Description
Breckenridge is a great mountain town and an equally great ski town. A vertical rise of 3,398 feet and 28 lifts including two high-speed six SuperChairs and seven high-speed quads. The longest trail - Four O'Clock - is 3.5 miles long. All that terrain, professional grooming, and down-home atmosphere make it easy to see why this area is such a favorite. An 8-passenger gondola links the town to Breckenridge Ski Resort, calling it - the BreckConnect™. It runs visitors between the town and the ski resort's base area at Peak 8.
