Just an hour from the Denver International Airport, Breckenridge Ski Resort is one of the easiest to access ski areas in all North America.

    What is the best month to ski Breckenridge?

Then skiers and riders can enjoy the slopes until mid-to-late May, with the best conditions and deepest snowpack averages in the mid-winter months December through February. Other winter activities at the resort are scenic tours by snow cat or horse-drawn sleigh rides, fat biking and sledding.

    Amazing

    It took 48 years for me to go to Colorado and I feel we picked the perfect resort. There is something for everyone ... families, couples, old, young, etc ... and any description of the scenery would not do it justice. Oxygen comes in handy.

    Love Breck

    Breck has become my favorite place to ski. Wide wonderful intermediate trails! My preference these days.

    Could not have been better

    A beautiful townhome right on Snowflake run. Interior decorating is not done cheaply. Plenty of pots and pans and utensils. A homey feel. We loved it.

    Excellent location but EXTREMELY expensive.

    Breckenridge is a wonderful place to visit and the skiing is great. But, be prepared to spend a lot of money on ski equipment rentals, lift tickets, and food. We have gone to Breckenridge many times in the past, the last time about 10 years ago. Since then the rates have sky-rocketed, and there don’t seem to be any discounts.

    Great Week of Skiing

    We spent 5 nights at the Beaver Run Resort this January. Skiing was absolutely fantastic. The mountain has so many great trails for all ability levels and they take tremendous care of the slopes, grooming every night. We stayed in a Colorado suite with easy access to the slopes and a short walk into town. The town is also a great place for dinner, walking, whatever. One downer - my skis were taken (stolen) while I was having a hot chocolate break at Ten Mile Station. This was a mid-slope station. Hard to figure since you had to ski to get there and then ski a long way to get back to the bottom. Mountain personnel tried to help locate my equipment, but to no avail.

    Fabulous trip with the family

    We had a great time in Breckenridge at Christmas. The staff at ski.com was amazing and our trip went very smoothly.

    River Moutain Lodge

    I cannot write a review as I had to cancel my stay at the River Mountain Lodge do to a back injury the week before I was to be in Breckinridge. My two friends were able to go without me . Having stayed there before it has a great location, but they said the unit could use some updating as some of the furnishings were showing signs of wear .

    Perfect Christmas

    This was our first trip to Breck and we absolutely loved it. We had some fresh snow for Christmas and the conditions were great most of our week.
