Breckenridge

They have the most amazingly convenient bus service imaginable.(ok so to those of you who know I am not a real consistent convert to public transportation must be laughing!) Truthfully day one figuring it out was a nightmare but after that a breeze.

After a couple warm up runs we couldn't resist Birds of Prey NOTE THT VIA EDIT TO A LATER POST ACKNOWLEDGES THAT I GOOFED....BIRDS OF PREY IS BEAVER CREEK

NOW....THIS IS BRECKENRIDGE!
Breckinridge is also the home of the highest lift accessed run at over 13,000 feet. We skied so many runs that day up on chair 6 and the T-Bar we didn't quite make the final hike up.But we did take off from this sign to ski an awesome run called "The Whales Tail. You can actually find it (a little bit like "Where's Waldo though) from this shot taken from Keystone looking over to Breckinridge:












The day we spent exploring the Entire Imperial Area was (no one laugh!) with an official "Over 50's group". Of course we were a little skeptical, but our guide Dick was great. Plus another skier in the group had previously guided for a long time...AND a little TV trivia for you...he and his wife competed in the Amazing Race a few years ago

In summary...we've been back to Breck for many more reasons than it's the closet resort to us!
