Free gondola rides brought many tourists to this bustling ski town during the summer. Beautiful little shops down main street.

Get used to altitude..

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveler

Charging full price for spring ski conditions and having half the mountain closed didn't justify the price.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

Lift attendants didn't seem very friendly and 1 chair lift broke for over an hour (with skiers on the lift).

5/5 - Excellent

Get there early to get descent parking.

Summit County (Free) Bus in front of Snowshoe Motel in Frisco, Co goes every 30 min or so to Breckenridge and to Copper Mountain. If you take that bus to Breckenridge and then switch to the Swan Mtn Flyer bus, that bus goes to Keystone & A-Basin. There's a Subway right by the Breckenridge Station for a quick egg sandwich breakfast or sub lunch before you hit the trails if you have a little layover time between buses. But take the early bus cause the later ones really get crowded.
