Breckenridge: rent in Idaho Springs, ski the mountain
Breckenridge covers 2,908 acres across five peaks, topping out at 12,998 feet. Between the bowls, the terrain parks and the long groomers, a group with mixed abilities can split up in the morning and meet for lunch without anyone skiing terrain they are not ready for.
The town is part of the appeal: restaurants, shops and après right at the base. That also means the rental desks are busy, especially on weekends and holidays, which is why many visitors rent before they arrive.
At 50 miles, Breckenridge is the longest drive of the I-70 resorts we serve. Renting for the length of your stay — rather than by the day — keeps the same boots on your feet and earns free days on longer rentals.
- Performance and Demo skis for the upper mountain
- Sport skis from $40 for beginners
