Breckenridge Luxury Ski Resort

Breckenridge has been a firm favourite with skiers and snowboarders from the UK for well over a decade now and for good reason. It has a wonderful combination of dependable snow conditions and a real town that does not exude the fact that it was designed on a drawing board.

Four mountains offer fantastic scope for all levels of skier and it is this diversity that has made Breckenridge a firm favourite with families and expert skiers alike. From the beautifully groomed trails on Peaks 9 and 8, to the chutes and extreme terrain off the Imperial Express chair on Peaks 8 and 7, Breck (as it is know to locals) has it all.

Only 1 hour and 45 minutes from Denver airport and so close to over 5 great resorts, Breckenridge is a fantastic choice.

Duke's Run on Peak 8 offers a winning combination of both bumps and groomed terrain. Take the T-Bar up to Pika, Ptarmigan, White Crown and Forget-Me-Not for wide-open bowls and stunning views. Peak 9's Peerless is a great place to learn how to master the bumps, while bump masters will appreciate 6-Chair, especially on a powder day. A quick ride up the Falcon SuperChair on Peak 10 wisks skiers and riders to three advanced intermediate groomers, steep and deep bump runs, and the legendary glades of The Burn.

Peak 7 offers vast steep terrain without the trees at a 45-degree pitch. On Peak 8, the experienced skier and rider can enjoy amazing alpine vistas from atop Horseshoe Bowl (lift access) or Imperial Bowl at 12,998 ft via the new highest lift in North America! Hike to Lake Chutes for a 55 degree pitch (extreme terrain), between 10 and 80 feet of cornice, rocks to jump and of course, fresh tracks. Peak 9 features tree skiing at it's best. The Windows is an easy hike (anywhere from 10 to 20 minutes depending on a skier or rider's speed) from the Patrol Hut atop Peak 9. The South Side of Peak 10 sports big fat bumps, hidden kickers and glades - all without seeing another soul (or at least many souls).
