Everyone loves Santa and Santa's helpers too. That's why in the winter wonderland of Breckenridge, we gathered Santa and lots of his helpers together to kick off the holiday season with us.

Breckenridge has much to celebrate this season, including 50 years of skiing with its official birthday taking place next month on December 16. This historic date in 1961 was when the resort officially opened to the public for skiing.
