Must-dos For Your Breckenridge Ski Vacation

If you are headed to Breckenridge for your next ski vacation

, you're not alone! This quaint Colorado town has been a destination for die-hard enthusiasts for decades and offers just the right combination of snow and other fun winter activities for families and individuals alike. Here are some absolute must-dos during your stay.

Spend a day in town. Unlike traditional resorts, Breckenridge is an actual western town that boasts a rough and tumble history quite unlike any other ski destination. Many of the original buildings remain from the silver and gold rush days over a century ago, and they lend real charm to the area in any season. Today's "downtown" Breckenridge is a colorful apres-ski hangout where locals and visitors mingle and play. There are specialty boutiques, fine dining opportunities, watering holes and more: all wrapped up in colorful old-west buildings. Breckenridge is a pedestrian-friendly town, and there's something new to discover every day.

Go dog sledding. There are several outfitters in town that will make sure that you and your family have the experience of a lifetime whipping through the mountain powder behind an enthusiastic team of sled dogs! Bundle up and enjoy the beautiful mountain scenery as well as the novelty of doing something a little out of the norm: it's exciting and fun and you can enjoy the sights without the constant drone of snowmobiling.

Soar in a hot air balloon. A balloon ride high over the Rocky Mountains is something most people can only dream about: but at Breckenridge, visitors experience the beauty and majesty of 115 mountain tops and peaks every single day from a vantage point that is quite unlike any other. Yes, you can even enjoy a hot air balloon ride in the winter time: just be sure to bundle up! The mountains are at their most beautiful in this season thanks to copious snowfall, and think of all the great photographs you'll have when you get home.

Enjoy a dinner sleigh ride: For a true western experience that the whole family can enjoy, or if you want to leave the slopes and savor a romantic evening for two, it's hard to beat one of the area's famous dinner sleigh rides. Nestle yourself into an antique lap robe and you'll feel like you've been transported into a different century altogether. Experience the sounds of jingle bells as you glide through the woods, and then enjoy a hardy dinner at the end of the trail. It's a great way to spend an evening, western-style.

Breckenridge is one of the most popular ski destinations in Colorado, but there's so much else to do off the slopes too!
