I visited Breckenridge one winter for a day while we were staying in Keystone. I enjoyed a day of skiing and then looked around the town before heading back. This is a really neat little town. I skied Breckenridge during December, and that year there had not been a lot of snow yet, so many of the runs were not open. I hope to go back one day later in the season so I can ski the entire mountain.
The ski area was really nice and neat. The lift lines were not bad at all, but like I said earlier, it was early season. All the people were very friendly and helpful. Our Keystone lift ticket was good for Breckenridge too, so we got to buy a multi-day ticket and use it at more than one mountain. This was cheaper than buying single-day tickets. I really enjoyed my day of skiing at Breckenridge.
The ski area is open from the middle of November to the middle of April, weather permitting, and from 8:30am until 4pm. The base elevation is 9,600 feet and the summit is 12,998 feet. They have a total of 28 lifts and 2,208 acres of terrain. They groom about 600 acres daily. The snowmaking ability is for about 516 acres. There are 146 trails, with the longest trail being 3.5 miles. The mountain consists of 15 % easiest, 33% more difficult, 20% most difficult, and 32% expert.
I hope to visit Breckenridge again soon, when I will have more time to explore the mountain and the town. The town looked really neat and clean and all the people were very friendly and helpful.
