After a "few" years of not skiing, this mountain offered a quick re-aclimation to skiing. Very well run and the mountain staff were excellent. Fantastic place for kids to get some ski time in. You can quickly move up to the harder trails without too much trouble. Highly recommend this Peak for everyone..
Peak 9 has great slopes for the Beginner and Intermediates. Access to Peak 10 (Black and Double Black slopes). Plenty of lifts, rarely a wait, friendly staff. We go every year and love it. Easy access with (free) buses and very close parking lot (5 minute walk, $12/day).
There was a nice variety of green slopes to get back into the groove of things and blue slopes for when you were ready to challenge yourself. Peak 8 has a better selection of blacks.
Nice runs. A great place for the first tracks program. The lifts were fast and convenient to many intermediate runs and a few black groomers.
I love to ski but am not that great at it. I don't like to be afraid - just like to go up and down and enjoy the experience. Peak 9 has the best beginner slopes around - much better than Keystone, I think. Of course, there are blues and access to blacks, but I will take those awesome, easy greens.
Mostly blue trails but very nice and very skiable. Good uphill capacity especially if you use Beaver Run. Love skiing at Breck
This is where I take beginners to learn how to ski. Long easy runs, like a really long gentle driveway...
While Breckenridge can be known for its wind, the runs on Peak 9 are fairly sheltered. Only bad thing about Peak 9--Vail Corporation took over the restaurant at Peak 9 so it is now too crowded with chairs/tables and the food is way overpriced like the other on-mountain restaurants.
Lunch is expensive, Drinks are expensive - but your a captive audience on a mountain ski slope, so not alot you can do besides bringing your own box lunch.
This peak has a large variety of slopes and ability levels for any level skier. There is a shuttle drop off right by the lift, making it very convenient.
