Breck’s Fourth of July Weekend

With warm sunny skies in the forecast and the Breck Summer Fun Park in full swing, Breckenridge Ski Resort is excited to share that the Ski Hill BBQ Station at the fun park opens Friday, July 4 and additional mountain biking trails are expected open just in time for the holiday weekend.

The Ski Hill BBQ Station is a popular dining option in the winter and will return this Friday for summer, open daily starting at 11 a.m. through Labor Day weekend. Located on Peak 8, the BBQ station features in-house smoked meats and homemade style sides like smoke and braised baby back ribs and grilled corn on the cob, with butter, salt and parmesan cheese.
