Breck's new 490-seat restaurant is part of $100 Million in companywide improvements

October 24, 2016

Since the 2011-12 season, Vail Resorts has invested an industry-leading $500 million to enhance every facet of the guest experience at the Company’s 11 U.S. mountain resorts.

For this upcoming ski season, Vail Resorts is adding a new restaurant to the many things to do in Breckenridge,  CO and upgrading a lift at Vail.This year, the investments total approximately $100 million in improvements to the guest experience for the upcoming winter across its resorts. Breckenridge's Peak 7 restaurant is among the most significant improvements in the effort, as the restaurant will transform the atmosphere at Peak 7, offering skiers and snowboarders in that area a chance to rest and find renourishment as they warm up and enjoy the views of Breckenridge

“Guests expect a premium experience when they visit one of our resorts, including the highest levels of guest service as well as the cutting edge in lifts, restaurants ... and other elements of their vacation,” said Kirsten Lynch, chief marketing officer of Vail Resorts. “This year’s resort improvement plan reflects our goal to continue to deliver an Experience of a Lifetime for all of our guests.”

Here's two of the most exciting projects underway for Colorado visitors and residents to enjoy during the 2016-17 winter season:

Pioneer Crossing Opens at Breck – Breckenridge Ski Resort will open Pioneer Crossing, a new, 490-seat restaurant just steps from Independence SuperChair on Peak 7, one of the resort’s five iconic peaks. The new restaurant will offer a variety of house made options like salads to order and a Mediterranean station, all coupled with dramatic views of Breckenridge and the surrounding area. The restaurant is set to open December 2016 and will highlight the mining history of Breckenridge’s past.

Replacement of Sun Up LiftVail Mountain continues its wave of tremendous investments with the replacement of the Sun Up Lift (#17) with a four-passenger lift to debut this winter as chair #9. The Sun Up Express (#9) is a primary lift on the back bowls of Vail Mountain, serving intermediate and advanced terrain and dispersing skiers and snowboarders into the legendary back-bowls. The new lift will reduce wait times and improve skier and snowboarder circulation. The current lift - a Doppelmayr fixed-grip triple- was installed in 1979 at Beaver Creek and relocated to Vail in 1992. The new lift will increase capacity by 65% and reduce the average ride time from 8.2 minutes to 3.9 minutes. The increase will take pressure off of the High Noon Express (#5) with more guests using the new lift rather than cycling back to the bottom of the back bowls. The new lift is the ninth chair replacement in the last 10 years at Vail and will make all major lifts at Vail high-speed.

Breck opens for the 2016/17 season on November 11, a day not to be missed.

Opening day is "the only day that rivals Christmas for us," according to resort officials, "and we make sure to start the season in-style."
