So what's it like?
Experience the highest lift in North America at 12,840 ft
Breckenridge, known for snow, service and sunshine, is the No.1 USA resort for British skiers. Dating back 150 years, Breckenridge has maintained its 'Old West' charm of the gold mining era with the colourful Main Street having great après-ski, plenty of character and a fun and friendly atmosphere. The ski area is unbelievable and the highest area in Colorado, making Breckenridge very snow sure. Added to this is the chance to ski another four top resorts on the lift pass, Breckenridge is a great choice for the perfect Colorado ski holiday.
