on Citysearch Nov 26, 2008Breckenridge is a fun ski resort with some pretty good runs. It's more of a destination location, like Keystone, but unlike Keystone it's a much better and more challenging mountain. Breckenridge the town is neat... (more)

on Citysearch May 26, 2008<b>The Scene</b><br>Though it lacks the glitz of resorts such as Aspen and Vail, Breckenridge has become one of the most popular ski resorts in Summit County. It offers the charms of a former mining town, some good... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 18, 2007Loved skiing here. The hotel we had was ski in/out so we were right on the lifts. The skiruns are long and you can ski a different route everyday. The lines were kind of long in the mid-day but that was okay. The free... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 14, 2007I'm from Michigan, where glorified landfills serve as our "mountains." I LOVED Breckenridge! Admittedly, I'm a beginner, so I didn't get to some of the more challenging slopes, but I loved their beginner hills.... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 02, 2006I've stayed her on several occasions and thought of it as a decent resort. The best things about it are how close it is to Denver and that you can ski up to the resort after a day on the slopes. Rooms are basic/simple. The... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 21, 2005I learned to ski here and would ski my last run here if possible to plan that way as it is a fantastic lodge, town and slopes. Used to ban snowboarders which I liked, but is now open to both ski and boards with a huge snow... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 16, 2005We have always enjoyed coming to Breck. Family vacation at its finest. Affordable, and always something to do - even for non-skiiers. Always stay at High Country Lodge with lots of family and friends. The scenery is... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 16, 2005I get annoyed at people who consistently dis Breck for its flats and less than thrilling vertical. I have lived here for 8 years and the mountain rocks - you just have to be good enough to access it. The new Imperial lift... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 15, 2005Cannot believe that Breck is recommended. You'll get a great workout there, a good upper body workout that is - you'll spend half your time pushing across flat areas just to get back in the lift line.... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 05, 2005Breckenridge is an Indian word that means "always windy". Add that to the crowds and enough said. (more)

on Citysearch Jan 28, 2005Lower level skiers will think it's great once they get past the crowds and long lift lines. Good intermediates and above should look elsewhere. The tremendous amount of long flat trails and ho hum skiing doesnt... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 30, 2004Great ski school for kids and adults. Tons of great instructors on hand and plenty of terrain/room - even on the busy Thanksgiving holiday weekend. If you're serious about learning - and not picking up bad habits that... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 30, 2004This is the third time my husband and I have visited. We enjoy bringing family and friends to experience the mountain, town and Vail. Coming from the Northeast the powder is great, considering we are used to ice.... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 27, 2004In your review you forgot to mention that Breckenridge was the pioneer in snowboarding and has the best terrain parks and half pipes in the country as rated by top boarders and freeskiers. You also mentioned that it... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 14, 2004So, there are a lot of negative reviews written by folks with really cool ski-related e-mail addrsses ("hey, look at me ... I'm a skier!"). Here's the scoop from a local ... if you can handle it, stay on E chair. Never a... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 14, 2004I had the pleasure of growing up in Breckenridge and now that I am in college, I can't wait to go home and ski. There is something magical about Breckenridge and the way the town and people open up to you and welcome you in.... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 14, 2004Definately better then Keystone and closer then the superior mountains of Vail, Beaver Creek or Steamboat. Does get pretty crowded on weekends and they don't seem to have a clue when it comes to crowd control. But all... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 14, 2004Breckenridge gets a bad rap from the wrong people. The resort is huge and offers awesome terrain. The new Peak 7 has made this resort a competitor with Vail and Steamboat. Some of the best snowboarders in the world ride... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 14, 2004I have been skiing for years and Breck is one of my favorite place to bring friends who are first time skiers. They have a great ski school for kids and adults and even though the lines may be long you get through them very... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 27, 2003Breckenridge was pretty lame, yYou spend all of your time travelling between peaks. When the wind closes down the advanced lifts it is one big lame beginner hill. Anything under black pretty much sucks on this... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 03, 2003Skiing with my family was great. Great powdersnow, good slopes, nice town with good restaurants. Only setback was the freezing cold and windy lifts. For what they charge, one might expect a new gondola or two,... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 02, 2003THIS IS A GREAT RESORT TO BEGIN TO EXPLORE BACK COUNTRY, STEEPS AND BIG BOWLS. THE BEST PART IS IT IS CLOSE TO A NUMBER OF OTHER RESORTS THAT HAVE GREAT TERRAIN AS WELL. (more)

on Citysearch Dec 29, 2002The town has great restaurants, nightlife and shopping. I am an intermediate skier, but find that the blue runs are too short and too flat compared to other resorts. The resort is also rather crowded. I would much... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 12, 2002I was a ski instructor before I blew out my ACL. Since then I've been snowboarding, and now I teach that instead. Breck is a great mountain for riding and skiing, but it is not as user-friendly as it could be. Long lines,... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 11, 2002Breckenridge is my favorite resort because of the great conditions and beautiful vistas. My favorite holiday memory is sitting in a warming hut at the top of the mountain on Christmas Eve. We had skiied hard all... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 11, 2002I think that this ski resort is one of the best places to get some major skiing time in, and is perfect for a family getaway. I thouroughly enjoyed this resort while I was there last year. I would most definitely highly... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 11, 2002It great but their is a lot of crowds. There are a lot of green trails at the end of the mountain. Get boring. Keystone - better . (more)

on Citysearch Nov 11, 2002This place is fun. Runs are shorter than I'd like...but worth a visit for a change of pace. (more)
