Breckenridge Ski Resort and Keystone Resort Continue to Expand Terrain Heading Into the Holidays
Both Breckenridge Ski Resort and Keystone Resort continue to expand terrain, as each resort has opened additional trails every week since Opening Day. Both resorts are offering top-to-bottom skiing and snowboarding across multiple peaks prior to the holidays, and will be adding more terrain heading into this weekend.

With natural snow and more terrain on tap for the holidays, skiers and snowboarders can look forward to enjoying fresh tracks and expanded terrain on the mountain by day and the historic and festive streets of downtown Breckenridge by night.
