Breckenridge has always been popular with British visitors and it's easy to see why.
The transfer from Denver is quick and easy, there’s a wealth of good accommodation in the former mining town and that’s before the 187 trails are even taken into account. These runs spread across five distinct peaks – each of which offers something different – and extend to a lofty 3,961m, making this one of the most snowsure ski areas in the USA.

ValuePros and cons
- Wide variety of terrain – each peak is different
- Open powder bowls and world class terrain parks for experts
- Lively resort with lots of history, unlike many other US resorts
- Extremely expensive lift passes for shorter stays
- Can be very cold and exposed – no lifts have covers
- Very busy at weekends and during holidays
On the Slopes
A good lift system – the main links are all fast chairs – whisks skiers and boarders up five separate peaks. Each is different, but the general rule is that the more gentle slopes are at the base within the trees, whilst the steeper stuff lies beyond above the treeline.
Peak 8 and Peak 9 are home to the best beginner terrain on the mountain. Early starters should begin on the flat greens served by the Quicksilver SuperChair on Peak 9 or those beneath Rip’s Ride or 5 Chair on Peak 8. The long blues on Peak 7 or those off the Beaver Run SuperChair on Peak 8 make for great intermediate cruising – look out for the daily grooming map to see where the fresh corduroy is each morning.
Peak 10 is entirely dedicated to advanced and expert terrain, come here if you’re looking for steep groomers. Otherwise, head towards the top of each of the peaks for Breckenridge’s iconic powder bowls – Beyond Bowl on Peak 6 would be our top pick. If the weather has closed in, head into the trees served by E Chair or 6 Chair for some steep, but seriously fun tree runs.
The nearby resorts of Keystone and Arapahoe Basin are also well worth exploring – both are linked by a free shuttle bus.
In the Resort
The historic mining town of Breckenridge breaks the purpose-built mould that most American ski resorts fit. Main Street is lined with pretty, colourful buildings housing shops, bars and restaurants which give the place a great buzz. Guesthouses and apartments can be found in and around Main Street, but many of the larger accommodation blocks are located up at the base of Peak 9.
For an American resort, après can get lively and the numerous happy hours are well worth making the most of. Breck even has its own brewery, producing a wide range of beers – all brewed at almost 3000m.
Getting to Breckenridge
Getting to Breckenridge from Denver is easy, either by car, shared transfer or bus. Just watch the weather forecast as I-70 is prone to snow and avalanche closure, but the problems are not as bad as for Vail further along the road.

Unsettled weather progressing over the Four Corners brings with it up to about 10in of snow for southern Colorado and northern New Mexico, hitting over Friday night and into Saturday. Across the rest of the region, high pressure dominates, leading to sun and fine, dry and bright conditions throughout, following across the Four Corners as the weekend concludes.
More unsettled weather moves across the PNW through the middle of this week, skirting south from the other side of the Canadian border. This will bring good totals to the area, but won’t find its way across the rest of the Left Coast.
On the Ice Coast, mild weather with plenty of rain dominates for this weekend, before a sharp drop in temperatures to open the new week. This will see around 10cm of snow with it, too, helping to freshen up slopes in the region.
