BRECKENRIDGE WINTER VACATION

Your Customized Family Adventure
Breckenridge Trip Proposal

Hi, Kyle. This proposal includes slopeside lodging at Beaver Run Resort and Epic 3 Day Restricted Passes. I've planned activities for everyone: while you, Tanner, and Carter enjoy the slopes, Jennifer can explore the historic district, enjoy wine experiences, and relax at the resort's spa. The itinerary features family activities like the Monster Truck Sleigh Ride and snowmobiling to the Continental Divide.

I recommend booking airfare and lodging ASAP as prices will only increase. We can finalize other details like equipment rentals and additional activities later.
