One of the best Ski Resorts in the US. They have a great variety of runs and so many lifts. It gets busy during holiday weekends but everyone is very friendly. The have one of the best ski villages that I have every been at. When you picture a Hallmark Christmas Village, this is the one I think of. Wonderful!

One of the best resorts in the area. You kind find skiing for beginners (actually, quite a lot) and really advanced with powder.

Great parking facility. Gondola will take you from North or South parking lot to the mountain.

We had a good time at Breck. The greens on mountain 9 we're perfect for beginners who want to feel comfortable with skiing. It would have been nice to have easier access to the other green slopes on others mountains but we were able to make a day of just going down the slopes we had. Looks like a perfect place for little kids to learn to ski! The greens also don't go all the way up the mountain so depending on how beginner you are that would be a good or bad thing. The runs are pretty short. Lots of blue and black runs on the other mountains.

Small town feel. Touristy. Free Gondola was so exciting and a neat experience. Trails for beautiful miles of walk. River was so close and calming. Groceries with in walking distance. Epic Discovery is a must for new experiences. Summer visit. Winter I would think is beautiful too.

Breckenridge has nearly completed the slow slide towards "luxury resort". The mountain is managed by Vail, if that tells you anything about the way this place is going. I hadn't been here in 5 years. There is a lot less of the original town character, and a lot more 10 dollar slices of pizza.

Really really pretty, we took the beginner lessons since were from Florida and have never seen snow and man was it worth it. Do yourself a favor and wear some wrist guards and pack your own food.

I was appalled with the way the resort and treats the homeless people in Breckenridge it's freezing cold other trying to do is get warm and all we got money over contribute those are good people that just down on their luck like if there's not one star for how they treat their the people there town that live there year-round it sucks

After having reported this and trying to switch teams or departments unsuccessfully I found myself suspended and then terminated. VAIL RESORTS PREFERS ALCOHOLICS FOR SUPERVISORY POSITIONS.
THEY WILL SEND YOUR TAX DOCUMENTS TO YOUR OLD ADDRESS INSTEAD OF THE NEW ONE YOU GIVE THEM WHEN THEY WRONGFULLY TERMINATE YOU.
Do the world a favor, don't ski, eat, work, or stay here. Please check with MCDONALD'S for employment in the area as they seem to value their employees and show such with a starting wage of $14 an hour.

It's a big resort but they don't know how to take advantage of their terrain. It feels like everything is designed to keep patrons on the trails, rather than exploring. Felt like all the trees are either roped off or too dense to get into. Consequently, as soon as the runs get tracked up, that's it. There's nowhere to go to find more powder. Just enjoy your chunky moguls for the rest of the day.

Breckenridge is one of my favorite ski resorts of all time. It's a pretty big mountain with tons of varied terrain. Peak 9 has a bunch of good trails for beginners. It's nice and flat with just enough slope for beginners to learn on without getting too much speed and hurting themselves. Peak 8 has the Imperial Express chair which is the highest chairlift in North America and is incredible. Peaks 7 and 6 have great woods runs. The town of Breckenridge is really awesome is well. There are tons of little shops, restaurants, ski shops, bars, etc. The shuttle system is top notch as well. Tons of pickup and drop off spots right at the base of the slopes. Or you can park near the bus depot and take the gondola up. All around Breck is a great resort.

They have no problem charging people over $300 dollars (when you include a ski rental) to slide down snow on a mountainside. The town is cute if you're not aware that it is a fabrication (illusion) of an early 1900s mountain town. Vail Resorts owns Breckenridge. Vail still allows Breck brand itself as a unique, local ski resort but jacks up the prices to ridiculous levels. If you want to see what ski package prices look like outside of a monopoly on the I70 corridor, check out mountains like Steamboat Springs or Crested Butte.

First time skiing in Colorado and I was very pleased. The lifts are some of the fastest I've been on, and the runs some of the longest. The Epic Mix tracks your activity for the day if you get the app. Prices are high, but you can buy 7 days in advance to get a better rate.

Gave this 5 stars for my experience here. Took a lesson here and it was super professional and helpful. 4 1/2 hours, including lunch, got me up and down on the lift twice. The rental boots were very comfortable compared to places I have tried on the north east US.
Couple criticism - peak 8 isn't easy to find from the road. Should be some signs on the approach. The bar should be open later. It was fun but unsure why it closes when the slopes do. Think people would hang out there longer.
Overall - nice, classy and comfortable place

Although a bit colder than other resorts, Breck actual has some interesting and fun terrain. The rolling hills are fun to go over, especially when you're going a little faster and the hike to the summit is a can't miss. Also, Whales Tale is a really cool area to ski if it's your first time trying to go off trail a bit and try something a little more natural and untouched.

first time family ski vacation here. Our daughters love the ski school and my wife and I are enjoying the slopes (fantastic snow and conditions) and amenities. I bet we will be back every year. A new tradition for us.

Beautiful, big resort with multiple peaks for skiing and snowboarding. Multiple resort hubs with transportation methods between the town areas. I came on a day with fresh powder and had an excellent time!
