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.
Best runs
The Breck runs with the best views, from the open blues on Peak 6 to Imperial Ridge at nearly 13,000 feet.

Scenic runs
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.

Peak 6 · Kensho SuperChair
More of the Peak 6 bowl.
Another open blue from the top of Kensho. Nothing between you and the view.

Rolling terrain and views.
Off Freedom SuperChair, and known for the view as you come over each roll.
Peak 8 · Imperial SuperChair
For experts only.
Off the top of Imperial SuperChair at nearly 13,000 feet. Our pick for the view if you can ski it.
Peak 8 · Near Vista Haus
The start of the run home.
Starting high near Vista Haus, it gives you a look across Summit County before you drop into the trees.
Peak 8 · Horseshoe Bowl T-Bar
High and open.
Off the Horseshoe Bowl T-Bar, above treeline. Best on a clear day.
Peak 8 · Horseshoe Bowl T-Bar
Another high black.
Next to Ptarmigan, and just as exposed. Save it for good visibility.

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.
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.
