Drone question

Hey there - first time in Breck next week. Was hoping to bring my drone and get some nice landscape shots. We’ve got a house south of town on the main road.

It looks like drones aren’t allowed up the mountain or on the resort land, but are drones allowed at all in any of the rest of the Breck area if we’re just doing some normal hikes that aren’t up the mountains?

What is it like working in the rental shop at Breckenridge resort?

I have an offer with housing to work at Breckenridge as a “rental associate”. The job description is very vague so I’m trying to get an understanding of what the job is like. Does the shop get super busy like the resort? Will I have much free time to snowboard? Do you get riding breaks during the day?

Transportation/Shuttle/Parking Mega Thread 2024-2025

Please post all transportation/parking/shuttle/directions questions in this Mega Thread

All the parking rules and information for the town is located on the Breck Park website. Keep in mind they WILL ticket and fine you if you are parked illegally. They literally have people who walk up and down main street (and town) all day checking and rechecking license plates. Thats the their job.. all day.

If you are RENTING a car from Denver, please keep in mind the Colorado Traction Laws. Don’t be the reason I-70 gets shut down.

Most of the main town is walk-able so it’s always recommended to grab a shuttle from the airport vs renting a car.

Denver Airport to Breckenridge Shuttles

Epic Mountain Express – Vail Run

  • 20% off with an Epic Pass

Peak 1 Express (Mountain Shuttle)

Summit Express

  • Coupon code REDDIT for guests to receive $5 off our shared shuttle service.

Fresh Tracks Transportation

GoSno

Colorado Department of Transportation Shuttle

The Bustang/SnowStang

In-Town Bus System – FREE

Breck Free Ride

Summit County Bus System

Summit Stage

Boreas Pass Loop is exclusive to Breckenridge. And Blue River is kind of Breckenridge too. Plus there are a few stops on the north end of town that are only accessible by the Frisco/Breckenridge Route.

FAQ:

Where can I overnight park?

Breck Park allows overnight parking in the Airport Road Lot (1700 Airport Road, Breckenridge, CO 80424) and must be purchased in advanced.

Can I vehicle camp?

No vehicle camping is allowed in the Town of Breckenridge per Town Ordinance 6-3H- 4

Screw it I will just Uber everywhere...

Uber/Lyft/Ridesharing can take a while, and it may not be available if there's a big storm or very late at night, so do NOT rely on it like you would in Denver or another major city. Best bet is the bus system, hotel shuttle or walking while in town.

BreckConnect Gondola

Hey everyone, I’m sure you’re tired of this question being in the sub but I can’t find anything on google. Is the gondola open, or going to be open, from 10/7-10/9. My girlfriend and I are taking a quick trip to the area and it’s one of the things we would like to do if it’s possible.

Thank you for any help!

Applied

I just applied to Breckenridge resort to be a server. I have 10 years in restaurant and management experience. I currently live in SC and I applied October 1st, I was wondering what my odds would be to be hired. After some research I'm wondering if I may have applied too late or maybe housing is full by now. What do yall think ?

Hawai'i to Breckenridge Family Trip

Hi all, I'm looking for some input on a family vacation to Colorado in February of 2025. For background, we'll have two kids under 4, and about 10 adults aged 25-68. Some of our main focuses would be train rides, snowmobiling, and hot springs. We are currently looking at Breckenridge. We'd fly from Big Island to Denver and rent a car to get where we want to go. Any info or help is appreciated!

Need advice for trip planning

Found a really cheap flight for a trip in the second week of December, and I'm thinking about jumping on it. I've never been skiing out west before and I've always wanted to go.

I'm concerned that conditions won't be very good, especially with the warmer weather and shorter winters I've been experiencing at home in the last few years. How good is mountain coverage/snow usually at that time of the season?

Also thinking about Winter Park for the same time period so advice with that decision would be appreciated too.

Two 14,000 footers

Hi! My group had plans to do DeCaliBron but we may scale it back to 2. I’ve googled and unable to find the answer:

Are we able to hike Democrat and California then come back down? I’m assuming we’d just walk back across the saddle after hitting California, and head back down the way we came up, but hoping for confirmation.

Thank you!

Anybody catch the moose sitting in the middle of Highway 9 tonight?

Three cop cars have a lane blocked off while there’s a large female laying down in the road (her head was up and moving) wonder if she’s injured because I’ve never seen one plopped down in the middle of the highway before. Just north of the 7-11.

PSA: the speed limit in the left lane on 9 is now 45 mph for anyone out of state.

Blue River's speed limit has actually dropped to 38 mph. Please drive accordingly, and please drift into the other lane when admiring the views.

Tyra Summit inquiry

Hey there Breckenridge fam. I come about 2x a year and this year I’ll be staying at the Tyra Summit. I’ll have my family with me and they just wanted to not walk to a lift so I found maybe the only true ski in and ski out. Was wondering if anyone had some answers or insight to some questions I have straight away. I’m just gonna spit it out, if you can answer wonderful or any other info is great! Am I correct that it is a true ski in and ski out? What’s the best way of going to town and walking Main Street? (It seems it could be walkable, but some of family is a bit older and again doesn’t want to do a marathon) I guess really what I’m wondering is the topic of ski in ski out and like the rules there. As well as how we can still experience the town, maybe the bus comes through idk.

I know that was a lot there, my thoughts just spilled on the screen. But any knowledge or recommendations would be great! As far as the skiing itself goes, I’m pretty advanced and have my spots at Breck, but obviously would love to talk more.

Transportation in Breckenridge

My fiancé and I are getting married this weekend in Breckenridge, CO. We booked a great air BNB but unfortunately once we got there we realized it was quite far away from downtown Breckendridge (20 minutes). This is obviously my issue since I should have looked at the location, but it sounded close to everything. We were wanting to go out for drinks a couple nights and want to obviously find a sober cab back, does anyone have any insight?? I was looking at Lyft and Uber and they are quite spendy, wasn't sure if there are other options that may have been more affordable. I'm pretty bummed out we are so far away from everything.

Why buy a single day lift ticket instead of an Epic Day Pass?

I'm asking because it seems obvious to get an Epic Day Pass, so why would someone choose a one day lift ticket? It says "which product is right for you?" and I'm thinking...the one that's $134 cheaper. I suppose it's the refundability of the lift ticket?

Best resort to stay on honeymoon?

My fiancé and I will be spending a week in Colorado in February 2025 for our honeymoon. We are spending a couple of days in Breckenridge, and both have never been before.

Does anyone have recommendations for a nice resort to stay at? Not looking to spend a crazy amount, but would like to stay somewhere nice with a view of the mountains, and close to walk to some restaurants and bars.

Thanks!
