Frisco – Tubing & Lake Views (About 15 Minutes Away)

• Just 15 minutes north of Breckenridge, Frisco has the best small town mountain vibes, plus some of my favorite thrifting!

🏔️Frisco Adventure Park

The highlight is the tubing hill at Frisco Adventure Park

• Lift-served tubing lanes (no hiking uphill)

• Designated time slots 

• Great option for non-skiers or families with kids

• Scenic views of snow-covered Dillon Reservoir

Bonus activities:

• Beginner ski & ride hill

• Nordic skiing and snowshoe trails

• Day lodge for warming up

🏔️ Keystone Resort – Night Skiing (Approx. 25 Minutes)

While I love Breck, I also love Keystone, and it is very close by. Keystone if one of the few Colorado resorts offering night skiing.

• Ski under the lights after sunset (typically on select runs)

• Less crowded evening slopes

• Great option if you arrive late or want bonus ski time

• Fun après scene at River Run Village

• Snow tubing park

• Ice skating on Keystone Lake

• Family-friendly village atmosphere

🏔️ Silverthorne – Shopping, Dining & Scenic Views (Approx. 20 Minutes)

Silverthorne is a great stop for shopping, dining, and quieter mountain town vibes. 

• Outlets at Silverthorne features brand-name stores offering discounts on outdoor gear, apparel, and winter essentials.

• Silverthorne has a growing culinary reputation with elevated yet relaxed restaurants, and could be easier to get reservations than in Breckenridge.

• Overlooks of Dillon Reservoir

• Access to snowshoe trails and quieter winter hikes

• Peaceful alternative to busier ski towns
