Saturday: Adventure & Apres-Ski Fun
Hit the Slopes at Breckenridge Ski Resort

Non-Skiers: Explore the Outdoors
Not a skier? No problem! Try:
- Snowshoeing at Sallie Barber Mine Trail

- Snowmobiling through the backcountry
- Tubing at Carter Park
In the summer, swap the snow for:
- Hiking to Mohawk Lakes
- Mountain biking on Flume Trail
- Whitewater rafting on the Blue River
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.
Dinner & Nightlife
For an unforgettable dining experience, visit Aurum for delicious small plates and an intimate mountain ambiance. After dinner, check out Broken Compass Brewing or The Gold Pan Saloon, one of the oldest bars in Colorado, for a nightcap.
Sunday: Brunch & Last-Minute Adventures
Brunch at Blue Moose Café
Before heading home, fuel up at Blue Moose Café, a local breakfast staple serving up legendary pancakes and huevos rancheros.
Ride the BreckConnect Gondola
Take a scenic (and free!) gondola ride from town to Peak 8. Even if you’re not skiing, the views alone are worth it!
Explore the Breckenridge Distillery
End your trip with a tour and tasting at Breckenridge Distillery, where you can sample award-winning bourbon and craft cocktails.
