For the best prices buy your tickets at least seven days in advance. Vail Resorts owns Breckenridge and several of the nearby ski areas, and it is very hard to find any big discounts. For the most up to date prices and info click here: Lift Ticket prices and purchasing
There are lots of choices for rental ski gear. Here are 3 places that many of our renters use.
The first one is Charter Sports. They are along the path to the slope from our condo at the bottom level of the Marriott Mountain Valley Lodge. They have good skis and will store them overnight. If you book online, you should be able to get 30% off the walk-up price. Here is the link: https://www.chartersports.com/breckenridge-ski-rentals . It’s about a 3 min walk from the condo.
The other one close by is Christy Sports at the Main Street Station location. They offer a discount online from the walk-up rate. Here is their link: Christy Sports
Vail Resorts will actually deliver your skis to the condo (usually at a higher price). The closest location is Breckenridge Sports at The Maggie: Vail Resorts
You can also save a few bucks by stopping and renting on the way up. It tends to be a little cheaper, but not as convenient as having free storage near the hill. Main Street Sports
The Quicksilver Super 6 chairlift at the base of Peak 9 is a quick 5 min. walk from the condo. Just walk down the stairs, make a slight right turn across the road and follow the signs to the ski hill.
Current pricing and information can be found here: Ski and Snowboard Lessons
Lessons usually start at 10:00am and run through 3:00pm. There will normally be a 45-minute lunch break, with the specific time to be determined by your group.

Your Breckenridge lift ticket gives you full access to Keystone (25 min drive from the condo) and Crested Butte (3 hr. drive). Your Breckenridge 3+ day ticket allows you to ski up to half of the total days at Vail and/or Beaver Creek.
The lift tickets provide flexibility when you can ski or ride. The more days you purchase on your lift ticket, the more flexibility you will have:
1 day lift ticket: Ski or ride on the selected day
2 day lift tickets: Ski or ride any 2 days within a 3-day window (starting on the first day of your lift ticket)
3 day lift tickets: Ski or ride any 3 days within a 5-day window (starting on the first day of your lift ticket)
4 day lift tickets: Ski or ride any 4 days within a 6-day window (starting on the first day of your lift ticket)
5 day lift tickets: Ski or ride any 5 days within an 8-day window (starting on the first day of your lift ticket)
We have an area inside the condo to hang your equipment along with an electric boot/glove dryer. We also have a private ski locker on the bottom floor of the building for your equipment so that you don’t have to carry them upstairs. Ask for information about the code to the doors. If you rent skis or snowboards at the resort, most of the shops will allow for free overnight storage.
