Breckenridge

Pros: Great town, lots of character
Cons: Very tough mountain, mediocre lift system

Breckenridge is a real ski town rather than a strip-mall at the base of a mountain, thereby giving it the character that's lacking at its neighbors in Summit County: Copper, Vail, Keystone and Arapahoe. It's a great destination resort, especially for...

Pros: Close to Denver, Ski School, Good for families
Cons: More of a resort, Limited backcountry skiing

Breckenridge mountain in Colorado is a more of a resort than a ski mountain. Although I myself would rather go to a less popular skiing area, Breckenridge as a whole is a good time. There is a plenty for the kiddies to do along with the adults. I went...

Pros: Great Bargain, Fantastic Slopes, Modern Equipment
Cons: Low Snowfall, Mild Drive

I've been skiing since I was five. I've seen a lot of the good, and a lot of the bad. Breck is definitely "one of the best." It's an all-around good resort. It has everything from the most basic of first-timers, to some of the hardest...

Pros: Great Town, Accessible bowls!
Cons: Flats, Windy!!, Long Traverses, So So trail markings...

I visited Breckenridge the spring of 1997. From my experiences there I would definitely recommend the other major resorts in Colorado for their skiing enjoyment. I have skied all of Summit Co., Lake Tahoe, Vail, Snowmass, Big Mt. Montana, Much of VT...

Back in 1996 my husband and I took our first ski trip to Colorado. It was actually my first skiing trip ever. We wanted to stay at a place that provided ski in/ski out services. We stayed at the Tyra Condos. This place was so nice! It was nicer than...

Pros: Lots of varied runs for all levels. Great snow.
Cons: Can get crowded, but usually at expected times.

We visited Breckenridge for the first time from January 22 - 29, 2000. We had a blast! The snow arrived the first day we did and dumped some everyday for a total of almost 50 inches that week. Talk about great powder. Our gang consisted of ages 5 -...

Cons: Beginner/intermediate terrain crowded Hiking required for extreme terrain

I went to Breckenridge in early March, 2005. I was there on a Friday, as well as the first weekend of Colorado's March Break. Having read some reviews, I was concerned about the crowds. However, if you are an expert skier, you have nothing to worry ...

Pros: Size, number of ski lifts, town

I visited Breckenridge during the last part of January of 2000. I should state that this was my first time ever skiing and the first time I have ever seen more than a inch or two of snow at the same time! The group I traveled with (over 30 people) flew...

Pros: Town, learning terrain, moderately priced lodging
Cons: skiing too fragmented, boring advanced skiing, extremely poor shuttle system

Ive been to Breckenridge 5 times over the last 18 yrs or so and have seen it change. Compared to many other destinations, it just comes up short. The mountain is too fragmented and the skiing is generally quite bland and boring. The few spots that ...

Breckenridge is Awesome! Ski all day and relax the rest of the time cause you're in paradise! The best time to visit Breckenridge is late February to early March. Then the temperatures aren't as cold, there is more sun in the day, and that is also the...

Pros: mixed skiers levels off the same ski runs
Cons: not a total ski village - transportation is needed

Breckenridge is a great area to visit both in the summer and winter. During the winter there is generally lots of great skiing as well as a complete compliment of other winter activities; skating - indoors and outdoors, sleigh rides for dinner or just a...

Pros: great variety in skill levels, lots of beginner slopes, shopping galore for those who don't ski or on "off ski" days.

Our trip was in a word "AWESOME". We had such a great time.

Cons: No Airport

For those of you who love skiing, as I do, sometimes you want to hit up a large and well known ski resort without the large crowds. Or maybe go skiing in a place where you have options other than the $10 hamburger and $7 fries. This place is...
