The resort opened earlier than expected on Nov. 7, which was the earliest opening day in more than a decade. North America’s highest chairlift, the Imperial Express SuperChair, had its earliest opening ever on Thanksgiving Day 2018. That’s ever in the history of the chairlift’s existence since 2005. ![](https://www.breckenridge.me/hubfs/201812_brk_garcia_snow_dec20-2.jpg) Breck received 80 inches of snow in the month of November – the second highest snowfall recorded in November over the past 20 years. Breck recorded 110 inches of snowfall from mid-October through the end of November – the most early season snowfall on record for the resort. Season-to-date the resort has had more than 14 feet of snow. The T-Bar and 6-Chair had their earliest openings in more than 10 years, providing access to High Alpine terrain (above-treeline, bowl skiing) in November. The Five Peaks (Peaks 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10) were open early, as well, the earliest in history for all five peaks to open for skiing and riding at the resort.  ![](https://www.breckenridge.me/hubfs/201812_BRK_DODDS_DewTour_0101.jpg) Breckenridge ended the year with an all new take on a classic event in the Dew Tour, the first time ever a major event employed a three-course layout with a modified superpipe and a slopestyle course divided into two different jump and rail zones. The competition attracted the world's best freeskiers and snowboarders and spilled over once again into the streets of Breckenridge with a really cool streetstyle event in downtown Breck where athletes were hitting jumps and rails on Main Street.  The Dew Tour received a ton of attention and was shown on the major network NBC many times, once right in the midst of the holiday season on Sunday, Dec. 28, with a great time slot from 4 to 5 p.m., so the whole country got to see how great the snow was to close out 2018 in Breckenridge.  ### 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)
