Frisco

Main Street of the Rockies

Frisco sits at the junction of I-70 and Highway 9, about 15 minutes north of Breck, on the shore of Lake Dillon. It calls itself the Main Street of the Rockies, and its Main Street is a relaxed, cheaper alternative to Breck's for dinner.

It's also the transport hub of Summit County. If you're coming by bus or shuttle, there's a good chance you'll pass through the Frisco Transfer Center.

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

One short email a week in season: what fell, what's open, and where to ride this weekend.
