Brec is the place to go in the US. Fantastic high terrain skiing. Plenty of vert. Lift lines are not too bad. Can be a bit crowded during peak holidays, but even then, it's not so bad. If you are an advanced skier/rider, you can always find less crowded lift lines as long as you stay away from the lower runs.
The Brec town is walking distance to from the ski area so you are never far from either area. Night life is great as is the food.
You also have close access to Keystone, Copper and Arapahoe ski areas and about 45 minute drive to Vail. Brec, Keystone and Vail are on the Epic pass so you can ski all 3.

This was my first skiing experience. I took lessons here that have helped me everywhere I go! Everyone is so nice and helpful. Anytime I fell, I had people checking in on me. I recommend coming here if you are a newbie and want a safe place to get better!

Love Breck. Well maintained slopes and infrastructure and great town for post ski socials (plenty of happy hours!) Great food scene as well with loads of options. Great for late season skiing as well, although size of skiable area is reduced after mid april, and the gondala up from Town to Peak 7/8 shutsdown, as the thaw starts to set in.

Brec is my go-to mountain in Summit County. With the highest lift in North America, they have some of the best steep and deep runs around. As a Level 1 Certified ski instructor there I can attest they have a fantastic ski school that caters to all ski and snow board abilities. Downtown Brec is great for apre ski and also has fantastic night life.

Great mountain that is high in the Rockies. Always consistent snow quality. Terrain for every level of skier. A fantastic real town with great restaurants and bars! Take a shuttle from DIA because you dont need a car together around town. Free buses an get you wherever you need to go!

Breck is one of my favorite mountains that Ive ever been to. With the open trail runs, and vast options for how you want to hit the mountain, its one I can come back to time and time again.

Classy ski town with a fantastic Main Street full of great bars, restaurants & shops. Easy access to the slopes from the town and we experienced no lift queues in mid December. Quiet tree-lined wide runs and fun skiing off-piste through the trees. Only one slight negative is that none of the chair lifts are covered so its a cold ride in December. Really loved Breck we will return

I went with family and had an amazing time. Lift lines were not very long and the weather was great - perfect powder while we were there. There were so many different runs we rarely had to do the same one twice.

Huge vertical with terrain for all skill levels. Super fast lift system with multiple peaks. For those seeking as much vertical in a day, this place will get you 30,000 feet easily.
