Why Breckenridge Should be Your Next Ski Vacation

 
Picture
​The friendly town of Breckenridge is full of character, history and fresh powder. Just a 90 minute scenic drive from Denver, below you can learn why so many families call this place their top snow ski destination. 
  1. Slopes. With 2,908 acres and an average of 353 inches of annual snowfall- Colorado is built for skiing. Like most big mountains there are a great number of trails, but what is unique to Breckenridge is the amount of levels available. Whether you’re a first timer, intermediate or extreme they have plenty of options for each, making this a very inviting environment for people of all ages. We particularly enjoyed ski school and our lessons with our ski instructor- John O who was super cheery, helpful and most importantly kept us all safe on the mountain. 
  2. Ski's & Such. There is an abundance of ski rentals in Breck as well as the neighboring town of Frisco. My biggest piece of advice would be not to hold back on cold weather gear. With base elevation at 9,600 Ft. and summit 12,988 Ft. there is no question it gets cold. Go with extra layers, hand warmers, helmet liners and great goggles. Ski passes are available for pre purchase online and mailed to your door or buy them day of at the base of the mountain. 
  3. Snacks. The Mountain has a great variety of snacks and refreshments to keep you fueled. My favorite was going into the lodge for a big cup of hot chocolate to warm up! Breckenridge is home to exquisite dining like, Modis, Blue River Bistro and Hearthstone Restaurant to name a few! To stock up on groceries for your lodge head over to City Market or Amazing Grace a great natural food store. 
  4. Stay & Relax. Breckenridge has a lot of ski in/ski out condo developments and resorts at the base of the mountain. While other top Colorado destinations like Aspen or Vail costs are extreme you will find a great medium staying in Breckenridge. Free shuttles run frequently to town and the mountain but most lodging is a 15-minute walk to town! If you rent a car in Denver get an all-wheel drive or a front-wheel drive, you don’t need an SUV and do not want rear-wheel drive in the snow. The town is bursting with entertainment from local theaters, breweries and lots of adorable shops to find the perfect souvenir! Our family loves grabbing a Starbucks (check out how cute the Starbucks is) and walking up and down the shops together on Main Street. 

Breckenridge is the perfect place to start your family trip traditions, getaway from your 9-5 or just spend some quality time with your spouse. Whatever the reason, this authentic mining town holds the conveniences and charm you want in a ski town and ideal mountain getaway.
