Go Fly-Fishing: The rivers are melting, and the fish are biting! Breckenridge is home to world-class fly-fishing in the Blue River. Pay a visit to Mountain Angler or Breckenridge Outfitters for guided trips, equipment, or advice.

White-Water Rafting: The rivers are at their highest in the spring when they are replenished with melting snow. Several outfitters in Breckenridge can take you out for a day of adrenaline-filled fun on the river! Breckenridge Whitewater Rafting, Colorado Rafting Company, Performance Tours, and AVA Rafting are a few outfitters in our area.

Spring Skiing: Spring brings some of the most enjoyable days on the mountain, with warmer temperatures, sunny skies, and the occasional late-season snowfall. Mornings often start with firmer snow, while afternoons soften into classic spring conditions. Terrain and lift access can vary throughout the season, but there are still plenty of opportunities to get out and enjoy the mountain as winter transitions into spring.

Peaks & Beats Weekend | April 25 & 26, 2026

Participants must register online in advance, with a $30 entry fee benefiting the Epic Promise Foundation. Spots are limited and tend to fill quickly, so early registration is encouraged.

Dew, Toyota, American Express, and Outer Range Brewing, and enjoy the festive atmosphere between pond skim runs and music sets.
