make delectable and beautiful pastries and desserts, but they also provide warm and friendly service. Each year I so look forward to ordering their pastries for Christmas. Their pain au chocolats, cinnamon beignets and fruit tarts transport me straight to the streets of France and bring me so much joy. Be sure to stop in for a treat and order a delectable hot chocolate to go along with it! Joyeux Noel! Lauren Since I moved to Breckenridge last February, I haven’t had the chance to spend an entire holiday season in this charming town. However, I’m beyond excited to start new traditions this year with my husband and our dog, Hank! There are so many things to do here, but I’m most excited about getting up on Christmas morning, skiing with friends and family, and hopping over to Sevens for an après Christmas lunch. If it’s sunny, we’ll try to snag a spot on the patio and look at the gorgeous mountains while we enjoy our flatbreads and bloody marys. Since we like to spoil our pup, I imagine we’ll spend the rest of the afternoon at the dog park letting Hank get all his energy out.

Breckenridge Holiday Guide Laurel Coffman / Updated May 1, 2024 When it comes to the holiday season, we like to consider Breckenridge a winter wonderland. There’s magic around every corner with twinkling holiday lights, a fresh blanket of snow and a bright and spirited atmosphere. Seasonal events, winter activities and pure holiday magic make Breckenridge the perfect holiday destination. Holiday Events There’s no better way to get in the holiday spirit than by attending one of Breckenridge’s iconic events. The first Saturday of December brings the Lighting of Breckenridge and Race of the Santas, an event that heralds the holiday season. The event kicks off with a holiday dog parade, followed by hundreds of Santas racing down Main Street. The grand finale occurs when Blue River Plaza is illuminated with more than 250,000-holiday lights. Celebrate all things winter and pray for snow at Breckenridge’s Ullr Fest.

Previous Previous Previous Next Next Next123 Top Winter Activities in Breckenridge, Colorado November 28, 2022 / Lauren Parker There are many things to do in Breckenridge other than skiing and snowboarding (although those are our top things to enjoy this season)! Winter is here, and all the fun snowy activities come with a new season! It's time to break out of your old gear and enjoy that beautiful snow. Here are our favorite winter activities. Cody: Moonlight Ski Disclaimer: my favorite thing to do in winter is to go snowboarding, but I wanted to share a fun activity that is a spin-off of board sports because, let's be honest, who's favorite winter activity isn't snowboarding? When a full moon hangs over Summit County, it is a great time to bust out the touring setup (Split Board) and go for a skin. The light of the moon bounces off the snow and illuminates the side or backcountry in the most spectacular fashion - sometimes, it is so bright you don't even need a headlamp. Of course, if you plan on an activity like this, make sure you have the right equipment and training to venture into the elements. Packing a hot beverage in a thermos is encouraged. Some resorts in Summit County, like Arapahoe Basin or Breckenridge, will even host "Skin & Dins' " where you can skin on resort-managed terrain up to an on-mountain restaurant for a prepared meal! If adventures into the night aren't your type of thing, rent some cross-country skis, pack a picnic lunch and venture out into safe, low-angle terrain during the daylight!
