Towards the end of the run, I hit a pretty good size hill faster than I should have and ended up leaning back. Right when I thought I saved it, my skis went out from under me.

I have been there before in winter and I ski but I want to learn how to snowboard this summer (im gonna be there) and I also want to make friends or meet ppl other than just hang uot with my fmly all the time. Im 15. Is there a ski school there, and will I be able to meet ppl my age and hang out???? If so what is a good place to go, and how do I break the ice??/
Thankyou
i have been to breckenridge before and it is amazing!!! when at ski school i would be really nice and funny. Give compliments on ski cloths and other stuff. When you on the runs and mess up laugh at yourself. Try to have a good time and be really outgoing. Im leaving for aruba in 20 min with my family. I know what you mean when you say you dont want to hang out just with your family!!! Good Luck hope all goes super and you make lots of friends!!

I am 51 and this is my first time on skis, i used to water ski, we are taking private lessons when we get there, is there any exercises i should be doing now to get ready?
If you used to do water skiing then you’ll find that turning on the snow is the same as on water. When you become a bit better at it to stop you do a quick turn. However, when you start skiing you don’t have your skis in a parallel position as when you become a bit better. Your teacher will probably tell you to keep the tip close to each other and the ends apart -like the two sides of a triangle but not crossing. To stop you bring the tips closer together.
Hi I got a hotel booked for a vacation for two at Breckenridge, CO. I now want to find the best deal for lift tickets and gear rentals. Would it be best to search online for a better deal, please any advice they are all very expensive … and I will need one day for training/instructions.
Thank you kindly
This is still for the 2005-2006 season since they aren’t open for the 2006-2007 season yet. Renting your gear in denver at colorado ski and golf or sports authority will be cheaper than doing it in the mountains. As for lessons. your only option is to go directly through the resort. Also, kingsoopers grocery stores have a ton of discounted lift tickets, but i’m not sure what their deals are yet. I bought the colorado pass for $479 and if i want lessons they are unlimited for $159 at any of the resorts covered in the colorado pass.

i’m staying in a lodge for 2 nights starting on the 13th of february. can anyone tell me how the skiing is? is there a good bit of snow up there? this is my first time going to breckenridge, so i dont really know what to expect around this time of year. (and i checked the weather for the next week; its supposed to snow for 5 days straight) also, how low might the temperatures get? im only asking because all the websites ive been checking tell me different things.
Everything is open. Snow is alright. El nino has had a bad impact this year. We have finally been getting some snow lately tho. Peak 7 always has some fresh tracks on it. It will be busy that wknd so I would def sniff out some of the runs on peak 7 or 10. Depending on your skill level. You will need something to cover your face because it can get really windy up there. In the last two weeks I have had blue bird days boarding in a light jacket and still being hot and I have had days where its cold(single digits) and cloudy and the wind is howling @ 40mph. Breck is a great place, you will have a good time!
