Weekend in Breckenridge? Let us help you make the most of it.
Wether you visit the Town of Breckenridge for an extended vacation, a weekend, or a day trip, we want you to have the best experience possible. Making it to the mountains is half the battle, but that’s when the fun starts!
If you make it into town before you hit the slopes, we recommend visiting Daylight Donuts for some grub to help you fuel those turns. <— If you see this sign, you’re in the right place!
If you just want a quick bite and a coffee, Clint’s Bakery is our go to (located next to Breck Sports on Main St) which is convenient if you need to get rentals.
When it comes to skiing, Breckenridge has a wide range of runs for beginners, experts, and every skill level in-between. Peak 9 is a great area on the mountain for beginner skiers and snowboarders to warm up and get comfortable on the mountain. When you are ready, take Falcon Chair over to explore Peak 10 and the magic that it has to offer. And if you are lucky enough to get a fresh layer of snow while you are visiting, we recommend spending your time on Peak 6 as it is a special place when it gets powder.
After a few hours of skiing, it’s normal (and encouraged) to take a break a get some food. Located at the bottom of Peak 8 (or the top of the gondola) T-Bar is a great spot. Even if you’re not skiing, it is an ideal place to grab a bite and beer, take a seat outside, and watch the skiers and snowboarders rip down the mountain. (You might even get to see a few wipeouts). Even if you are not skiing, Gondola rides are free to all.
At the end of a day on the mountain, a proper dinner is in order. If you’re looking for easy bar food like pizza, wings, fried pickles and the like, then we recommend Downstairs at Eric’s.
If you want something a little more fancy, and are willing to spend a little bit of money, Twist is a lovely little cocktail bar with an eclectic menu of satiating mains and fun appetizers. At the corner of Ridge St. and Washington St. this original house holds a cozy western vibe.
Overall there is plenty to do in Breckenridge, and you don’t have to take our advice! No matter where you go and what you decide to do, a weekend in Breckenridge is always a good time.
