Our Soundtrack to Your Crew's Perfect Powder Day

To the fanatics, the addicts and the enthusiasts, there’s nothing quite like a powder day. It’s the weightless feeling of floating across snow, of sending it into a soft and fluffy landing, and of being totally present in a moment. Something you can’t get anywhere else, and something you’ll never forget. The feeling is nostalgic, and yet it never gets old.

There’s an old saying in the ski industry that, there are no friends on a powder day... But at Breck, we respectfully disagree. Yes, it’s about forgetting the rest of the world beyond the mountain that day. But sharing that boundless joy with your fellow lovers of snow is one of the greatest bonds that exists between skiers and riders. Powder days are arguably the best variety of skiing and riding there is. And like most things in life, the best of anything is even better with friends by your side. So, blast your favorite tunes, find your friends, and gear up – what are you waiting for?

For the days when your life feels like a movie, we’ve got you covered with the perfect soundtrack. Start picturing the highlight reel now, or make your own ski or snowboard edit to the pulsing beat of one of our top powder day picks. We put together a mixtape for each of our Five Peaks, so find your favorite and turn up the volume on your way to the mountain or when you’re still physically at the office but your mind is daydreaming of fresh lines in the high alpine with your crew.

Check out the Five Peaks Playlists that Breck has on repeat this season and start hyping up your homies. There are powder days ahead this winter. Tell your friends. #FriendsOnAPowderDay

Friends enjoy a foggy day at Breck

Peak 6: The Sensory Experience

Playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0y1W2iEwGjOxSTpoDFMXqS?si=249c224182344a91

 

Dreamy, airy, and sublime, Peak 6 will transport you into the clouds and out of your body. Jump into this beautifully strange reality and find balance between hot and cold, light and heavy, serene and euphoric. Peak 6 is your gateway to the high-alpine. A whole new world of above treeline bliss. When you’re ready to elevate your trip, go beyond the lift, find serenity in the boot pack and awaken your sixth sense with hypnotic big mountain views, mind-bending drops and the rhythm of heart-pounding no-fall zones. It’s your portal into a snowy nirvana. And it will have you saying, namaste on 6. 

 

Peak 7: The Smooth Operator 

Playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2hRKgj8PQMirHCXB8k4TD3?si=07920e808f2d4977

 

Timeless, classic and cool. Peak 7 is the easy rider that keeps the good times rolling but also likes to jam out. Groomers in the front, high-alpine party in the back! Peak 7 is a classic cruiser’s dream above and below treeline. It’s all about feeling your edges carve into fresh turns, the smooth symphony of snow, like surfing in slow-mo. It’s turning on the radio and going for a drive on a Sunday afternoon with the top down. When you’re ready, find your stairway to Peak 7 heaven in the high alpine and enjoy the ride, where all that glitters might actually be gold.

Peak 8: The Pulse on Heartbeat

Playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5Xx9rAxnrKbhqyswWOgpZr?si=e8c664b9d94a4bdf

 

The life of the party! From the drum beat of the base to the top of the high alpine charts, Peak 8 doesn’t miss a beat. Feel the buzz and the energy of Breck’s heartbeat, get sky high in Colorado on the Imperial SuperChair, turn up the volume in Horseshoe Bowl, jam in the park, and maybe even spot a DJ (snow)Cat. When you’re ready to take the party from the mountain to après, do it in style and shuffle over to the 4 O’Clock trail. Bonus track! Take it from the top, and ski from the highest chairlift on the continent right into town. 

 

Peak 9: The Fresh Start

Playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4tgPt2XxJrb757kMDLL9Y2?si=5ec2a6c7f90b49ad

 

Boogie on over to Peak 9, where you gotta get up to get down! It’s just a jump to the left and step to the right, one turn into the next, and you’ll be groovin’ and movin’ like a pro. Peak 9 is easy as 1-2-3., starting smooth and mellow down low and working its way up to fun and flowy. Off the beaten path, find some bumpy and funky jams. Mix it up and bop around Peak 9 like a playlist on shuffle with 5 different lifts that will have you moving all over the slope like it’s a dance floor.  Whether you’re starting fresh, looking for a refresh, or just trying to be fresh, Peak 9 will put the moves in motion. 

 

Peak 10: The Wild Child

Playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4FWRJCOg75WZoPFp2DmW7H?si=9a65ad4267934e95

 

Edgy, daring, and just a tad rebellious, Peak 10 is where you can turn it up to 11. Head over to 10 for some seriously lap-able terrain where there is always one more hit in the encore and you can rack and stack vertical feet like they’re notches on your belt.  Walk the line and keep pace strumming along on the groomers, then kick it up a notch, plug in the amp and turn it up allll the way to rock out on the north and south sides.
