Late Spring Operations
High alpine spring vibes can be enjoyed all the way into May at Breck!
High Five to Spring Vibes into May
Spring is one of our favorite times of the year at Breck for skiing and riding, and there are plenty of chances to get your spring turns in with the resort regularly scheduled to operate as long as possible into May, until the snow melts! Thanks to a base elevation of 9,600 feet above sea-level, including the highest chairlift in North America – the Imperial SuperChair – and the good work of our friend, Ullr, Breck often boasts spectacular spring snow conditions, and offers one of the longest-running ski seasons of any major resort in the country.
Beginning in late April, intermediate-, advanced- and expert-level skiers and riders can celebrate spring and get on snow long after many resorts have closed for the season, with access to signature high alpine terrain across Peaks 6, 7 and 8. Warmer weather, long sunny days, goggle tans and the occasional spring powder day - what's not to love?!
Heads up! There is no beginner terrain available during late spring operations and all skiing and riding is intermediate-and-above level terrain.
Late Spring Operating Plans
All Five Peaks will remain open through Sunday, April 16. Beginning Monday, April 17 we will move to our late season operating footprint. While operations are subject to change, and Mother Nature has the ultimate say since everything on mountain is weather and conditions dependent, if everything goes according to plan, here is what’s planned for our late season operations. We’re planning to ski and ride as long as the snow lasts into May!
Starting Monday, April 17, the following lifts will operate for late spring skiing and riding:
Peak 8
Base area access out of Peak 8 is planned through April 23; after that all access to late season skiing and riding will be out of Peak 7.
- Colorado SuperChair (through April 23)
- Rocky Mountain SuperChair (through April 23)
- Rip's Ride (through April 23)
- Imperial SuperChair
- T-Bar
Peak 7
- Independence SuperChair
Peak 6
- Zendo Chair
- Kensho SuperChair
BreckConnect Gondola
The BreckConnect Gondola will operate daily through April 30, 2023 for access to Peaks 7 and 8. After April 30, the BreckConnect Gondola will be closed for the season until we open for summer operations (planned for June 30). This is a part of our collaboration with the Town of Breckenridge to help support the health of the Cucumber Gulch Preserve and wildlife that migrates through the gulch and under the gondola in the spring.
Splash Into Spring Pond Skim - Saturday, April 29
Back and new this year, our annual Splash Into Spring Pond Skim will take place on Peak 7 for some slipping, sliding, and soaking up the sun. Show off your pond skimming skills while competing for Best Overall Skim, Best Costume, and Biggest Splash! Registration is full but, luckily, pond skimming is an excellent spectator sport so join us to witness all the action and cheer on your friends on Saturday, April 29 starting at 10 AM.
