What Does “Ski-In Ski-Out” Mean?

Ski-in ski-out is a common phrase that you will hear in any ski town. And it means exactly as it sounds! Having the ability to access a lift directly from your door and then ski home at the end of the day. However, a lot of people use the term a bit loosely and ski-in ski-out Breckenridge properties come in a few different varieties. There are more accurate ways to describe the various levels of ski access which we will break down below.

Different Types of Ski Access in Breckenridge

True ski-in ski-out means that you have immediate access to the slopes. This means no long walks, no buses to catch, and the true convenience of walking out your door and putting on your skis. There are few properties in Breckenridge that have this luxury. Some of our favorites include The Village at Breckenridge, Beaver Run, BlueSky, One Ski Hill Place, and Crystal Peak Lodge. 

Another commonly used term is “Walk to Slopes”. While this isn’t true-ski-in ski-out, it still beats having to load up the car with all of your gear and then having to find a place to park. Many projects along Four O’clock Road and Ski Hill Road are short walks to the Snowflake Chairlift or the Gondola. At the end of the day, they are easily accessed via the Four Oclock Ski Run into town. There are also properties nestled at the base of Peak 9 on Columbine Road that are close enough to walk to and from the Quicksilver Chairlift. A lot of these locations not only have great ski access, but also are walking distance to Main Street. 

If walking in your ski boots sounds like too much effort, try hopping on the Breck Free Ride and enjoy “Bus to Slopes” access. There are bus stops all over the core Breckenridge area and chances are there is a stop steps away from where you are staying. Click here to see the routes and schedules! The system is very easy to use and is totally free. So no need to worry about parking and it feels just as if you are skiing in and out of your door.

Another benefit is that a lot of these projects offer fantastic summer locations. If you are close in proximity to the slopes, you are also close in proximity to hiking and biking! The ski area also offers a variety of other summer activities including scenic chairlift rides, the Goldrunner Coaster, mini golf, bungee trampolines, and more. 

We briefly touched on this earlier, but a lot of these locations offer easy access to Main Street, Breckenridge also.
