We hosted a family reunion in Breckenridge. Everything we saw in the resort was top notch. There is a wide variety of lodging available. We rented a 7 bedroom house, but there are also condos and smaller homes to choose from. I Would highly recommend the location for summer, family events.

We just moved to Colorado from Indiana where we see nothing but flat corn fields. This was our first trip out to the mountains and LOVED every moment!
The Gondola rides up to the resort area were a huge hit for pir kiddos (let's be honest me too). We got to see all the fun summer activities which was a huge surprise to me! So many fun activities for all ages! My kiddos are only 1 & 4 bit still had a blast. The free transportation around all of Breckenridge, the amazingly adorable downtown with every shop/restaurant you could need/want and the gorgeous resort are a must see. I can't wait for winter to experience skiing with my little for the first time!

Breckenridge is one of our go to ski resorts. Can't go wrong with a visit to Breck! Would probably avoid it and go to a smaller resort on three day weekends and during the month of March (because of all the visitors), but it's awesome during the rest of the season! If you like tacos, go to peak 7 - some of the best tacos ever!

Love skiing Breckenridge. So many options in terms of terrain and skill levels. Have been coming to Breckenridge for over 20 years at spring break. Usually there is lots of snow during March and the temperatures are more balmy for skiing. This year was there already in the middle of February and the winter snow conditions were amazing. At one point during the week I received a report that in the last 7 days, 62 inches of snow had fallen. So much powder! The lift lines were mostly reasonable, although Sunday of President's Day weekend found them getting a bit long. Great low key resort without the pretentiousness of certain other Colorado ski resorts along I-70.

For this being my first time in Breckenridge as a Native that was visiting this experience was pretty amazing. At first I was dreading walking in snow boots and carrying my board (Main Street Sports has amazing priced rentals) , to getting on a tiny bus to even riding the gondola but as soon as we made it to the slopes it was outstanding the view and snow. I was born in Colorado and the amount of snow that fell that whole week I was there was beyond mind blowing. I didn't buy a lift ticket or pay for a class cause I didn't know how to snowboard but feel the prices are accurate for the amount of time and effort you spending snowboarding or skiing. The staff is friendly had to as a guy where the beginner slopes are and how to stop my googles from fogging with my glasses. (Stay inside for 30 mins then put the goggles on) I fell a few times then finally went from the top to the bottom without falling. All in all made me feel amazing to be from such a beautiful place and even my Florida co-workers loved it until they fell and got a face full of snow.

Have been coming here for a few days for the past 5 years... I absolutely love it.
My favorite part has always been going on top of the imperial express chair and cross over to the bowls. The views are simply stunning.
The snow has also always been great. Much better than anything I did growing up when skiing in the Alps actually! :)

We came primarily for the view and the excuse to ride the gondola. It was great finding out that dogs were allowed on the gondolas. Great for us, at least. Our dog was less impressed. We watched people struggle inside the human maze, which was fun. The quantity of entertainment options when there's no snow was quite impressive.

Winter: Beginners need to stay on the abundant green runs and stay off of the blue runs. It's really the best resort for beginners. So much option. But as soon as they prematurely go to blue runs, it's dangerous for everyone. Stay on the green runs until you've done every green run twice, please. For advanced people, the runs are great, but definitely smaller terrain than keystone and less untouched tree runs than copper mtn. Vail is best for advanced skiers, but this is my home mtn so I do love Breckenridge a lot.
Summer: mountain biking and adventure parks are way overpriced for what it is, but the day camps for kids are a good deal if you need summer camp while your work. Why not offer local discounts for the kids and parents to enjoy the adventure Park here?!

The location of this resort is great.

The location of this resort is great.

We stayed here for a time share presentation as we are looking to buy a place in Breck.

We stayed in the new building and the beds were hard. Also, they missed the mark on a lot of little details.

Overall we had a pretty bad experience

This place is amazing. So many things for family's to do. Plenty of hot tubs to relax in the movie theaters are great. We will def attempt to go back here in the future. Lots of outside activietys we didn't get around to doing.

No clear direction for beginner's to not end up on non beginner's trails. No lifters organizing lift lines as they should. Ski school teaching kids on advanced trails in the way of advanced riders.

Haven't been snowboarding in about 5 years and this was the best place to come! It's so open and many options for different levels. Ski lift takes you all the way up! I highly recommend this location!

Breck is unbelievable. My entire family was there for a quick few day trip staying at the base of Peak 8 - Grand Colorado. We had an amazing time. My oldest was in Ski School with Holden and he took really great care of him. His skills really improved as well. All of the staff, lift attendents, ski patrol are all super professional and very kind. Can't wait to go back.

We visited in the COVID summer, so our experience is only valid for hopefully a short amount of time.

Breckenridge is a very nice town in the mountains with a large set of ski mountains and slopes. This is upscale, so it is nicer than most and it costs more than most.

They have a gondola to get you between Peak 8, Peak 7 and the north end of downtown.

The downtown area has several nice restaurants and is surprisingly festive in a COVID world. Most restaurants have half-capacity seating indoors, so they have cafe style seating in the closed-off street.

Everyone is very mask and social-distancing aware and doing their best to be safe.

This is a dog-friendly town.

They have an alpine slide, which is good fun, but costs $28 per person, per ride and it takes an hour.

They have a coaster which we did not do here, but have done similar in Pigeon Forge, TN. Friends advised that the alpine slide is better.

They have chair lifts for mountain biking, but that was closed. We had an outfitter take us up Vail Pass and we rode back to town for a very nice experience - make reservations days in advance.

They have some hiking trails, but we found them to have limited value.

Overall it was a nice family outing, but it was limited because of COVID.

Half the glades were closed for seemingly no reason, they were full of fresh powder. The day pass was enormously expensive, the most expensive of any resort I've ever visited. The staff were all lazy. The resort is packed full of families and teenagers. The lift lines are huge. It does have some decent terrain, however there are other resorts in the Rockies that offer much more for a fairer price. Would not recommend.

Pricey, but the resort staff will go out of their way to help out with any problems to make your experience memorable.

Full disclosure: I have been skiing here for 30 years. Now that I have retired, I volunteer here as Mountain Ambassador. They give me a lift pass and a toasty-warm uniform.
