Lunch & Après-Ski
After a morning on the slopes, head to Robbie’s Tavern at the Base of Peak 8 for a ski-in, ski-out lunch. Then, join the après-ski crowd at Rocky Mountain Underground (RMU) or T-Bar, where you can unwind with craft beers and live music.
Relax at the Spa
Treat yourself to an afternoon of relaxation at Infinity Spa or The Spa at Breckenridge, both offering massages, facials, and a much-needed break after your adventures.
