The real estate at Trails End Condominiums just cannot be beat, with lifts just outside (seriously right there!) and downtown Breckenridge just a block away. Well appointed condo suites feel like home instead of hotel – with the Rockies in your backyard. On your crew’s first powder day fuel your crew for the shredding that lies ahead with a hearty home-cooked breakfast (hooray for in-suite kitchens), and take your time – there’s no shuttles to catch or traffic to beat thanks to your ski-in/ski-out locale. Once everyone’s ready and raring to go just grab your gear and step outside, the Quicksilver Super Chair lift is just steps away. New to Breck? Be at the base of Peak 8 at 9:30 am to tag along on a free Mountain Orientation Tour offered by the ski resort (chat up the guide for tips from a local on the best runs). Covering almost 3,000 acres, rich with groomed blues and home to a top-notch ski school, Breckenridge is a primo destination for family ski trips – not to mention over 25 feet of snowfall yearly. After a day well-skied meander down the Lower Lehman green run and coast right up to your condo. See how fast everyone can swap snow jackets for swimsuits then head downstairs for an après soak. Choose between both indoor and outdoor hot tubs then sit back and let the massage jets work their magic. Follow up with a stop by the sauna for ultimate relaxation.

Individually decorated one- and two-bedroom suites at Trails End each have a bit of personal style, with a consistent homey, alpine vibe. Private decks open up to let in some fresh air, many offering Instagram-worthy views of the mountains. Sip morning coffee brewed in your fully equipped kitchen as you scope out the slopes. Mealtime you’ll have everything you need to cook up a hearty homemade meal – delight the crew with your signature dish or try out a new recipe. A living area with flat screen TV, ample seating (including a queen sleeper sofa) and a cozy gas burning fireplace makes the perfect setting for a big night in – hot cocoa encouraged.

In addition to being right by the slopes, Trails End is only a block away from downtown Breck. Main Street is a history buff’s dream! Among the numerous historical sites and buildings is the Gold Pan Saloon, which opened in 1879 to serve the local prospectors and remains the oldest continuously operated bar west of the Mississippi. Go back in time as you enjoy a pint at the mahogany bar or sit down to a pub grub feast. For a grownups-only date night check out the upscale cuisine and classy décor at Hearthstone Restaurant, located in a converted Victorian home. Or swing by Blue River Bistro to enjoy artisanal cocktails and live jazz music.
