In sprawling Breckenridge, you should stay where you plan to ski. And that’s Peak 7, where the Independence Superchair serves expert glades and chutes far above treeline. Crystal Peak Lodge, which opened this season at the base of Peak 7, makes life easier. The timber-and-moss-rock lodge is ski-in/ski-out to the BreckConnect Gondola and the Superchair. Inside the décor is warm-wooded with knotty alder accents, and the one- to four-bedroom suites have kitchens with granite counters and stainless appliances. Downstairs, look for outdoor hot tubs and a fitness center, lest you didn’t get enough action on Breck’s 2,358 acres. $375–$875; crystalpeaklodge.com
