Best runs

Where to ski, by ability

Breck's 187 runs split into 11% beginner, 31% intermediate, 24% advanced and 34% expert, according to the resort. That last number surprises people. There's a lot of steep terrain up high, and a lot of very friendly terrain lower down, and the two don't always meet in obvious places.

These are the runs we'd send a friend to. For every run on a peak, use the trail pages.

Quick tip

Ski & snowboard rental

Book online before you arrive and pick your gear up in town the evening before. The morning rush at the base shops can eat your first hour, and booking ahead can be cheaper.

Quick tip

Lift tickets & the Epic Pass

Breck is on the Epic Pass. Buying a ticket at the window on the day is the most expensive way up the hill, so buy ahead online or look at an Epic Day Pass if you're here for a few days.

The Friday snow email
