Breckenridge is a complete resort with plenty of things to keep its over 1.5 million annual visitors happy and coming back year after year. If you can drag yourself off the slopes, make sure to check out the 19th-century historic district town, with hundreds of shops, restaurants, bars, theaters and museums. Because of the popularity of this resort holiday weekends can lead to crowds and lift lines, but in such a big resort its not hard to escape the high-traffic areas. Breckenridge has a vast and varied mountain terrain and has continued to expand in response to its appeal. There is an entirely new Peak 7 base village with slope side lodging and dining, which had been lacking in the past.
It’s easy to miss all that Breckenridge has to offer. A couple of ways to rein in such a big resort is through its specialty instruction programs. There is the “Big Mountain Experience” where an elite Breckenridge professional will school groups in how to tackle the resort’s most daunting, exciting and extreme terrain. One last bit of advice: Drink plenty of water the day or night before you begin your Breckenridge stay. It helps combat altitude sickness, which creeps up on some people heading to Breckenridge’s greatest heights, it also helps avoid muscle cramps. If you do experience muscle cramping, finish your day with a relaxing massage so you can get back on those slopes tomorrow!
