Breckenridge USA

One of the top 3 destinations in the US for Brits. Specialist park and half-pipe, decent range of pistes across 4 tree-lined peaks, but small by US standards. Advanced skiers will find some good but short runs, while the expanded top bowls offer some worthwhile off-piste at Lake Chutes
