It all starts off with a quick donut at Daylight Donuts to get the energy going for the full day ahead. Grab your skis and hop on the Quicksilver Lift. The Quicksilver lift bypasses some of Breckenridge's beginner terrain. Since we are well beyond the french fry / pie method of skiing, we'll just watch the first day skiers tumble down the hill while we're on route to the powder stashes on Peak 10. When you unload from the Quicksilver, head down the Falcon Chair and get ready for some of Breckenridge's best glade skiing. The Falcon will take you to the top of "The Burn" which is short but steep and generally holds nice stashes of powder. Make a couple laps on the Burn and then duck over to the south side of Peak Ten for some powder bumps on "The Mustang". There's some fun little natural kickers that all provide soft landings. Just make sure you have enough speed for getting back to the lift because the run out can be flat especially if there's deep snow.
Now we're ready to traverse cross mountain to E-Chair. Make lap after lap of fresh powder as you keep an eye on Peak 8 and the highest chairlift in North America, the infamous "Imperial Superchair". If you time it right, you can milk the terrain of E-Chair and as soon as the Imperial lift opens charge up to the top of Peak 8. Peak 8 provides inspirational views of the Upper Blue Valley and at 12,998 feet above sea level, this is the highest lift served terrain in North America. For a little "scare factor" make sure you chuck yourself off the Lake Chutes for some of Summit Counties steepest terrain. This also accesses Breckenridge's newest terrain -- Snow White. The possibilities are endless once your up at Peak 8. You can drop into Whale's Tail for some wind harvested powder, or carve deep powder turns after hiking Peak 7.
We hope you've enjoyed reading about the perfect day at the Breckenridge Ski Resort. Come and "ski" for yourself.
