Native's Guide to Skiing in Breckenridge

Lift Tickets, Ski Rentals, and More

Getting organized for your ski day at Breckenridge Resort is a task in itself, especially with the current COVID restrictions put in place. Do you need to make a reservation as well as purchase a lift ticket? What kind of gear will you need? Where can you rent snow pants and a winter jacket? What’s the latest update on skiable terrain? Here’s your guide for all the steps you need to take to get on the slopes.

Purchase Your Lift Tickets

A lift ticket to get you up the mountain is arguably the most important thing (other than the gear itself) to purchase. Breckenridge Ski Resort makes purchasing lift tickets easy online and you will not be able to purchase them from a ticket office the day you are wanting to ski due to COVID restrictions. Space is limited, so be sure to get your lift ticket and solidify your days on the slopes before anything else.

Lift Ticket FAQ

Does a lift ticket count as a reservation or does that need to be made separately?

A single day lift ticket counts as a reservation since you are making it for a specific day. You will not need to call to reserve that day. If you are able to purchase your lift ticket, you are reserved to ski.

Does a lift ticket give me access to the mountain?

Lift ticket, day pass, reservation – it’s one in the same. Your lift ticket gives you access to Breckenridge Ski Resort during their operating hours the day you purchased the lift ticket for.

Is an Epic Day Pass the same thing as a lift ticket?

Epic Day Passes are part of a series of different passes skiers and snowboarders can purchase for the season. These are now unavailable and lift tickets are what will be sold on a day by day basis for the remainder of the season.

Reserve Your Spot

As mentioned above, the purchase of a lift ticket does not require a reservation. However, if you are an Epic Pass holder you will need to make a reservation to ski.
