True statement about Zendo chair 👍 Three snowboarders on the lift (new lift to us all) today. As soon as we saw the dismount unloading area, we all said various expletives.
first of all, thank you for the video. i am really glad that i can go snowboarding in the swiss or austrian alps. what i see as " superchairlift" and the small 6 person gondola lifts AND the long waiting lines it reminds me at times in the late 80s. my personal no 1 ist Ischgl in austria with several 8 person chairlifts with bubble and heatet seats and 3 big main gondolas with 16-20 person capacity make no waiting time even in high peak season like christmas time. 2 years ago in zermatt in switzerland i met a guy from usa and he said that for him it better and cheaper to fly to europe for skiing and he comes every year. so come to europe and make a video. have fun in the snow, regards from cologne , germany
hi and thanks for watching! we really want to visit ski resorts in Europe. hopefully next year we can travel internationally again. i think some of the US resorts are limited to development due to being on national forest land, but they are slowly improving.
Wow..thoroughly enjoyed watching this video..you guys ski so well....I also went to Breckenridge recently and made a video too....it's not snow season still this beautiful historic mountain town is full of attractions anytime of the year....immense options for shopping, food, drink..and beautiful Fall Colors..scenic views....Regards!
The resort will definitely have some runs open in December. I would try to get on the slopes. How long are you staying in Breck area? There are a couple resorts nearby.
And here we are trying to see when we can get back to New Zealand for snowboarding, maybe 2022. Or you could go to British Columbia instead, they are getting the snow this year 😀 Powder Highway!
Hey, great video! Im planning on going in the middle of march during spring break, do you recommend that time of year? Is the snow okay that late in the season?
yes, definitely. depends on the snow year but that's when I would recommend going. All the terrain should be open. Breck is good through April and can get some awesome late season storms.
Hi nice video left a like! I plan on going here from Texas around early January with some friends, I have 0 experience with skiing or even snow like this. I wanted to ask ,is there a day pass, and if so can we just pull up and buy one in person, or do we need to reserve beforehand online or something?
This year due to covid you have to buy a ticket in advance AND reserve the day you want to ride in advance as they are limiting the number of people per day. Check epicpass .com for the epic day pass price and to log in to reserve days.
Yes. This is a resort we have come back to visit a few times. It has a lot of variety and rides larger than it is. Also the town is right there with lots of apres options.
I live right off the Gulf of Mexico.. Is the altitude difference going to be that big of a deal? Is it just headaches? I am a little worried and in all honesty, I have never gone skiing or snowboarding. Which one is easier to start with?
Drink lots of water! People react differently to altitude but you will likely feel it, even just breathing heavy walking up stairs. Take Advil or Tylenol for headaches and drink water. Eating carbs helps and eating normal meals even if you don’t feel hungry. Keep alcohol to a minimum if you feel the altitude. Ski vs snowboard, ski is usually easier to get the hang of, snowboarding usually takes 3 days of effort to learn. Worth taking a lesson if you’ve never done it.
100% recommend the Silverthorne green run on peak 8 at Breck. Me and my gf went to the Schoolmarm green run at Keystone and it was absolutely terrifying and not fun.
Have you guys ever done snow white, nine lives, or easy street on imperial? I want to do one but the easiest. I have been on bliss or the run at 0:30 and i didnt struggle too much just on the drop off at first. I just want to get to imperial soon like the next time i come here which will be soon hopefully!! I did bliss three years ago in fifth grade lol
Imperial bowl is probably the easiest then easy street. If it’s not too windy up there and you feel comfortable riding the ridge to zoot chute, thats usually a rock free and nice ride, just avoid the lake at the bottom.
Definitely not true this year with covid protocols. My guess is it will be worse next year with epic pass being 20% off right now and pent-up travel demand.
awesome video!!!! how much time you spend at each resort? and how long does it take for you to see and explore most of it in terms of days? def gonna watch all your videos, go to Europe too!!!!!
Thanks! It’s typically 2 days of filming and exploring. If we really love a resort, we’ll stay as long as possible! Some destinations are newer to us and others we’ve been visiting for years and returned to film. Europe is high on our list, too, the Alps, Dolomites, everything. Do you have any fave European ski resorts?
It depends on the size of the resort and type of terrain. To really explore a resort it probably takes about 1 day per 1,000 acres. If you have to hike to terrain then could take longer. Maybe next year for Europe, fingers crossed.

@@snowboardtraveler so all i need to snowboard for the day is a day pass? anything else? and do you know how much it is to rent out a snowboard and gear?
a snowboard with boots and a helmet is about $50-70 per day. if you need more gear, like snowpants, jacket, goggles, and gloves there are some sports stores that offer that, around $35 per day.
@@snowboardtraveler Hello. I am in Breckinridge today. Are there any places you recommend to visit? I am looking for fun activities, and I am looking for good food. I was told skiing is only open to season passes right now. Most things are closed.
It was a little busy over the holidays as not all the terrain was open so they likely gave out too many reservations but February is usually good and hopefully more snowfall.
@@snowboardtraveler if you buy an epic day pass and reserve your days, are you still required to buy a lift ticket as well? Or will the epic day pass cover the lift ticket for my reserved days?
Just Heads up for everyone, epic pass doesn’t honor there refunds policy. They have hundreds of reviews on Yelp and a 1 star rating, and a ton of stories like mine. Just found out the hard way, broke my foot a week before my trip.. sent them multiple doctors notes, x rays, and discharge diagnosis of broken bone in the foot. After struggling for weeks to get anywhere I started to look online and found this is a very common problem.
One of the best park overviews I have ever seen. You showed off the mountain in its entirety instead of all the tricks you can do. Thanks so much!
Thank you! That’s what we were going for. Trying to replicate it for other resorts.
Finally a high quality informative video on Breckenridge THANK YOU. liked and subbed
Awesome! Glad you enjoyed it.

But you survived to tell the tale!
I live in Denver and this winter I’m definitely going to try and do one of those double black bowls!
Let us know how it goes. We want to go back to hike up and ride each of the five peaks.
Tysm for making this!! Me and my family are going here in January, so this information is really helpful!
Have a fun trip!

That was some great tour guiding. Thanks!
Thanks! We always have fun at Breck.
Super informative video! Thanks! Just spent the week there and had a great time and they finally opened the terrain park 🙌🏼
Glad you enjoyed the mountain, we always have fun there.
Vile resorts. Enough said!!!!

Very solid description of the mountain, keep these up - subscribed !
Thank you! We’re working on a few more.
So glad I stumbled on this channel. You guys are doing a great job, please come to the Okanagan :)
Thanks! Which Okanagan ski resort is your favorite? We definitely want to visit that area again!
@@snowboardtraveler So far I've only been to Apex and Mt. Baldy, but I really want to visit Silverstar, Big White and Red Mountain.
Nice 👍 Red has been on our list for a while so likely next season.
When u went there I cut and went strait to the train park
Many of the parks were still being built when we visited otherwise would have covered them more.
@@snowboardtraveler oh okay
Great info. Thanks!
This is sooo cool thanks
Breckenridge colorado,i want to go gala there talaga! Hope it soon,see you america,
It’s an awesome resort to visit! Hope you get there soon too!
What a beauty ful video. I thoroughly enjoyed your adventure.
Thanks for watching! It’s always an adventure on the mountain.
These videos have been great, I use them to help plan my ride every day out here. Thanks! When are you gonna do park city??
We’re so happy to hear that! Thanks for watching! We have park city on the list, maybe not til next season but definitely coming!
Thank you for this information. Very informative and will definitely check out Breakneckridge.
Glad it was helpful! Definitely worth checking out.

The yellow aspen are beautiful in Breck! We enjoyed wandering down the closed to traffic Main Street this year, Covid aside.
Great video, thanks!
You're welcome! Thanks for watching.
Thank you guys so much! I am about to ski here.
Have fun! Hopefully all the terrain is open.
Gorgeous! Accept Jesus :)
Thank you!!
You're welcome! Which other resorts should we visit?
@@snowboardtraveler Powder Mountain outside of Ogden, Utah or Mt Bachelor in Bend, Oregon.
Excellent suggestions! We will try to visit those next season.
Looks like an awesome resorts, will definatly check it out if I will ever come to the USA to snowboard
Can do a combined trip with nearby Vail, Beaver Creek, and Keystone resorts, all on the same lift tickets.
very good guide, best I've found
Thanks so much! We are so glad you found it helpful. Let us know your favorite runs there.
@@snowboardtraveler mercury lift and colorado super chair provided with some super fun times!
I want to snowboard so bad rn lol I want to time travel to winter
too bad we can't fly to New Zealand
@@snowboardtraveler fr tho lol. There’s always mt hood
make sure to stop at underground snowboard shop on main street!
I do need a new board.
Absolutely brutal lift lines right now though.
Having only 66% of terrain open doesn’t help.
@@snowboardtraveler Probably because Vail sucks and cannot hire enough people because they pay like shit.
Really great video! I'm from Chili and in December I would be there for a work and travel program. Any advice? Thanks!
The resort will definitely have some runs open in December. I would try to get on the slopes. How long are you staying in Breck area? There are a couple resorts nearby.
Thanks so much for the very informative video .we live in New Zealand and u have sold colarado to us ..ohhh yehhhh we r comin
And here we are trying to see when we can get back to New Zealand for snowboarding, maybe 2022. Or you could go to British Columbia instead, they are getting the snow this year 😀 Powder Highway!
Is the Gold Pan still open on the main road?

@@snowboardtraveler Thanks! Much needed advice.
I live in Colorado
Such a great state. Close to the mountains = happy.
Grapes
Oranges
Would you recommend this for a beginner?
There are several beginner areas on the mountain especially on peak 9.
100% recommend the Silverthorne green run on peak 8 at Breck. Me and my gf went to the Schoolmarm green run at Keystone and it was absolutely terrifying and not fun.
Have you guys ever done snow white, nine lives, or easy street on imperial? I want to do one but the easiest.

Of the ones we’ve visited I would say Copper or Aspen Highlands. But there are several more we have yet to explore.
Snowboarding is the work of the Devil.
Nobody said he isn’t a genius.
How much is parking?
This year it looks like it is around $27 for the day and you can reserve in advance online at breckpark.com
@@snowboardtraveler thank you sir. I'm going in February. Freaking pumped. Lift lines weren't too bad?
It was a little busy over the holidays as not all the terrain was open so they likely gave out too many reservations but February is usually good and hopefully more snowfall.
@@snowboardtraveler sweet. Thank you for the feedback
What did you pay for lift passes?
We had the unlimited Epic Pass but you can get an Epic 1 day pass for $109
@@snowboardtraveler if you buy an epic day pass and reserve your days, are you still required to buy a lift ticket as well? Or will the epic day pass cover the lift ticket for my reserved days?
@@popstromer epic pass is the same as a lift ticket
@@snowboardtraveler thank you for clearing my confusion!
you need to work on your turn as you're side slipping and counter-rotating.
Flapjack was really flat like a pancake. Avoid if you're a boarder!
Probably worse in fresh snow. We sometimes traverse through the trees half way down the chutes to spend less time on flapjack at the bottom.
