  Fourth of July in the mountains

  3–5 JulFeriado nacionalLotadoReserve cedo

  The Fourth of July weekend is one of the busiest of the mountain summer: lodging and campsites book out and roads into town are slow. Fireworks are often cancelled or replaced by drone shows when wildfire danger runs high. Fonte ↗

  Breckenridge Film Festival

  Autumn shoulder shutdown

  The aspens are down, the lifts are not yet running and the town takes its second holiday of the year. Restaurants close for a fortnight at a stretch, so check before driving up for dinner.

Lotação máxima — Ski season, Thanksgiving break em Estados Unidos

• Abertura

  Ski season

  7 Nov – 25 Abr · normalmenteLotado

  Snowmaking usually gets the first runs open in the second week of November and the top bowls hold into late April, which is a longer season than almost anywhere in the Rockies. Peak 6 and the alpine terrain open on snowpack, not on a date. Fonte ↗

Ainda em andamento: Autumn shoulder shutdown (5 Out – 10 Nov)

Lotação máxima — Ski season, Ullr Fest

• Risco

  Avalanche season

  1 Dez – 30 Abr

  Colorado's continental snowpack builds weak layers early and keeps them all winter, which is why the state leads the country for avalanche deaths. Read the Colorado Avalanche Information Center forecast before anything outside the ropes, including the pass roads. Fonte ↗

• Festival

  Ullr Fest

  17–19 DezGrande festivalLotadoFechamentos

  Three days of ritual snow-begging to the Norse god of winter, built round a deliberately silly Main Street parade and a record attempt at the world's longest shotski. It runs the week before the Christmas rates kick in. Fonte ↗

• Feriado

  Christmas to New Year ski peak

  20 Dez – 3 Jan · normalmenteNatal e Ano-NovoLotadoReserve cedo

  The week from Christmas to New Year is the busiest of the ski season: lodging and lift-ticket prices reach their highs, ski school and rentals book out and lift lines are longest. Book months ahead, and early-season snow cover varies year to year. Fonte ↗
