Breck currently has 80 percent of terrain open, including more than 120 trails and 2,300 acres across all five peaks. ![Image 2018-01-17_11-03-06-302.jpeg](https://www.breckenridge.me/hs-fs/hubfs/EM%20Breckenridge/Image%202018-01-17_11-03-06-302.jpeg?width=757&height=505&name=Image%202018-01-17_11-03-06-302.jpeg) The Imperial Express SuperChair tops out at 12,840 feet after a quick 2.7 minute ride to the top of Imperial Bowl. ![Image 2018-01-17_10-54-57-728.jpeg](https://www.breckenridge.me/hs-fs/hubfs/EM%20Breckenridge/Image%202018-01-17_10-54-57-728.jpeg?width=757&height=642&name=Image%202018-01-17_10-54-57-728.jpeg) The chairlift offers easy access to three high-alpine bowls and hike-to access to the renowned Lake Chutes, Snow White, Whale’s Tail and Peak 7 Bowl areas. Skiers and snowboarders can currently access terrain in Imperial Bowl, Imperial Ridge and the majority of the high alpine terrain on Peak 7 via the Imperial Express SuperChair. ![IMG_4242.jpg](https://www.breckenridge.me/hs-fs/hubfs/EM%20Breckenridge/IMG_4242.jpg?width=757&height=505&name=IMG_4242.jpg) Breck’s mountain operations teams will continue to work towards opening the remainder of the resort’s terrain, including more of the resort’s famed hike-to terrain, after additional natural snowfall. More snow is in the forecast at Breckenridge for this weekend! ### POPULAR POSTS ### Subscribe to Email Updates ### Recent Posts ### Posts by Topic - [Family (106)](https://www.breckenridge.me/topic/family) - [Ski (70)](https://www.breckenridge.me/topic/ski) - [Activities (57)](https://www.breckenridge.me/topic/activities) - [Events (50)](https://www.breckenridge.me/topic/events) - [Ski Industry (42)](https://www.breckenridge.me/topic/ski-industry) ![footer-skiier.jpg](https://www.breckenridge.me/hs-fs/hubfs/footer-skiier.jpg?width=4278&name=footer-skiier.jpg "footer-skiier.jpg") CONNECT WITH US - [**](http://www.facebook.com/breckenridge.me) Contact Us [888-784-8643](callto:888-784-8643)   SIGN UP FOR UPDATES Copyright © 2022 Resortia LLC [Privacy Policy](https://www.breckenridge.me/privacy)
