This winter, Breckenridge is set to deliver more than just snow-covered slopes.

Known for its vibrant alpine heritage and lively social scene, the Colorado resort is adding fresh energy to its calendar with the launch of the Rockstar Energy Open (19–21 December). The event combines professional snowboarding with live music, creating a festival atmosphere perfect for groups of friends seeking both adventure and entertainment.

A Resort with Heart

Beyond the adrenaline, Breckenridge continues to champion inclusivity through the Breckenridge Outdoor Education Centre (BOEC). Celebrating 50 years, the programme has been a pioneer in adaptive skiing, ensuring the mountain remains accessible to all. This milestone underscores the resort’s commitment to community and innovation in outdoor education.

Culinary Elevation

Breckenridge is also carving out a new reputation in fine dining. This season introduces Forage Breckenridge, a culinary experience led by acclaimed UK chef Ryan Cook, formerly of Michelin-starred Winteringham Fields. Guests can indulge in a 12-course tasting journey that blends alpine ingredients with Cook’s refined artistry – a gastronomic highlight for travellers seeking memorable evenings off the slopes.
