Epic Spring Conditions at Breck!

With over a foot of fresh snow this week and temps reaching into the 50s, the conditions are just amazing here in Breckenridge.  I took this photo during a lunch break at the Coppertop on Peak 9.

The fresh tracks on Show White were well worth the hike from the top of the Imperial Chair and it was so warm I even had to take off my jacket for a few runs.

So if you are looking for amazing spring time skiing, head to Breck, because it just does not get any better!

Your Own Moonlight Snowshoe Adventure!

With warmer temps and longer days it’s the perfect time of year to get outside and be active! Why not keep the fun going into the night with Moonlight snowshoeing at the Breckenridge Nordic Center. Now through March 20th the Moon will be at it’s brightest so be sure to take advantage of this unique and exhilarating experience. Night adventures are offered all season from 7-9.

Call (970)-453-6855 for cost and to reserve. If the snowshoeing doesn’t leave you breathless, the crystal clear star packed mountain skies will.
