Late Spring Operations

Spring is one of our favorite times of the year at Breck. High Alpine, good vibes and great events, impeccable style – what's not to love?!

Thanks to a base elevation of 9,600 feet above sea-level, including the highest chairlift in North America – the Imperial SuperChair – and the good work of our friend, Ullr, Breck often boasts spectacular spring snow conditions, and offers one of the longest-running ski seasons of any major resort in the country. This year, the resort plans to operate through Sunday, May 11.

Beginning in late April, intermediate-, advanced- and expert-level skiers and riders can celebrate spring and get on snow long after many resorts have closed for the season, with access to signature high alpine terrain across Peaks 6, 7 and 8. Warmer weather, long sunny days, goggle tans and the occasional spring powder day - sign us up!

Heads up! There is no beginner terrain available during late spring operations and all skiing and riding is intermediate-and-above level terrain.

All Five Peaks will remain open through Sunday, April 13. Beginning Monday, April 14 we will start to move to our late season operating footprint. While operations are always subject to change, and Mother Nature has the ultimate say since everything on mountain is weather and conditions dependent, if everything goes according to plan, here is what’s on tap for our late season operations. We’re planning to ski and ride through Sunday, May 11, 2025!

Please be advised, starting Monday, April 21 there will no beginner terrain available during late season operations. The following lifts will operate for late spring skiing and riding and our lift operating hours will shift to 9 AM to 4 PM starting Monday, April 28 for the remainder of the season:

Peak 7

• Independence SuperChair

Peak 6

BreckConnect Gondola
The BreckConnect Gondola will operate daily through April 30, 2025 for access to skiing and riding. After April 30, the BreckConnect Gondola will be closed for the season until we open for summer operations on Friday, June 13. This is a part of our collaboration with the Town of Breckenridge to help support the health of the Cucumber Gulch Preserve and wildlife that migrates through the gulch and under the gondola in the spring. Starting May 1, after the closure of the BreckConnect Gondola, buses will be used to transport skiers and riders up to the resort.

Ski & Snowboard School Lessons
Group and private lessons with the Breckenridge Ski & Snowboard School will be available through Sunday, April 20. For information and to book, visit our Ski & Snowboard School page.

Springtime is all about good times and the high alpine at Breck, and we’re bringing it all together with our new spring bash, Peaks & Beats. Double down on all your favorite spring staples – high alpine laps, live music and DJs, and the annual tradition of pond skimming, with a new two-day format for two times the big Breck energy. That’s right! Two days of free concerts AND two days of pond skimming. Send it into spring in style with us at Peaks & Beats when it all goes down this spring at the center of the universe, the base of Peak 8. After our first day of pond skimming on Saturday, Dombresky will take the stage for a free live DJ set followed by Cassian throwing it down after the second pond skim sesh on Sunday. Costumes are not required but are strongly encouraged, so get out your favorite onesie, your brightest neon, or your most water-resistant denim and join us for all the fun this spring. Registration for pond skim is expected to open in April, and you can find more details on that and the entire Peaks & Beats weekend here.
