It’s hard to tackle a mountain as big as Breck (2,358 acres across four peaks) without getting overwhelmed. With only a weekend’s worth of slopetime, stick close to Peak 8 and you’ll find everything you need. Peak 9 may have the most beginner terrain, but 8 is far less crowded. Newbies can master Rip’s Ride, working up to Chair 5 and greens like Swinger. Those looking for cruisers can ride the Colorado Superchair to blues such as Crescendo and Spruce. And experts: The Peak 8 express chairs feed into the T-Bar, which carries skiers to Contest, Horseshoe and Cucumber bowls—and beyond to the Imperial Superchair. Yes, 8 is enough after all. breckenridge. com
