Peak 6 · Kensho SuperChair
Reverie
Above treeline, on a blue.
The easiest way to ski a big view. It comes down the open bowl of Peak 6 from the top of Kensho, with the Tenmile Range all around you.

Scenic runs
Runs where you’ll want to stop
The best views at Breck are above treeline, and the good news is that you don't need to be an expert to get there. The Peak 6 blues are wide open and as scenic as anything on the mountain. If you can ski steeper terrain, the high runs off Imperial and the T-Bar are even better.
Clear mornings are best. Stop at the side of the run, not in the middle of it.

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.
