Breckenridge Snowboarding

Summit County enjoys incredible natural snowboarding terrain with groomed runs, glades, steep faces and deep powder. It also boasts multiple terrain parks and challenging pipes for casual or competitive snowboarding at various levels. Parks have a killer array of rails, boxes, benches, concrete ledges, walls, rocks and logs. Perfect to sharpen your jib skills. There are lots of big air, half pipe and rail jam competitions and events at each resort throughout the season. Summit County boasts some of the best terrain in the world and is as breathtaking as it is diverse. For information on ski lessons and ski school, please refer to the Adults and Kids Ski & Snowsports School section. For information on lift tickets and access to the mountain, please refer to the Lifts, Tickets and Info section. Equipment rentals are available at a multitude of locations. Many take advanced reservations (both on the phone or online), so check it out and reserve in advance to cut down on your time in the shop upon arrival. Many allow you to try out different equipment during your stay; some will even let you try skiing for a few days and then switch out and try your hand at snowboarding as well. As a rule of thumb, you should start the day with the television on the local resort network to get as accurate and specific a weather forecast as possible. Of course, in the mountains, things can change quickly and dramatically, so always be prepared. Bringing a small backpack on the hill with you is an excellent way to ensure you are prepared for climate changes: even if it is sunny and dry when you start the day, throw goggles, a neck gator and hand warmers in the pack to ensure you are prepared. On your way to the chairlift, grab a trail map and a grooming report. These will give you details on the terrain, and help you plan your day.
