Thw festival takes place in the Main Street Station plaza, a short walk from Blue Sky, or an even shorter ride in the Blue Sky shuttle! This event tends to sell out so get your mugs asap!

Epic Spring Conditions at Breck!

JustinB — Fri, 11 Mar 2011 21:03:19 +0000

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!
