Breckenridge is known for its world-class skiing, friendly flavor of Western hospitality, history and … its world-class ability to throw the best parties and events like Ullr Fest, Oktoberfest and the International Snow Sculpture Championships.

Want to join in the festivities? Plan your winter vacation to coincide with one of Breck’s famous - or infamous, in some cases - events. Here’s our guide to the best winter events in Breckenridge.

Some people call it apres ski. Others call it happy hour. Whatever you want to call it, locals and visitors to Breckenridge have a long tradition of gathering at the end of their ski days to swap stories, sip some brews and enjoy the views. 

Speaking of views, Breckenridge has some of the best apres ski decks in the state, if not the ski industry. Here are our favorite after-ski spots in Breck, starting with our own Coppertop Bar right here at the base of Peak 9.
