As you drive into the town of Breckenridge, you can see
Breckenridge Mountain and many of the lifts. Breckenridge
Mountain has four peaks and each is labeled peak 10, peak 9,
peak 8 and peak 7. You can ski all four of Breckenridge's peaks
in one day if you are up for a hike. The only peak accessible by
lift is Peak 8.
Breckenridge has many green trails which are perfect of
beginners. So do not be intimidated when you see the tops of the
mountains, because you will not have to ride the lifts to the
top to enjoy all the skiing that Breckenridge has to offer. If
you are an intermediate skier, Breckenridge has plenty of blue
and black runs that offer wide open skiing or tree skiing.
If you enjoy extreme skiing, you'll love Breckenridge Mountain!
You can hike any of the four peaks and on peak 8, the lift that
will take you to the top.
The Imperial Express Superchair will take you 12,840 feet high
to the top of peak 8. From here, you will be able to see the
town of Breckenridge, Quandary Mountain, Baldy Mountain, Ten
Mile range, Lake Dillon and Keystone Resort. Be sure to bring
your camera so your memories last forever.
Once you reach the top of Peak 8, you can choose your own way
down the mountain. You can take Art's Bowl, Peak 7 Bowl, North
Bowl, Imperial Bowl or the Whales Tale which take you to the
Lake Chutes. This is the finest extreme skiing that you will
ever find and you will certainly enjoy your ride down!
