Breckenridge Ski Resort will host a week-long series of celebrations leading up to the start of the 2013-14 ski season. This year, Breck opens for their 52nd season for skiing and riding on Nov. 8, 2013, and starting Nov. 1, Breck will host a series of promotions for Opening Day.
This year’s Breck opening week event schedule includes:
Six Days of Sixes Scavenger Hunt – This year is the Inaugural Season of the new Peak 6 expansion, and Breck is hosting a scavenger hunt across the Front Range. Breck will hide six large wooden carvings in the shape of the new Peak 6 logo in six different Colorado counties, and the first guests who locate them will win the chance to ride First Chair of the season at Breck. Guests have from Nov. 2 through Nov. 7 to try and find them. Instagram users can visit Breck’s official feed (@breckenridgemtn) for clues as to where the sculptures are hidden.
