Breckenridge Spring Events
The Imperial Challenge will take place on April 5. The pseudo-triathlon race pairs together biking, skinning and downhill skiing. Participants start in town at 9,600 feet above sea-level and bike to the base of Peak 7. From there they transition over to uphill skis or splitboards and climb to the top of Peak 8 at 12,980 feet, then race back down the mountain. The Imperial Challenge is a unique, wild, and fun pseudo-triathlon, test of athleticism, rite of spring, and all around community party where local folks and uphill enthusiasts alike gather in Breck. This route is no easy feat with nearly 4,000 feet of elevation gain and approximately 10 miles of human-powered travel! Spandex, tutus and costumes are always encouraged! https://www.breckenridgerecreation.com/races/imperial-challenge

Breckenridge will also be hosting Kona Spring Beach at The Maggie for three-consecutive weeks. Skiers and riders can visit the base of Peak 9 from 1-4 p.m. for refreshing brews, food and tunes from a live DJ. The event will take place every Friday and Saturday afternoon from March 21-April 5.
Over on Peak 8, Breckenridge will host live DJ après parties at the T-Bar. The event will take place every Friday and Saturday through April 15.
Spring, especially April is the best time to be here in my opinion. The snow coverage is maximum, the crowds are gone, the sun is warm, the restaurants run specials and you will have no trouble getting a table. Ski ya soon!
