You know the feeling well. You load up the car and head for the slopes. The anticipation and excitement builds the closer you get to the gondola. Those ski legs are itching to glide down the mountain and you walk up to the Colorado SuperChair. You laugh and share stories of seasons past on the way up. Look back at the Continental Divide in all it’s majesty. Yep, you’re here. You feel it. The contagious energy. You’ve got it. You know you’ve caught The Breck Effect. Let that rally cry ring as we set our sights on new horizons and transform the resort experience. We’re summoning Ullr earlier than ever, unveiling a revitalized base area at Peak 8, Breck Base Camp, turning our snowmaking up to eleven, and pumping the energy all the way through Spring Finale. We'll see you on the hill. https://www.breckenridge.com
