Why Ski Breckenridge?
We could talk about how Breckenridge annually receives one of the highest snow totals in Colorado, or about the fact that it claims the highest operating chairlift in North America, but the biggest reason Breckenridge Ski Resorts stands above the rest of the ski resorts in Colorado is because of its character. Situated among some of the tallest peaks in the Rockies, Breckenridge provides a unique skiing experience that overwhelms with its beauty. Additionally, the warm and welcoming nature of the people you’ll meet at Breckenridge will have you leave feeling like you made new friends. Breckenridge Ski Resort truly has something to offer for every age and ability, and we proudly proclaim it above (both literally and figuratively) any of the other ski resorts in Colorado.
