3 Ways Breck Makes Skiing and Riding Family-Friendly

If you’ve been skiing or riding in Colorado, you probably know what a gem Breckenridge is. Located slightly off the beaten path of I-70 but still close enough to the interstate to have easy access to cleared roads and local amenities, Breckenridge is the perfect place to plan a ski trip for the whole family.

Here are 3 ways Breck makes skiing and riding family-friendly.

  1. Lessons for the Whole Family. One reason ski trips can turn into a bummer is if some members of the family don’t know how to ski or snowboard. Whether that is because your child just got old enough to get on skis, your wife has always refused to try, or your cousin Mitchell is visiting from Arizona and isn’t too sure about all this white stuff, Breckenridge offers lessons for the whole family. They have adult lessons, child lessons, and also private lessons that are good for up to six people. What could make for better family bonding than watching your loved ones fall down in the snow—and of course get back up again?
  2. Two Words: Epic Pass. A huge benefit to many of the ski resorts being owned by the same company is the Epic Pass. True to its name, the Epic Pass allows you to ski and ride at many of the resorts in Colorado, as well as throughout the nation and even the globe. These passes are family-friendly because they are highly customizable. Different options on access to various resorts and lower prices for teens and children make it easier for families to buy passes if they plan on frequenting the powder this year.
  3. Plenty of Family-Friendly Dining and Lodging. While Breck does boast a great nightlife, it is also the perfect resort and town to bring your family. Downtown Breck has many family-friendly restaurants, a place to grab a hot cocoa on just about every corner, and several playgrounds and toy stores. Your experience in Breck with the family will not disappoint.

For these three reasons and lots more, Breckenridge makes a great destination for your family this winter.
