Breckenridge and Summit County are home to world-class Colorado skiing and snowboarding with easy access to some of the best resorts in North America. Averaging more than 300 inches of snow per year and lots of sunshine, the skiing and riding is truly unmatched.

 

Between Breckenridge, Copper Mountain, Keystone Resort, Arapahoe Basin and not so distant Vail and Beaver Creek resorts, there is plenty of variety for everyone in your family to choose from.

 

Breckenridge

For skiers and snowboarders alike, Breckenridge boasts a top-rated terrain park and pipe each year. The mountain is one of the best places to learn either sport with great beginner terrain and a state-of-the-art Ski and Ride School. For those that like a challenge, Breckenridge has great groomed and advanced terrain. Enjoy amazing alpine vista views from the top of the Horseshoe Bowl or Imperial lift at 12,998 feet – the highest lift in North America.

 

Copper Mountain

Copper’s known for its naturally divided terrain, which separates skiers and riders naturally by ability. This award-winning trail system is part of the reason Copper is a favorite local resort.

 

Keystone Resort

Keystone is home to three magnificent mountain playgrounds—Dercum Mountain, North Peak and The Outback. For something different, take a guided KAT tour into Independence Bowl for an unbeatable, exclusive ski experience. Keystone also offers night skiing for those that have to work from nine to five. Just because you have to work doesn't mean you don't get to play.

 

Arapahoe Basin

‘The Legend’ is famous for the steep terrain and last season increased its terrain by 80% by opening Monezuma Bowl on the back side of the ski area. The area offers on of the longest ski seasons in the country – usually opened late October through mid-June.

 

No matter where you chose to live in Summit County, chances are that the drive to your favorite ski area will be less than thirty minutes.
