Breckenridge, CO – Breckenridge Ski Resort today announced 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 Friday, Nov. 8, and starting Nov. 1, Breck will host a series of promotions designed to generate excitement, culminating with Opening Day.
With this year being the Inaugural Season of the Colorado resort’s new Peak 6 expansion, Breck is hosting a scavenger hunt across the Front Range. The resort 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. The public has from Sat., Nov. 2 through Thurs. Nov. 7 to try and find them. Keep an eye on Breck’s official Instagram feed (@breckenridgemtn) for clues as to where the sculptures are hidden.
On Thursday, Nov. 7, Breckenridge will host the resort’s annual “Wake up Breck” promotion, with Breckenridge Ski Resort management on hand to give out free coffee and exclusive commemorative Breck mugs throughout town at local coffee shops. The giveaway begins at 7 a.m. and only continues while supplies last. This year, Town of Breckenridge staff will also be on hand distributing the town’s new free reusable shopping bags.

The first several hundred guests in attendance will get to partake in free breakfast items, including Bavarian cream-stuffed nutella éclairs courtesy of the Ski Hill Grill, Nature Valley Soft Baked Oatmeal Squares, complimentary coffee provided by Starbucks, and other prizes courtesy of the resort’s official partners. Additional festivities will include a special tribute to honor United States service men and women as part of Veterans’ Weekend.
