Spring Fever in Breckenridge

Breckenridge Spring Fever

PRESENTED BY CADILLAC

APRIL 1 - 24, 2011

Breckenridge Ski Resort is proud to present our 2011 Spring Fever festival, presented by Cadillac, taking place April 1-24, 2011! Spring Fever will feature a brand new series of events taking place from April 1-24, both on the mountain and in town.

Spring Fever will take place at Breckenridge Ski Resort as the town and mountain welcome visitors to one of the best times of the year for skiing and riding. Spring in Breck is widely known for having the best snow in Colorado, along with sunny bluebird days, special events, and great deals for guests from around the state and the world. There’s no better way to send off this year’s incredible ski season than with Breck Spring Fever!

Spring Fever is based on embracing the biological change that occurs in humans as the seasons switch from winter to spring. Wikipedia defines Spring Fever as: “A term applied to several sets of physical and psychological symptoms associated with the arrival of Spring. It refers to an increase in energy and vitality, often particularly strong in those experiencing lows during the winter months.”

Breck Spring Fever will kick off the first weekend of April and will conclude on Easter Sunday, April 24, the final operating day of the ski resort this season.

Breckenridge is offering a special lodging deal for Spring!
Check out the “Spring Fever Room Night Special”, with lodging available starting at only $99 per night and 40% off condominiums! To take advantage of the Breck Spring Fever lodging special, call 800-800-STAY(7829) or visit Breckenridge Hospitality.

Also Breck has announced that the BreckConnect gondola will operate later hours in April, giving you time to come check out all these events below!
