Gotta love it! Breckenridge is open,not a little, but a lot! Even part of he bowl is open if you want to hike the t-bar. I
was up there today (as you can see in the pics) and it was glorious. It is the perfect opening day, 30 degrees, sunny, 34 inches at mid mountain, snow guns blowing, and every bit of the Breckenridge mountain charm in full effect.
Yes, those are people on the lift, ascending vertically to ski Breckenridge Resort for opening day 2010-2011. I would have loved to have joined in, but I had to get back to the office and send this picture out!
Breckenridge Opening Day Teaser- 4 seconds of heaven
April 23rd, lifts are closed, town is quiet, 2 for 1′s are creeping in, mud season is forthcoming, but the snow won’t stop! Another winter storm is blowing through, just as I sit here writing. I was begenning to fancy the idea of khaki shorts, a hawaiin shirt, and packing away my thermal undies. However, as ullr so often does, the freedom of naked calves and forearms was jerked away- only to be replaced with the beautiful snow we desire so much… until april 18th.
Good news in this for anyone who loves to ski though, A-Basin is open, and the snow is going to fall through the weekend! Grind out one more ski day can I?
hard to get closer to heaven than the breckenridge imperial express superchairlift, 12998 feet! Went up the other days after we had a few fresh inches, it was beautiful! Every run off the Breckenridge imperial Experss was covered with beautiful powder! Never been on the Breckenridge Imperial express, you need to! The chailift drops you at 12.,998 feet, highest chairlift in North America.

We had 4 beautiful weeks starting mid February. NO snow, sunny days, 40-50 degrees every day, it was almost like summer. However it was peak ski season, and many of us here were bummed. The thought of packing up skis and unpacking shorts had crossed my mind. But alas, Ullr always comes through in the clutch. We have had 34 Inches of snow in the last week, 3 feet, 5 inches a day, and it has stayed. The snow has fallen, temperatures have dropped, and the skiing is great. Many of you may have given up on this season, like I had, but trust me, the snow is beautiful and we are scheduled to get more during this week. Don’t delay, reserve your Breckenridge lodging today.

When looking at these reports pay attention to the mid mountain statistic, it is not what they had, it is what they have. A higher mid mountain base means less chance of a core shot on your skis or board. Also, the more snow accumulation that a resort has, and the more that has melted, the more icy the on mountain conditions.
In Breckenridge we are looking at a fairly large storm that will blow through over the next several days, hopefully dumping 12 or more inches of new snow.
