Breckenridge, CO

Just returned from a day at Breckenridge with family.  Beautiful day in the mountains - the temp in Breck was 35, while the temp in Denver (4700 feet LOWER than Breck) was 17.

Loads of people, very long lift lines, huge lines for food - and we avoided it all!  We went snowshoeing.  The Peaks trail, near Peak 7 and the Independence Super Chair, was brilliant today.  We practically had the trail to ourselves.  We saw three other small groups while we were out there for over 90 minutes.  The first group of snowshoers were bragging about just having seen a Moose cow and her calf.  They even showed us their photos as proof.  We just missed the two Moose by about 10 minutes.  Bummer.

A stunner of a day at Breckenridge.  And the best part? Ski lift tickets are $93 for the day.  Snowshoeing in the quiet, peaceful National Forest is FREE!
