Easter Sunday, at 13,000 feet.
I spent my Easter Sunday at Breckenridge. It was sunny and 65 degrees. It would have been a perfect day in Aspen or at Copper, however I decided to go to Breckenridge.
With the exception of the Imperial bowl, Breckenridge is flat. It is actually kind of annoying. The runs there don't give you a ton of vertical and the terrain is pretty much a snooz-fest. Sure, they have an insane terrain park, but when you don't want to ride park all day you're headed to the bowls.
The one thing they have going for them is the new Imperial Express, it is a high speed quad that is the highest chairlift in North America. It takes you to something insane like 12,800+ feet and then you can hike up to the 13,000 foot true summit. That is where this pic comes from.
If you're wondering where I skied down, take a look left. Right off that cornice into the bowl. Nice.
