Site Description
Nestled at the base of Peak 9 and only a short distance from historic Main Street in Breckenridge, Beaver Run is in the perfect location where you can find adventurous activities, including ski-out access to the Beaver Run Superchair and the Quicksilver Chair. If you want a historical experience, take the complimentary shuttle to downtown Breckenridge; the town was first settled in 1859 when gold was discovered in the Blue River, which still runs through town. The town has preserved and restored its historical roots and offers many fantastic shops, museums, and dining options to enhance your overall experience. Beaver Run is a full service resort featuring the best amenities, including two heated pools, seven hot tubs, steam room & sauna, workout room, and relaxing spa. Beaver Run offers great dining options: Spencer’s Steak and Spirits, Base 9 Lounge and the Skywalk Market - open year round - and the Coppertop Bar and Café - open during winter season.

Outdoor Activities

Attention Skiers and Riders!

Pro tip! If you’re planning to attend a meeting at Breckenridge Resort, getting an Epic Pass or Day Pass in advance will save you 50-60% off ticket window pricing. Plus, there are some extra perks like food and retail discounts, and it will save you time at the resort.

If you’re looking to make the most of your time on the mountain, here’s a quick rundown:

  1. Season Pass: Ideal if you plan to ski or ride for 8+ days throughout the season. This pass offers access to multiple resorts, giving you flexibility and value.
  2. 1-7 Day Pass: Offers the best day rate if you only plan on skiing during your trip to Breckenridge. You can customize it for peak or non-peak days and choose which resorts you want access to, tailoring your experience to your schedule and preferences.

Epic Pass products will no longer be available for purchase after December 8, 2024. After this date, you will only be able to buy tickets at the window or through onsite discounts, which will be less favorable.  There will be no discounts at Breckenridge Resort onsite. 

Please note that Epic Passes are non-refundable. If you plan to ski this winter, purchasing an Epic Pass now is the most budget friendly option.  Enjoy your time on the slopes and at your meeting!  

For questions regarding the passes or other activities onsite, please email Lauren laurenc@keystonesymposia.org
