Breckenridge Resort is not my favorite place to snowboard with all the catwalks and flat terrain, not to mention the traffic. Of course like all resorts it has its advantages, but unless you like carrying a ski pole as a rider or the snowboard foot scoot, not my top pick.

That said, it is still a blast any day you get to make turns and take some runs in ideal conditions. We did a lot of scooting this day through the catwalks and flat terrain, but tried to stay near the steep areas.

The snow and off and on whiteout conditions made for a good day at the resort. We even made it to the highpoint of the resort! A mellow day of riding and enjoying the scoot foot in flat terrain.

Lovely day with great company and a great time snarfing yummy food afterwards!
