During the winter, the world-class peaks at Breckenridge come alive with skiers and snowboarders who all enjoy the champagne powder and beautiful weather. The historic Breckenridge ski resort is a competitor amongst the country’s top ski resorts because it has one of the highest chairlifts in North America, and a gondola ski lift that allows skiers to board directly from the parking lot. Not all of Breckenridge’s winter guests are there to ski. In fact, the main attraction for many visitors is in exploring the scenery and landscapes just outside their Breckenridge lodging, either on snowshoes, cross-country skis, or snowmobiles.
