Cross-Country Skiing and Snowshoeing in Breckenridge
The groomed network works for first-timers on flat, open loops and for experienced skate skiers on rolling forest trails, and the separate snowshoe trails keep walkers off the ski tracks. Warming huts and cabins along the system, including a hut with a sauna, give longer outings a natural turnaround point and make good stops for a group tour.
