In the US state of Colorado, the Breckenridge resort is located in the Rocky Mountains, which together with six other areas form the Summit Country ski area. Copper Mountain, Keystone, Frisco, Dillon, Silverthorne and Leadville are nearby. Sufficient snow cover ensures quality skiing from the beginning of November to the end of April. Nevertheless, snow cannons are also on standby in each area, but these are used once a year to speed up the opening of the resort during the first frosts in October. The sun shines here about 300 days a year, quality and loose powder still stays here for a long time. Skiing on the local slopes is a relaxing and enjoyable experience.
According to existingcountries, Breckenridge offers skiers 152 downhill runs, of which about 36% are intended primarily for experienced skiers. The most popular ski slope is the 5.6 km long Four O´clock. The lower parts of the slopes are hidden in a dense fir forest, while the upper terrains are mostly bare. However, the peak is often hit by massive gusts of wind, so it is officially closed. Skiers on the slopes are transported by 29 mostly chair lifts, with an elevation gain of more than 1000 meters. There are no crowds at the cable cars and ski lifts. There are no turnstiles by the cable cars, ski passes are checked by young temporary workers.

The ski resort is provided by an ancient town, which lies high at an altitude of 3000 meters. In 1859, after finding the gold, a gold rush broke out here, and subsequently there was a great development in the town. To this day, however, Breckenridge retains a touch from the time of precious metal seekers. The town was built in the traditional Victorian style, but is also complemented by modern buildings with hotels and guesthouses. You can stay in the cheapest hostel, but also in a five-star hotel, it’s up to you. The city center is a long main street lined with shops and restaurants. There are snowdrifts all around and you can’t believe you’re in the Wild West. Due to the 3,000 meters above sea level, some visitors may experience stomach upset, headaches and dizziness caused by alpine illness. With these problems, one has to drink enough fluids and it is good to get an oxygen bottle. Two days is usually enough to acclimatize. However, staying at this resort is relatively expensive, ski pass prices are around $ 80 a day and accommodation and meals are not cheap either. Therefore, many tourists use the so-called happy hour in restaurants, where individual restaurants provide discounts on alcoholic beverages and appetizers. There are not many Mexican restaurants, but also restaurants with traditional dishes. You can relax skiing in the whirlpool, which can be found at many luxury hotels. where individual restaurants provide discounts on alcoholic beverages and appetizers.
