Breckenridge Ski trip recommendations

Where are you staying?

Breckenridge Brewery and Breckenridge Taphouse are cool if you like beer and breweries.

Don’t leave your boots outside, even in your car.

The Motherloaded Tavern is good soul food. Kenosha has great burgers and steaks. Mi Casa is alright Mexican.

I’d say Kenosha is a solid place to drink, and I seem to remember the O2 Lounge being okay.

Peak 7 has what I consider the most enjoyable slopes, nice rolling blues. They’re also generally less crowded than 8 and 9.

What do you need to know? Food? Rentals? Slope access?

I agree, anything specifically you're looking for?

If you're driving and not taking a shuttle, might consider buying groceries at safeway in frisco. City Market can be crazy busy a lot of times.

There's not a lot of hidden secrets about breck, its all pretty straightforward.

Lol...City Market is a complete Shiite show. Love being charged for additional plastic bags. Just cracks me up because it's a total reminder that I ain't in Kansas anymore.

Outer Range Brewery is good if you like NEIPAs

I shop at City Market in Dillon and I don’t think I’ve ever paid for plastic bags?

The one in Breck does charge for bags, Dillon doesn’t.

First time I ever put skis on in my life, my a-hole friends took me to the top of the Imperial Express Chairlift and took off.

Took a while to get down...

We went back in January. Peak 7 was extremely packed and the lift lines were absurd (like 45 minutes to an hour). Peak 8 was much better. (they have 2 Superchairs and 2 smaller lifts, and 7 only has one). We skied 8 and 9 a lot without having to wait much. Empire Burger and Motherloaded Tavern were two of our favorites in town. We also ate at The Lost Cajun, but they were out of a bunch of stuff. The wait at Downstairs at Erics is going to be crazy in the afternoon, so call ahead and check the wait times. Food on the mountain is really expensive. Like 30 bucks for a burger and chips expensive. So if you're trying to be cheap, bring a backpack with sandwiches, snacks, beer, water, etc. One of my favorite days was our last day there. It was a blizzard outside, everyone in our group went back to the house, and I sat in the TBar at the base of peak 8 for most of the day and got drunk by myself.

Been a long time since i have been but remember the boneyard as a fun un groomed area to ski.
