Breckenridge

Breckenridge presents a grand facade to the skier, with a substantial vertical drop and ample acreage to explore. Its high-alpine bowls and varied terrain invite those seeking both challenge and expansive views, making it a suitable stop for a spectrum of winter travelers.

For the touring sort, Breckenridge’s proximity to Keystone and Copper Mountain makes for a rather efficient expedition. These resorts are but a short drive apart, allowing one to sample the local flavors within a day’s journey, and the drive itself is hardly taxing.

This mountain stands as a stalwart on the Epic Pass, a boon for those who frequent its brethren. Be mindful, however, that such popular venues often attract a gathering, so those who prize solitude above all else might consider an early start.
