Biking in Breckenridge

Last weekend I got a chance to take a bike ride around Breckenridge. It was so nice and relaxing. I couldn't have asked for better weather. A couple of my friends and I rented cruiser bikes at the River Mountain Lodge Bike shop, ResortQuest Ski and Sport. They had great rates and were so helpful. Some of the guys rented out the mountain bikes and headed up to Peak 9. They had tons of fun too!

The Ski and Sport shop had some great retail stuff too. I couldn't leave without getting a Breckenridge sweatshirt for my brother.

January 6, 2007, Breckenridge, Colorado – Breckenridge has reached a new milestone in its development with the opening of the new BreckConnect Gondola.

The gondola has a mid-station stop at Shock Hill and continues onto a terminal at Peak 8. Another terminal at Peak 7 is scheduled to open in 2008. The gondola was designed in an effort to improve base transportation for day skiers driving from the Front Range. It has improved access to the mountain, by eliminating the need for shuttle transfers and decreasing the transportation time from parking to base to approximately eight minutes. The resort plans to operate the gondola during both winter and summer seasons.

Breckenridge Ski Resort Ranked #6 Best Overall Resort by SKI Magazine

Breckenridge, Colorado – October 4, 2006. Breckenridge has done it again. SKI Magazine just announced the results of their annual resort ranking reader's poll and Breckenridge held strong with a #6 “Overall Best Resort” ranking again last year.

“With a base elevation of 9,600 feet, Breckenridge starts where most resorts end”, SKI Magazine. Although aided by an above average elevation and assisted by below average temperatures and reliable snow conditions, the results represent a major accomplishment for both the town and the Vail Resorts-run resort. Long-esteemed for being on the cutting-edge of the snowboard scene, Breckenridge has struggled against a reputation for being a “beginner’s hill”, with a severe lack of steep, expert terrain.

However, the 2005 – 2006 season saw the birth of the Peak 8 summit lift – The Imperial Chair – which opened up over 400 acres of previously hike-to-only, double-black, expert terrain. Topping out at a massive 12,840 feet altitude, the Imperial Chair ranks as the highest chairlift in North America and gave credibility to Breckenridge’s mountain stats.

“As the highest lift in North America, accessing some of Breckenridge’s most amazing intermediate and expert terrain, this lift is the crowning touch on an already fabulous resort,” Roger McCarthy, chief operating officer for Breckenridge Ski Resort.

In 2007 the resort plans to open the “Breck Connect” gondola, the first gondola in the history of the resort, which will transport skiers and riders from the downtown skier lots to the base of Peaks 7 & 8. With new developments by Vail Resorts Development Group and Gold Point Development slated to break ground at the Peak 7 & 8 base areas in the summer of 2007, the gondola is seen as a drastic improvement to the overall Breckenridge skier experience.
