Has some of the best lines in Colorado if you know where to look. Also some of the longest lift lines if you *don't* know where to look. Add to that the i70 traffic and some of the most expensive food, and you have a mountain with some big pros and a lot of cons. Take from that what you will.

Breckenridge is great! If you want a place to ski really nice mountains in the USA go here! Their staff are nice, the lessons are good for all ages, the community and town are also spectacular! I was there for the snow sculptures which was really cool to see, especially for kids. One disclaimer I have is that the air is really thin so the first day may be hard. I am not a promoter for oxygen bars but some recommend it. I wish I could always ski here!

We love skiing here. We've been coming for 15+ years. The town is very quaint with tons of restaurants and shops. Summer is just as fun.
Parking is convenient for day skiers as well as those staying at one of many resorts.
Mountain is huge with trail levels for everyone - from beginners to expert.

What an amazing place! Went their for the rubber duck races over labor day weekend and had a blast. The resort is beautiful and the the free gondola ride included views of moose in the wild! While I'm sure this doesn't happen every time, it gives you a feel for how beautiful and close to nature it is around the resort. Many great hikes around and of course the fun restaurants and shops of Breck.

We we're there on a summer weekend and we just loved it. This place is really just awesome. We are surely coming back to this lovely place. The hiking trails, scenic beauty, the town, shops, we just loved them all.... The free bus ride around the town is a cool thing we found although we did not use it. In the winter it will come really handy especially around the main Street as the parking in these areas are not ease to find on a busy day. Overall it was a great experience.

The most amazing week was spent here with a great group of veterans, volunteers, members of multiple groups such as USA disabled spirits, warfighter sports, veterans affairs... Hands down the best rooms, best treatment, best food and snowboarding / skiing equipment and slopes. Can't wait to come back here, this pace had changed my life as a combat veteran and my family's as well.

Great resort and town! There are slopes for skiers and snowboarders of every skill level. You would need to spend a week on this mountain to try all of it. The lifts are fast. My favorite thing here are the bars and outdoor seating to enjoy a beer or hot chocolate! Always a great experience.

We actually drove up the national Forest service road and went hiking on the ski hill in the summer and the views were breathtaking. We brought a Tepui tent on our road trip and it was so beautiful, we stayed the night. There was some sort of art display going on in town with projections in the trees, and there was also really good food along the strip. We really enjoyed our time on the mountain.

From the Az Central website, "The forest attracts outdoor enthusiasts year-round, with mountain biking and hiking trails winding through the 2.3-million-acre forest. The forest is rated as the top recreation forest in the nation by the U.S. Forest Service. Camping in the forest near Breckenridge puts you close to nature in simple yet scenic surroundings.... The White River National Forest allows dispersed camping along many of its trails and forest roads. A multi-vehicle-use map is available on the forest's website to help you locate routes where previous dispersed camping sites were established to help minimize impact on the forest. You may, however, camp anywhere within 300 feet of a roadway as long as you do no damage to the area. Use Leave No Trace techniques to leave your campsite as pristine as you find it. You can camp at any one site for up to 14 days before needing to relocate."

Once you get past the sticker shock, Breckenridge is a wonderful resort for anyone from a learner to a real specialist. Being a large resort with four peaks, the lift wait times were very short when we were there and the restaurants were not too busy either. If you're looking for a resort with a nearby town for the evenings, breck is hard to beat.

I imagine that most people rate Breckenridge a 5. However, you don't get that great a view of the mountains from the town and it is too touristy (of course, that is what I was). And they make you pay for parking despite the fact that you are going there to spend money in the shops and restaurants.
