Along the path you covered at about 10:30 I took a picture with my girlfriend back in December 1999. Married her December 2000 and honeymoon in Breck. Married 18 years and counting
Appreciate all the walkthroughs. Would be nice to throw up a trail map at the beginning with route highlighted. Possibly an on-screen overlay with GPS track/elevation (see some of the mountain biking videos for examples) would help give a better sense of steepness.
This looks like skiing in Park City and Teluride. Nice long runs that are hard greens and easy blues that go on for miles. This is middle-aged skiing for sure!
Hi Ted, I was one of the first 60 views on this video and just decided to check it out again, and wow, almost 100k views! I am proud of your hard work!
I love making this run at least once every trip I make. Due to back issues, skiing bumps can result in my trip being ended early. Flash took my son and I to the top of Imperial chair and showed us the ridge during a lesson several years ago. I still enjoy trying to make it top to bottom without stopping.
John Hansler in my experience, Breckinridge is easier than most other ski resorts in Colorado, at least the ones I ski at. I tend to ski blacks and double blacks, and Breckenridge tends to be super easy. I haven’t skied at Park City or Alta yet, but Breck’s a relatively easy ski resort. I would barely classify their blacks as blacks. Not sure if that helps
The blue runs I skied at Park City were actually pretty steep, but this was during a pretty sorry season early in 2018 with no powder. And that famous green run called Home Run was an absolute delight if you want to take a more casual approach. As for Alta, I heard most of their runs are actually quite steep, including the blues! I went to Brighton and Solitude as well and those were very standard ski slopes.
I noticed the beginning was all blacks but it didnt look too steep. I know the camera can have the effect. Was it actually steep or was it a black diamond bc of the terrain?
The GoPro make everything look less steep than it feels. To get a sense of steepness, watch the horizon line and compare it to that of videos of runs you are familiar with.
camera doesnt have an effect. i film all my videos on a gopro too and the blues look steeper than the beginning black on this. its just that breck i mostly flat except for the upper bowls. breck caters and advertises to tourists and jerries so their blacks are green or mellow blues at other resorts
I think you can actually start off higher and end up lower on the mountain if you know which path to take. the very lowest skiable point at breck is the gondola ski back trail which takes you to BreckConnect. You can also hike about ~150ft up from the top of imperial to the very top of peak 8. It's actually possible to ski Breck's entire vertical if you can get through the cliff drop into the imperial bowl and the flat runouts around the 4-O'Clock lift area. I think it might add it to my bucket list though!
You are correct on both counts! But most people do not like to hike. And the hike would not add much to the mileage. And the difference between the elevation of The Village where I ended this run and the closest you can ski to by the gondola is only about 50 vertical feet.
@ Kimberly Templeman - Thank you for your comments! So far I only have the one Windows video, but I plan to spend a fair amount of time in there this season if conditions hold up.
Ted, thank you for all the runs have you have uploaded! we are going to be staying at Beaver Run Resort next week I was wondering what will be the most efficient route to the Imperial chair?
Take the Beaver Run SuperChair, then come down Columbia or Sundown to the Peak 8 SuperConnect, take the Peak 8 SuperConnect over to Peak 8, then take Frosty's Freeway to Lift 6 and ride Lift 6. That will drop you off right at Imperial.
Have been stoking up on your videos for another week at Breck in March 2024. Nice job! I have mapped a route from "Six to Ten and Back Again" that will take me from the right side of the trail map (Crystal Peaks Lodge) to the left side and back ... 100% blue runs. Have you done anything like that?
Interesting idea! I might try a video like that. Many years ago, ski school offered a "peak-to-peak challenge" (or something like that) and I taught/guided several of those. I'll have to give your suggestion some thought. Thanks!
I've done this several times, even as an intermediate skier. Breckenridge is a great place to plan something like a daytrip zigzagging from peak to peak. You probably won't manage to follow your plan exactly, but it works out all the same, and it's a lot of fun to have an extra goal to focus on.
Hey, I am going to Breckenridge and Copper Mountain in January for 4 days, I am not very good at snowboarding and I was wondering if people will get mad me for not being very fast?
Its been 4 years and youre still replying? Wow i went up here btw i went on a run afterwards it was adios and psychopath and then went on a double black called somethings comet do you know the full name?
I've never heard of a trail called _"Comet"._ Is this trail near _Adios_ and _Psychopath,_ or is it not near them? All I can think of is _Contest Bowl,_ or maybe _Southern Cross._ By the way, I used to ski hear every December, way back in the early to late 1990's, and at the beginning of my skiing, _QuickSilver SuperChair, Falcon SuperChair, Mercury SuperChair,_ and _Colorado SuperChair_ were the only four high-speed detachable chairlifts at the time when I started skiing here! Also, _Peak 7_ and _Peak 6_ didn't even exist yet! _Peak 7_ was nearly completed in the late 1990's, but mostly in its infancy, until years later when I couldn't go there anymore. _Claimjumper_ was the furthest trail away on _Peak 8_ at that time! So ever since, it has really expanded! Wow! I have so much nostalgia and just awesome memories of _Breckenridge Resort!_ There are so many new chairlifts and trails, including bowls and chutes-many of which you had to hike to, unlike now! Sorry for the long reply, but I can't help it-in wanting to go back, but I probably wouldn't be able to now . . . And, it's so much more expensive now! I hope you have a lot of fun, and be safe! 👍
Imperial Ridge is a single black, usually groomed (check the daily report), and very often skied off and/or wind blow in places. It is definitely not the easiest single black diamond.
Yes, usually, I think. I think there may have been times when it is roped off. But I have have seen a lane open at other times to cross above the Ski Patrol hut to the left.
Can an individual such as myself, a 62 year old, learn to ski properly? I was self-taught as a kid, and not very well I might add. We only had the hill behind our in cabin in Big Trees California, and our roads starting at the top of Marietta’s road, which was the highest elevation in Snow Shoe Spring’s subdivision. I never had an instructor! I would love to be taught properly. Or do you think it’s now too dangerous for a person my age?
Hello Ted. I just started watching your videos the other night. I am from the southeast, about to graduate university. I am going to celebrate early with a ski trip, my first ever, to breck. My family used to go before I was born, so I want to go really bad. I just started skiing last year, and I look forward to using your videos as a reference when I come to Colorado. PS, you could give me a lesson haha
Bill Endy I was in Utah January 2018 and only skied at Brighton, Solitude, and Park City. The snow was crappy that winter and not only that, but I heard Alta and Snowbird are more suited for advanced skiiers that like powder and steep runs. Is this true? I’ve skied Alaska’s Alyeska for over eight years and still enjoy there though
Last year was a drought year and the snow did not become excellent until early Feb. This year we have been pounded with ALTA receiving over 400" as of today, with more on the way. The mountain provides a variety of terrain. Powder hounds love it, it has one of the best beginner trail systems in the country and there are miles of terrain for groomers (I am much more of a groomer than a powder hound). We have four exceptional resorts in Big and Little Cottonwood Canyons, three in Park City and three up in the area around Ogden UT. The great thing about skiing Utah is that you arrive at the airport in SLC and you are on the slopes in 45 minutes. So, if you get a chance give Alta a look, but I also should say that the mountains you skied here are all excellent in a normal snow year.
Soon, I hope. I need days that are not too cold for the GoPro batteries and when I'm not doing other work, This coming week looks like there could be a day or so lake that. Thanks!!
@@BreckSnowPro nice, i use 3 regular go pro batteries for my videos. one day it was 10 degrees and they worked all day. I also use a covering on my go pro and that seems to help out
Yes, the wide angle lenses makes less steep that it feels. But if you watch a video of a run you are familiar with and take note of the horizon, you can use that to compare the relative steepness of other runs that you don't know as well in comparison to it.
@@BreckSnowPro it’s all relevant. Most of Alyeska’s blue runs would be single black diamonds elsewhere. They have only a few runs with wide open spaces that go on a long time. And a well-packed terrain with no fresh powder blue run feels steep!
0:39 Imperial is a Leitner poma omega lift system using Omega terminals, 2nd generation omega chairs, And Omega t grips. 0:47 Quicksilver is a poma omega system with 1st generation omega terminals, 2nd generation omega chairs, and Omega t grips. It replaced the quicksilver quad which is relocated to owls head. 6:22 Colorado is a Leitner poma lpa system with lpa terminals, chairs, and grips. 8:31 5 is a riblet double with riblet grips, chairs, and terminals. 12:22 C is another riblet double similar to 5 with same parts. 13:06 Peak 8 superconnect is yet another poma omega system with 1st generation omega terminals, 2nd generation omega chairs, and omega t grips. 13:37 Beaver run is a poma competition system with competition terminals, 3rd generation omega chairs, and tb-41 grips. The other note is that it used to have competition chairs. Here is a picture of the lift with the old chairs. www.skilifts.org/old/images/resort_images/co-breckenridge/beaverrun/lowerstation3.jpg
I visited Breck as a solid intermediate snowboarder 2 years ago. I took a half day lesson as a intermediate and my last trail with the instructor was a groomed black. You will progress quickly with an instructor just make sure you are hydrated. GLHF
Hard to tell from the camera angle and perspective, but those black runs seemed pretty tame, if you were on some black runs. Must have been mid week. You practically had the mountain to yourself. Thanks for the video.
@T Hyslop - I forget, but think I shot this on one of the last days of the season. But I almost never free-ski on days that I'm expecting there to be much in the way of lift-lines. And the wide angle of the GoPro makes everything look less steep than it feels. The best way to estimate the steepness of one trail relative to another in these videos is to pay extra attention the the horizon.
Yes, I visit RUclips most days... even during the off season. And I'll put both Needles Eye and Mine-shaft on the short list for next season. Others have requested Needles Eye as well. It needs pretty good snow conditions to ski well, for me at least. It snowed some today and I think there is a chance of it most days this coming week!
thank you so much man. I appreciate it a lot because I am thinking of skiing some of these runs when I visit Breck in the Spring! It'll be my first time.
I would love to shoot these next! But that would take would take some pretty good early season storms. I do intend to spend more time filming the more challenging terrain this coming season and will put these on my list of requests to get to sooner rather than later though.
Ha! I suppose technically, there are several bottoms. The entrance to the tunnel you mention is about 50ft higher in elevation than the bottom of the Quicksilver chair where I finished this video. GoogleEarth it.
Yes, I'm actually working now on video intended to show the snow conditions on different parts of the mountain. I shot it yesterday and will likely upload it tomorrow. I need to figure out how to speed up my editing process...!
@@finnhayes1619 also i dont know what ur agenda is but if you ever go there i suggest trying keystone because their greens are pretty much like the blues at breck. Thats what i did and i could do any blue at breck.
Nice vid.. I'm a noob skier. And I've noticed there are too many skiing videos are someone filming someone else. Hard to find vids of someone just skiing POV style.
Way to check up, stop and help the yard saler @ 7:55,, LMAO!~ and dear god pick up the pace,, Although that is one long flattened out mountain, its hard to get a head of steam up on that run!~
Funny cause when I came back to her spot there was a lady screaming at me saying how could I have left my wife . The patrol shack was in. Sight like 100 yards. Damn
Its possible to ski from the top fo peak 8 all the way back ti the bottom of gondola ski back which is the resorts lowest skiable run. I’d love to do it someday
Yes. You would take Four O'Clock run into town. But if you look on Google Earth and compare the elevation of Maggie Pond at the bottom of the Quicksilver Chairlift to Mountain Thunder Lodge, which is as far as you can ski going back to the Gondola, you will see that the bottom of the Quicksilver is lower in elevation.
@@BreckSnowPro I live in the south, so ski days are annual. I can handle Blues fine, Blacks ok. What advantages are Performance skis over Rentals? (let's say on groomed or packed powder). Thanks!
The blacks shown here would be blues if there wasn't a risk of going off the edge. They are marked black to keep 2nd day overconfident tourists from crowding the top😂
Oh hell yeahhhh dawgggg! Heheee! I wanna join ya, never been out there yet to ski or board. Bout to go drive out there realllll soon from WI (Jan or early Feb maybe) been a dream of mine
There is no "peak 9 lift". This video starts at the top of the Imperial chairlift on peak 8 and ends at the bottom of the Quicksilver chairlift at the base of peak 9. Several other chairlifts also service peak 9.
Pretty well shot. Unfortunately the guy at @15:15 gave up the sport that afternoon after nobody bothered to ask him whether he thought he could make it to the bottom on his own with two compound fractures.
Sorry, I went into this one intending for it to be for groomed run skiers and riders that want long runs. I hope to get some hikes in before the end of this season. What is being forecast as the "biggest storm of the season" is just starting now. And if it lives up to expectations, hike videos might start next week.
Your oxygen intake is significantly more at 10,000 ft (snowbird the tallest mountain in utah that is skiable) than it is at 12,500. Your body cannot stay at 12,500 for too long without needing oxygen as hypoxia sets in. It's good to stop and take breaks to recuperate some oxygen for your muscles to use at that elevation. When I was skiing in Utah I saw way more people stopped in the middle of the run then I've seen in CO. But hey, to each their own. Stopping on the sides is generally a good idea to reevaluate terrain and your body's capacity to continue.
First of all. I havnt been. When you want a great day and night experience don't get druck before your first day on The Beech.... Maybe during. Kluwha. 50 50. OK. Thank you crab man...See you at your bar one day if you allow ⛄. In the morning we break the top layer. And then another. And then we race down the mountain. The yards. The valleys. Spiced rum. Ok.. The best times of my life. Anywhere. On that mountain. Good snow better. That's for sure. White. Come over and get her done. Meet a friend girl. Why? Leave your gear we me for safe keeping. I use it. I promise. First promise. Now come take me snowboarding. I'm not in the hospital. Hint. Moving on up.👍

@@matthew-oe2ur No I'm not. Breckenridge has about 30 lifts.. 3 vallees has close to 200 lifts.. Also a world class resort.. half the price of Colorado.

I wish I knew about this run, I just spent a week skiing there.
This looks like skiing in Park City and Teluride. Nice long runs that are hard greens and easy blues that go on for miles. This is middle-aged skiing for sure!
Last time I skied that run - it was 1990. And your video brought it all back...thanks!
That was so great!! What a beautiful area, nice long run, I would love to ski there!! Thanks so much!
saved that run for the last run of the day
many times fr 1995 till 2016 hope to
do it 1 more time in 2022
This is one of my dreams to do one day. Outstanding video.
Beautiful. I love my New England ski resorts but out west it's just at another level. tyvm for video!
Wow so beautiful.. Your so lucky man. We don't have to many runs like that in ga. maybe one day I'll get to see it in person!
Thanks, and I hope so! I intend to be here for awhile...
You can also go from the imperial chair to the breck connect gondola I believe it's just over 4 miles long

Love your content! I need to ski more. Spent a lot of time at Taos and Steamboat growing up, learned at crystal. Breckenridge looks amazing
I think this will be a great year! Starting of strong already!
Kelly McClure i have never seen so much snow
How difficult are those black diamonds? I typically ski blues at Park City and Alta. How do those compare?
The blacks at breck are definetly harder than most blues, and are steep.
I've skied Park City and Breck. I would personally say Park City Blacks are harder than the Breck Blacks. You will be fine.

Imperial Ridge is a single black, usually groomed (check the daily report), and very often skied off and/or wind blow in places. It is definitely not the easiest single black diamond.
Ya if anyone lives in co I would recommend doing imperial bull and or contest bull

Hello Ted. I just started watching your videos the other night. I am from the southeast, about to graduate university. I am going to celebrate early with a ski trip, my first ever, to breck. My family used to go before I was born, so I want to go really bad. I just started skiing last year, and I look forward to using your videos as a reference when I come to Colorado. PS, you could give me a lesson haha
Very nice video shot on spring snow. Still, I think I will stick with ALTA and Utah snow.
Bill Endy I was in Utah January 2018 and only skied at Brighton, Solitude, and Park City. The snow was crappy that winter and not only that, but I heard Alta and Snowbird are more suited for advanced skiiers that like powder and steep runs. Is this true? I’ve skied Alaska’s Alyeska for over eight years and still enjoy there though
Last year was a drought year and the snow did not become excellent until early Feb. This year we have been pounded with ALTA receiving over 400" as of today, with more on the way. The mountain provides a variety of terrain. Powder hounds love it, it has one of the best beginner trail systems in the country and there are miles of terrain for groomers (I am much more of a groomer than a powder hound). We have four exceptional resorts in Big and Little Cottonwood Canyons, three in Park City and three up in the area around Ogden UT. The great thing about skiing Utah is that you arrive at the airport in SLC and you are on the slopes in 45 minutes. So, if you get a chance give Alta a look, but I also should say that the mountains you skied here are all excellent in a normal snow year.

Yes, the wide angle lenses makes less steep that it feels. But if you watch a video of a run you are familiar with and take note of the horizon, you can use that to compare the relative steepness of other runs that you don't know as well in comparison to it.

Yes, I visit RUclips most days... even during the off season. And I'll put both Needles Eye and Mine-shaft on the short list for next season. Others have requested Needles Eye as well. It needs pretty good snow conditions to ski well, for me at least. It snowed some today and I think there is a chance of it most days this coming week!
thank you so much man. I appreciate it a lot because I am thinking of skiing some of these runs when I visit Breck in the Spring! It'll be my first time.
What time of the year was this done?
Very late season. I plan to shoot it again with better conditions.
Thank you for an excellent video! My son and I are looking forward to starting our season at Breck tomorrow.
Thanks loved it so much fun 😊
Can you do twin chutes and the back 9 next?
I would love to shoot these next! But that would take would take some pretty good early season storms. I do intend to spend more time filming the more challenging terrain this coming season and will put these on my list of requests to get to sooner rather than later though.
Ok, thanks!
What camera? 📷 I like the nice stable video.
@J S - GoPro Hero4 Black on my chest and Hero4 Silver on my ski pole. An Evo SS gimbal stabilizes the footage of the 4 Black.
What about 4oclock from top to bottom starting from upper and going down to snowflake?
That's not the bottom--you can actually ski all the way to the parking lot in town, there's a tunnel somewhere right there iirc.
Ha! I suppose technically, there are several bottoms. The entrance to the tunnel you mention is about 50ft higher in elevation than the bottom of the Quicksilver chair where I finished this video. GoogleEarth it.
U doing the channel this season
Yes, I'm actually working now on video intended to show the snow conditions on different parts of the mountain. I shot it yesterday and will likely upload it tomorrow. I need to figure out how to speed up my editing process...!
I am going to Breckinridge in March. What runs are the best at Breckenridge?
Peak 9 or quicksilver is a good one if you are just starting skiing or snowboarding
@@pioneer42lego thanks I have skied at killington,VT. I live in columbus Ohio so not the best skiing around. Some little hills but those are so easy.
Oh yeah if you want a challenge a blue run would be a bit harder
@@pioneer42lego yeah i just got back yesterday. quicksilver is for sure the best one for beginners.
@@finnhayes1619 also i dont know what ur agenda is but if you ever go there i suggest trying keystone because their greens are pretty much like the blues at breck. Thats what i did and i could do any blue at breck.
Whats better: Epic mountains or Ikon mountains?
Nice vid.. I'm a noob skier. And I've noticed there are too many skiing videos are someone filming someone else. Hard to find vids of someone just skiing POV style.
Thanks! POV is mostly what I do. If you have not seen them yet, check the play-lists. There is alot posted there now.
The lift lines are 4 miles too.
Nicely done!
I get that there are not a lot of people there, but can you take up any more of the trail? Seems a little ridiculous
You must have never riden in the midwest
Did you miss the fact that this is a video tour of the mountain? Not just a leisure video of his personal skiing.
Awesome video!
Way to check up, stop and help the yard saler @ 7:55,, LMAO!~ and dear god pick up the pace,, Although that is one long flattened out mountain, its hard to get a head of steam up on that run!~
I’m over at Copper. We need more snow...
Just was there, it's sadly a little icy
Had to go get ski patrol for my wife on this mountain she had alt sickness
edibleg gotta stay hydrated
Typical gaper stuff
Funny cause when I came back to her spot there was a lady screaming at me saying how could I have left my wife . The patrol shack was in. Sight like 100 yards. Damn
Its possible to ski from the top fo peak 8 all the way back ti the bottom of gondola ski back which is the resorts lowest skiable run. I’d love to do it someday
Yes. You would take Four O'Clock run into town. But if you look on Google Earth and compare the elevation of Maggie Pond at the bottom of the Quicksilver Chairlift to Mountain Thunder Lodge, which is as far as you can ski going back to the Gondola, you will see that the bottom of the Quicksilver is lower in elevation.
@@BreckSnowPro Ill have to check online elevation maps. Hopefully i can find the lowest point. If not at least its very close
Very cool
My kind of run!
Hi Ted!!!! Nice meeting you with Susie. Can’t wait to ski with you guys next season!
@Kathy Baringer - Thanks! And I'm glad you found the channel. See you next ski season...
Ted, You Making new videos this season?
Yes I will Ty. Thanks for checking in!
Love the videos!
What type/Brand skis you on?
I have 4 pairs of usable skis right now, all different, 3 of them are Rossignol.
@@BreckSnowPro I live in the south, so ski days are annual. I can handle Blues fine, Blacks ok. What advantages are Performance skis over Rentals? (let's say on groomed or packed powder). Thanks!
@@NightSky777 I would hope that the performance skis would at least have a better tune on them.
I live in south florida... what happens if you trip and fall ? Slide to a stop, or break an arm ? 😁
Gary
Come give it a try! It’s fun
Black diamonds always look like blue runs at worst on video
I’m an intermediate skier and I could NEVER do what he does but some of these look so easy
The blacks shown here would be blues if there wasn't a risk of going off the edge. They are marked black to keep 2nd day overconfident tourists from crowding the top😂
Nice run.
Geez how long is this going to take, can we see some downhill skis.
Awesome video! It would be cool to see your skis during the run but idk, just me
is it normally that quiet ? french alps is busier
Lost-with-Lenny no that brek its always busy and I do t like brek because of it
I think he was skiing late season. Fewer people later
I’m going there this month to smoke weed and ski
Oh hell yeahhhh dawgggg! Heheee! I wanna join ya, never been out there yet to ski or board. Bout to go drive out there realllll soon from WI (Jan or early Feb maybe) been a dream of mine
Awesome..thanks
I thought Park City’s Home Run was the record.
Is this near the peak nine lift
There is no "peak 9 lift". This video starts at the top of the Imperial chairlift on peak 8 and ends at the bottom of the Quicksilver chairlift at the base of peak 9. Several other chairlifts also service peak 9.
BreckSnowPro awesome thx I’m going there to snowboard for spring break and I’m hyped
Yo why is there literally nobody on the mountain
I shot this one in April. Skiing last year was good through May!
@@BreckSnowPro that's sick man
Thats the best time. No lines, no crowded runs, and dont have to slow down or dodge people. Just you and the mountain😌👌
Think you need a gimbal but nice to see a place ive not been thanks.
I want to go In two week Is there snow I Breckinridge rn? I want to try to skii Also do you need to to be fit to do this?
it’s summer? there no snow until winter and of course you need to be fit to do this it’s tough
Pretty well shot.
Unfortunately the guy at @15:15 gave up the sport that afternoon after nobody bothered to ask him whether he thought he could make it to the bottom on his own with two compound fractures.
The end if the video?
@7:55
@@doyouevennaturebro4593 ,
Good man
* Tips the hat *
Where are all the other skiers?
Chris K Probably all at work and this was on a weekday!
u didn't even hike to the top, dissapointed
Sorry, I went into this one intending for it to be for groomed run skiers and riders that want long runs. I hope to get some hikes in before the end of this season. What is being forecast as the "biggest storm of the season" is just starting now. And if it lives up to expectations, hike videos might start next week.
Lol I think this is a joke
Oh sorry lol
The hike is tough, there's no air!
Top to bottom no stopping..... must be a Utah thing. It’s ok Colorado, take your little breaks to catch your breath
Your oxygen intake is significantly more at 10,000 ft (snowbird the tallest mountain in utah that is skiable) than it is at 12,500. Your body cannot stay at 12,500 for too long without needing oxygen as hypoxia sets in. It's good to stop and take breaks to recuperate some oxygen for your muscles to use at that elevation. When I was skiing in Utah I saw way more people stopped in the middle of the run then I've seen in CO. But hey, to each their own. Stopping on the sides is generally a good idea to reevaluate terrain and your body's capacity to continue.
who said it was a race? He was stopping to show us signs and explain things...Sit back down, Utah.
Bruh he’s stopping to show signs and explain stuff what was the point of this comment.
Says "top to bottom"... Doesn't ski from the top. Disappointed
Ha! The way this year is starting out, there will be plenty of hiking vids to come.
no crowds...
When you small Mountain that has 62 runs has steeper blacks
Pretty easy for you to say, considering you’ve never been.
Cause you b-line 55°?. Super Gnar
Chad bro. You Super Coooole Doode
Tommy nah mate I have
Tommy in fact the resort I talked about is about an hour away
Creamyred bagels if you actually went, then you wouldn’t have posted that comment.
Took you half an hour to get down... in half an hour I can do 11-12 chair laps at my local resort in Wisco...
In a half an hour I could lap the entire state of Wisconsin
It's called a mountain tour genius. Not a race competition.
First of all. I havnt been. When you want a great day and night experience don't get druck before your first day on The Beech.... Maybe during. Kluwha. 50 50. OK. Thank you crab man...See you at your bar one day if you allow ⛄. In the morning we break the top layer. And then another. And then we race down the mountain. The yards. The valleys. Spiced rum. Ok.. The best times of my life. Anywhere. On that mountain. Good snow better. That's for sure. White. Come over and get her done. Meet a friend girl. Why? Leave your gear we me for safe keeping. I use it. I promise. First promise. Now come take me snowboarding. I'm not in the hospital. Hint. Moving on up.👍

@@tomsmith6774 you good?
Sounds slushy!!!
I think I shot this around mid-April.
Your blacks should be blues.....yikes!
On video, slopes look much less steep than they actually are.
Trust me, you're not wrong. Breck is SUPER flat
These ski resorts in North America are just a backyard compared to those on the French Alps..!
I mean, Breckenridge is pretty big.
@@Tommy-gk6bh NO, It's not. it is very tiny compared to the 3 vallees, Paradiski or Space killy in the French Alps..
Oh please. Its still a giant mountain range. He's that guy. Trying to one up everyone
@@matthew-oe2ur No I'm not. Breckenridge has about 30 lifts.. 3 vallees has close to 200 lifts.. Also a world class resort.. half the price of Colorado.
Migue byte we get it, you feel good about yourself. You’re an insecure one aren’t you.
oh gosh hes doing the goggles on the helmet with sunglasses. yikes
he's a real one, wdym yikes.
Less talk more ski
Best comment ever!
That's a gross thumb you got there
great video ..... i was just at breckenridge yesterday and peak 8 was super packed..... may i use some of your footage to make a music video ???
Yes, thanks for asking!
I was the 1000th like!
