Breckenridge, known for snow, service and sunshine is the No 1. USA resort for British skiers. Dating back 130 years, Breckenridge has maintained its "Old West" charm of the gold mining era, combining character, a fun and friendly atmosphere and an unbelievable ski area.
Breckenridge has over 2350 acres of terrain, receives over 300 inches of snow each year and has a peak of 13,000 feet. The Breckenridge ski resort area has received nearly $50m of investment in recent years producing well-manicured slopes, a quarter of which are cover by snow canons.
The excellent friendly ski school offer beginners a great start. The gently nursery slopes by the Quicksilver lift or at the base of Peak 8 will soon boost confidence to enjoy the abundance of easy green and blue runs.
The highest resort in America with its huge, snow-sure ski area right behind the village is great choice for intermediates. Using the high speed Beaver Run chairlift, you will be negotiating Peak 9 in no time at all, and from there, the mountains open up for a tremendous skiing adventure across all 4 mountain peaks.back to top
