First time here, skiied two days and had a great time!…read more For Coloradoans this year yielded poor snowfall but for us being used to skiing the Northeast, conditions were great! We definitely aren't used to big open bowls and had a hard time figuring out where 'trails' were so the upper part of the mountain was a struggle. The lodge was nothing special for the most part except that they have a microwave which is awesome.

Winter Park is always a blast! One of my favorite mountains I've been to…read more I heavily recommend the Mary Jane side of the mountain, especially for fellow snowboarders. Less moguls, usually less traffic, and some opportunities to play in the trees. The folks operating the mountain are always kind and on solo days I seemed to find new friends on the lift ride to the top. Friendly folks all around. Stay safe. Have fun. And shred on!

My impressions of this park are probably impacted by the fact that they desperately need snow. (As…read moremost ski resorts out here do). However other factors also influenced my impression. They need better access to maps, both the posted sign size and paper maps. For example, a trail map at bottom of each lift and at top of lift would be good too esp when more than 1 lift ends at same location. And why not put a map of ski village buildings on the trail map to help with orientation. I wish they would have groomed the trails more so in the morning so snow would have been fresher. It just seemed to make it more icy by grooming at night. Since many trails were closed people were condensed into those trails that were open. Squeezing more people into a smaller area will course make lift lines crowded but also puts more traffic on the slopes. The lift lines were absolutely ridiculous on the weekend. I didn't pay that much for lift ticket to repeatedly stand in lift line for 20 minutes. Also it would have been nice to have an increase in ski patrol monitoring some of the trails to discourage the aggressive behavior including the boarder who purposely ran into me and knocked me down. (When they laugh and keep going you know it was on purpose) We purchased lift tickets months ago so I don't remember the details of the process except that it wasn't straightforward. I ordered lift tickets for both myself and my husband so assuming I did the same thing each time but no he got a pass with early up access and I didn't. Weird. Okay here are some positives: I do like the availability of restrooms throughout the resort including up on some slopes. That is very nice. I appreciated sharing the slopes with amputees and individuals using wheelchairs. It is nice to see the inclusivity. I also really enjoyed going up to Sunspot lodge in the evening for sunset. That was very fun.

Personal favorites: Queso tots (loaded Colorado tots) Wings (garlic Parmesan is the best garlic Parmesan wing I have literally ever had) but all other flavors are great too Quality is top notch, they don't skimp on ingredients, and I've tried many things and have yet to be disappointed, only pleasantly surprised. See you next visit!

Unfortunately the roll they serve it on is a bit much but is evened out by the price and the crispy tots. I only had an NA beer there but thought it was pretty tasty. I think we got lucky sitting at the bar but we had great service. The bartender working behind the counter clearly loved his job and was really engaging when taking our orders. I have been here a few times and the service and food can be a hit or miss but this last time gave it another star in my book. One drawback being the noise level can get pretty loud and the self serve water station is weird when you're sitting at a table already. Overall it's a great spot with really great potential

The 10th mountain hut employees are super helpful and quick to respond. The only negative our family experienced was that the 6 mile hike was actually more difficult than we expected. The 1500 ft elevation gain took our very active, but not elite, family 6 hours to reach the hut which was a mircle given the extremely poor signage. (1 cardboard sign, that was blown in half, which was on a tree that was not obvious, especially when it was dark.) It only took us 3.5 hours to get back to the parking lot. Highly recommend this hut but don't rely on the signage. GPS worked the entire route thankfully.

Beautiful nevertheless!

I have this list of resorts to ski at that I have been checking off over the years. I feel like…read moreBreckenridge Ski Resort has been on that list forever. My buddy and I finally made the drive over from Arizona and had a blast skiing here. Breckenridge Ski Resort (or just Breck) is a popular resort that is owned and operated by Vail Resorts, Inc. We have Epic Passes and used them while we were here. Breckenridge Ski Resort opened in 1961 and has a total of 35 chair lifts. It has five peaks that are part of the Ten Mile Range. We stayed in nearby Frisco and made the short drive over each morning. We then took the BreckConnect Gondola to Peak 8 and began our day there. Lower Peak 8 is home to the base village of Breckenridge Ski Resort. There are places to eat, shop and rent gear in this area. For trails, there is a good mix of beginner, intermediate and advanced runs that you can access from Lower Peak 8. Check out Ullr, the Norse god of Snow statue while you are here at base village. My buddy and I are intermediate skiers that mix in some black runs here and there. I personally have been skiing since my teenage years. We spent most of our first day skiing runs off the Colorado and Rocky Mountain Superchair lifts to get our warmup reps in. We then finished our day hitting some blue runs over at Peak 6. There are a number of places to grab food and drinks. We hit Sevens (at the base of Peak 7) for an early morning Bloody Mary. We also grabbed lunch at T-Bar over at base village. But for the most part, we snacked on granola bars and other goodies that we carried in our pockets. We like to grab hotels that have a big continental breakfast so that we don't have to spend a lot of cash on food on the slopes. Day Two we wanted more challenging runs. Some people told us that Whale's Tail is a good challenge and fun to ski on. Whale's Tail is a double black diamond run that has a 604-foot drop, from 12,858 to 12,254 feet. It is nestled between Peak 7 and 8 and you have to take the Imperial Express lift to get to it. Imperial Express is the highest lift in North America at 12,840 feet. Crossing the catwalk in strong windy weather was no fun. But you get beautiful views of the entire mountain from the top of Whale's Tail once you get there. If was worth the challenge and we had fun skiing down it. The rest of the day we took it easy and skied mostly green and blue runs over at Peak 8 and 9 to wrap up our trip. We enjoyed hanging out in the town of Breckenridge after our two days of skiing. The town itself is very charming and has a number of bars and restaurants. Breckenridge attracts all sorts of outdoor enthusiasts in both the summer and winter. Breckenridge Ski Resort has made the town a popular destination for skiers since it opened in the 60's. The town is definitely worth a stop after a day on the slopes.

For our main course, we split the lobster capellini bolognese which included a 4oz lobster knuckle in addition to pieces of lobster mixed throughout the sauce. The pasta was freshly made in-house and the sauce was, thankfully, on the lighter side so we could enjoy splitting the 7-layer chocolate cake with a side of vanilla ice cream. THAT was absolutely delicious with some crunch, some fudginess, some cakiness - enough variety to have your taste buds jumping for joy.
