With the New Year\u2019s new snowfall, Breckenridge Ski Resort is pushing into the resort\u2019s bountiful hike-to terrain.<\/p>\n

Breckenridge announced on its social media channels Thursday that hike-to terrain is beginning to open across the resort\u2019s five peaks.<\/p>\n

\u201cBe sure to thanks a patroller,\u201d the resort wrote on its Instagram channel.<\/p>\n

As of Friday afternoon, Breckenridge reported a 48-inch base depth and powder and packed-powder conditions across its peaks thanks to a foot of snow over the previous two days and 152 inches of total snowfall thus far this season.<\/p>\n

The resort also reported 2,228 acres of skiing and riding open to the public, 77% of the resort\u2019s total skiable terrain. As of Friday afternoon, that included the double-black diamond hike-to Beyond Bowl and the Intuition and Wonderland runs on Peak 6, Debbie\u2019s Alley and Vertigo in the resort\u2019s Peak 7 Alpine, Boundary Chutes and Imperial Bowl in the Peak 8 Imperial zone and all terrain in the resort\u2019s back bowls of Peak 8. On Peak 9, the resort reported select high-Alpine extreme runs, including The Windows and Twin Chutes, as open.<\/p>\n

The resort reported some of its highest-Alpine terrain, such as Lake Chutes and Whale\u2019s Tail, as closed Friday afternoon. Breckenridge, like ski areas across Summit County on Friday, had several chairlift and trail closures, namely above-tree-line, due to the day\u2019s gusty winds.<\/p>\n

Also on Friday, Breckenridge opened its halfpipe. Late last year, Breckenridge Chief Operating Officer John Buhler said the resort\u2019s halfpipe would drop to 18 feet tall to accommodate more casual skiers and riders.<\/p>\n
