Picture
Caption: I have a little story for you, a story of a magical place called Breckenridge where I ski alllllll day and eat many delicious things and pick up my camera only to capture the things I'm doing. β·βοΈπΊπΈβ€οΈπ·π
This was a wonderful little escape and an introduction to both Vail Resorts and one of their staggering 26 ski resorts worldwide! I hope you find my tips helpful!
Picture
Caption: Me! For those that don't know I picked up skiing later in life at age 32 on work trip. (I'm a full time professional Instagrammer working in travel)
Picture
Picture
Caption: Since skiing has brought so much pleasure into my life I am particularly passionate about talking to people about why they do or don't participate in Winter sports; skiing or snowboarding. I can't have all the fun. π
This opportunity to work with Vail Resorts at Breckenridge has been a dream come true and hopefully the start of a beautiful relationship.

Caption: I'm going to tell you what I've learned about Vail resorts and Breckenridge in MY language, as I understand it.
Picture
Caption: Although Vail is a ski resort, Vail Resorts is also the overarching management company of many ski resorts and this management means really exciting things for people who love to ski or board.
(Me, me, me ππΌβ·π)
It's also great news for people that just love to travel in the mountains, in any season!

Caption: WHAT IS THE EPIC PASS?
Picture
Caption: The EPIC Pass is literally the most epic ski pass in the world. An annual lift ticket that covers both Northern and Southern Hemisphere skiing at 26 resorts of all shapes and sizes.
If you plan to ski for more than a few days a year this pass is offering staggering value!
There are American and Australian versions available so do your research!

There are 5 peaks to ski at Breckenridge and a huge amount of other offerings like terrain parks, a mountain coaster and great eateries!

I ate at Pioneer Crossing and the Overlook Restaurant on Peak 9. (The vegetable Soba brought me right back to Japan π)
I also ticked off the Goldrunner Coaster at the base of Peak 8, not just for skiers, and managed to ski every single peak!

I loved wandering around Main Street and surrounds for shopping and more! I strongly recommend looking into Breck Create and maybe doing a course whilst you're in town -

Caption: The DoubleTree Breckenridge boasts its own ski rental shop, ski concierge, access to peak 9 (practically ski in ski out) and the delightful 9600 Kitchen Breckenridge, their signature restaurant.
Oh and did I mention the cafe and oxygen bar? You never need to leave the hotel. Well, except to ski!
