Breckenridge Ski Resort USA
Breckenridge is a fantastically high ski resort in Colorado that is an advanced skiers dream with plenty of black slopes to explore and superb skiing. In many ways, Breckenridge ski resort remains a frontier ski town of the Rockies and is particularly popular with day and weekend visitors from Denver and the surrounding area. In the past, the accommodation would be booked up by these weekend visitors but the ski resort has increased in size over the years and has a number of excellent hotels as well as chalets and condominiums dotted around.
The skiing area is served by 30 lifts and is a leisurely stroll or short shuttle bus ride from the town. Most of the hotel accommodation is located in ski-out ski-in slope-side positions. The vertical drop is just over 1,000m and the ski resort itself is located at almost 3,000m, with the highest lift-accessed terrain at nearly 4,000m. This means that visitors are sleeping at an altitude that is more than 1,000m higher than almost anywhere they would normally stay in the Alps.
