Another exciting year begins Friday, Nov. 15 as Breckenridge opens for the 2013-2014 season. As we ended our 51st year with Spring Fever, an extended season and huge powder days, we'll begin with Peak 8 opening with what locals call their "favorite day of the year."
TERRAIN:
Peak 8 will be the first peak to open at Breck for the 2012/13 ski season, with approximately 40 acres of skiable terrain and two chairlifts. The Colorado SuperChair and Rip’s Ride chairs will start turning for the public at 9:00 a.m.; open trails will beinclude Springmeier and Trygve’s.
Opening Day:
Guests will be able to enjoy FREE parking in the gondola lots tomorrow, and can enjoy Breck’s new signature breakfast item, free to the first 2,000 guests, starting at 8:00 a.m. on the Ski Hill Grill patio. KSMT will be broadcasting live from the base of Peak 8, and there will be opportunities to win prizes throughout the day from on-site promotions from Red Bull and Veuve Clicquot. The GoldRunner Coaster will open at 11 a.m. and will be FREE for guests to ride when they present a lift ticket or season pass. The party continues all day long, with TBar drink specials and live entertainment until last chair of the day at 4 p.m. Lifts will open at 9:00 a.m., and Ullr will ride the first chair of the season along with winners of the "Find Ullr" contest.
