It’s time to get into your own ski-in/ski-out Breckenridge real estate. World-class Breckenridge Ski Resort opens up November 7, 2008. Come a day early to celebrate and to see what vacation homes in Breckenridge Colorado have opened up for you and your family to view! Ride the BerckConnect Gondola directly from the skier parking lots in town to Breckenridge CO real estate at Shock Hill.
Located in Summit County Colorado, convenient to Keystone CO real estate and Park County CO ranches, Breckenridge CO second homes are solid investments in a popular area about 90 minutes from Denver.
Opening day ushers in the 2008-2009 season a bit early this year with all new terrain, lifts, and services. Although construction on Peak 8 is still in progress, Vail Resorts will host the grand opening festivities at One Ski Hill Place, new luxury Breckenridge real estate on Peak 8. Thanks to some cooler weather, snow-making machines began dressing up the mountain mid October.
The Resort and the Town of Breckenridge will be percolating with the annual Wake Up Breckenridge on Thursday morning when the Town’s leadership will distribute 1,500 free mugs and coffee at Starbucks, Clint’s Bakery & Coffee House, Cool River Coffee House, Helen’s Coffee Cart at City Market, Amazing Grace, Coffee Depot at Main Street Station, and Daylight Donuts.
By Thanksgiving, Peak 9 will be fully open along with all skier services at the village and Beaver Run base areas. By opening Peak 8 early, the Resort is able to offer new experiences on opening day including more open ski runs and lifts. Skiers and riders will have many more choices in terrain. Additionally, the mountain operations team is better able to prepare the mountain for the largest event ever: the AST Winter Dew Tour December 18-21. The Winter Dew Tour will feature freeskiing and snowboarding disciplines for both men and women. Major television networks will be broadcasting the events.
Highly favored among out-of-state and international travelers, the Resort has been the most popular ski resort in North America for the last few years. From a base elevation at 9,600 feet to the summit at 12,998, there are 2,358 acres of skiable terrain including 155 runs. Over a third of the terrain is labeled “expert” but beginner and intermediate skiers find plenty of exciting runs to practice on.
Peak 8 is normally accessed from the Colorado SuperChair, Rocky Mountain SuperChair, as well as the Peak 8 SuperConnect. The lower terrain is intermediate and advanced. The back bowl can be accessed via 6 Chair or the T-Bar and the westernmost bowls with some very difficult terrain. Advanced skiers and riders hike from the top of the Imperial lift to Peak 8 to be challenged by cornices with soft landings. The Lake Chutes are a series of small chutes with inclines up to 50 degrees and can be reachable from the top of Peak 8.
