Breckenridge Beginner Skiing
Breckenridge's Easy Ski Terrain
Most of the beginner ski terrain at Breckenridge is located at the bottom of Peak 9 and Peak 8. You can access this terrain easily without having to go down any difficult ski trails.
Peak 9 Beginner Skiing
There are large portions of the mountain dedicated to beginners near the bottom of Peak 9. Skiers and riders can use the Carpet Lifts which are easy to get on and off of. These are especially useful for small children who are just learning how to ski.
The 2 photos directly below show some of the designated beginner skiing areas on Peak 9. These are accessible without riding any chairlifts. If beginners want to ride the Quicksilver Super6 Chairlift, they will gain access to several more beginner ski trails that are much longer.
In the picture below, you can see one of the zones that is designed to help kids have fun. Breckenridge also has an area called Ripperoo's Forest. This is a small ski trail that winds through the woods on Peak 9. Children can travel through a wooded adventure zone filled with fun themes and obstacles.
Peak 8 Beginner Ski Terrain
This area of Breckenridge has 4 beginner ski carpets that can be used to get to the top of the beginner ski slope. There is also a small terrain park for new skiers and riders to experiment in. The Peak 8 base area has plenty of amenities for beginners including a ski school and child care center.
Below you can see the view looking up at the beginner terrain park on Peak 8. The jumps here are smaller than any of the other terrain parks and this is the perfect place to become comfortable on these types of features. Check out the full Breckenridge Terrain Park Guide which includes a photo gallery.
