About this lift
The Rip’s Ride
Rip's Ride is the beginner chair at the Peak 8 base. It's a slow, fixed-grip quad with just 306 feet of vertical, so it's an easy first chairlift. It runs from the learning area, next to Trygve's Platter and the carpets.
Dyersville and Trygve's are the gentle greens you'll ski back down, and Dragon Trail is a kids' adventure trail through the trees.

Tips

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.
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.
