FRISCO \u2014 Breckenridge Ski Resort, which closed for the winter Sunday, will open its on-mountain summertime \u201cEpic Discovery\u201d recreational offerings Friday, as gondola service from downtown Breckenridge to Peak 8 base will resume after closure in recent weeks.<\/p>\n

At the resort\u2019s Peak 8 Base Camp, the Alpine slides and Gold Runner Coaster will open Friday. That said, with lingering on-mountain snow from Breck\u2019s winter season, scenic rides on the Colorado SuperChair as well as activities at Alpine Camp will not yet be ready, though they are anticipated to open later this month as weather and conditions permit.<\/p>\n

Other activities open at the Peak 8 Base Camp include the Mineshaft Maze and mini golf course.<\/p>\n

Once Alpine Camp opens near the top of the Colorado SuperChair, recreational offerings will include the Alpineer Challenge Course, the Expedition Zipline Tour, the Gold Summit Climbing Wall, the Interpretive Hiking Loop and the Observation Tower.<\/p>\n

Copper Mountain Resort<\/p>\n

Also scheduled to open Friday, Copper Mountain Resort is offering buy one, get one free summer activity day passes for its on-mountain recreation offerings. The offer is walk-up only. A $79 day pass to Copper provides access to the resort\u2019s newly enhanced Woodward WreckTangle ninja obstacle challenge course that features two new obstacles: the Licorice Bridge and Climbing Wall. The pass also includes access to the Rocky Mountain Coaster, West Lake activities, scenic chairlift rides on the Union Creek Quad out of West Village, the climbing wall, go-karts and bungee jumping.<\/p>\n

The resort\u2019s Copper Creek Golf Course, the highest golf course in the country, is scheduled to open its full 18 holes Friday. The course initially opened holes 3 through 7 due to terrain limitations due to lingering snowpack and mud-season conditions.<\/p>\n

Keystone Resort<\/p>\n

Keystone Resort opened for summer operations last Friday, with such activities as mountaintop snow tubing, downhill mountain biking and scenic lift rides.<\/p>\n

Keystone\u2019s bike park features 34 lift-serviced, single-track mountain biking trails. As of Thursday afternoon, the Dercum Mountain Bike Park had 10 of its trails open, from beginner to double-black diamonds.

The one-hour sessions take place on the deck of the ski area\u2019s Perch, and the ski area also has Yoga on the Mountain, an activity that combines hiking, yoga and lunch at the Black Mountain Lodge.<\/p>\n

A-Basin will offer hiking, trail running and mountain biking on 6.5 miles of its front-side trails as well as on another 3.3-mile trail descending into the ski area\u2019s back bowl.
