Location: Lodge & Spa at Breckenridge, Breckenridge, CO
So I'm in here in Breckenridge for some snowboarding before season's end and checking out Spring Fever, a month long festival of free music, great food, and on-slope events to celebrate the arrival of spring. The weather is sweet right now in town (jacket optional), and it's perfect for cruising main street. Tomorrow, I'll be checking out the "5 'Til 5" Terrain Park Happy Hours which is every Thursday from 2-5 PM through April 21, 2011. 5-Chair Lift, Freeway, and Park Lane will be open until 5 with DJs, free BBQ, giveaways and contests. Check out GoBreck.com for packages and a full events calendar for Spring Fever.
While being new to Breck during ski season, I got the inside scoop and solid attack plan from the magnificent Rachel, from the Breckenridge Resort Chamber to take on the mountain. It turns out that April is isn't a busy time for Breck since the Spring Break rush from all the colleges is done in March, so it's a great time and locale for getting on the slopes before season's end, which is April 19, 2011 weather permitting. Of course it could all change once the word gets out, so if you can get out here by the weekend, do so. Definitely check it out next season.
I'll also be checking out the Gold Runner Coaster courtesy of Austyn, from Breckenridge Ski Resort as a diversion while on the mountain tomorrow. Should be fun!
That's all for now from the Lodge & Spa at Breckenridge. Time to check out their fitness center, and take in the KILLER view from here(see above) before sundown.
If you've got a story from Breck in April, share it here.
Sounds like you're enjoying Spring Fever so far! It's definitely a pretty sweet festival and the Ozomatli concert this weekend and the Beer festival are going to be super popular events. Pro snowboarder Stever Fisher did a funny video on the month based on that "We got that B-Roll" you should check it out here: http://buzz.to/Wc29Q
