The Skiing
No matter what your level of ability, there is something for everyone at Breckenridge. Benefiting from no less than four interconnecting mountain peaks most logically called Peaks, 7, 8, 9 and 10. Peaks 8 and 9 are a haven for intermediates with superb groomed trails off Peak 10 & Peak 8 and some great challenging moguls with names such as 'Psychopath' should give you a hint about the availability of steep, deep un-pisted runs! Long fast runs including 'Four O'clock', an awesome 5.6k run from the top of Peak 8, to the town.
Powder Hounds
No shortage of the white stuff here! Throughout most of the long season there's great off-piste terrain: deep, fluffy powder; fresh tracks through the trees; wide open back bowls. On the same ski pass, is Arapaho Basin - a rugged and spectacular area offering the highest skiable terrain in North America and famous for its powder, open bowl and above tree line slopes. And, if you haven't had your fill during the day (or perhaps didn't get up early?) Keystone is the only resort in Colorado to keep slopes open at night. All local & on the same ski pass.
Snow Parks
Breckenridge boasts two awesome Snow parks - no wonder it's one of the snowboard capitals of the USA. The well maintained main Board Park is on Peak 8 huge half-pipe, tables, jumps, rails and board cross. On Peak 9 there is a smaller Park, a great place to learn and gain confidence.
