We love the trio of the Breck, Keystone, and A-Basin ski areas, and the rolling roller-coaster like blues of Peak 7 are our favorite runs. Having stayed in many ski and vacation condos, we've found the luxury of Grand Lodge to be unbeatable, and after staying at some lodges where 'ski-in/ski-out' actually meant 'hike-in/hike-out', we knew this is where we always wanted to be in Summit County. We like the convenience of access to Peak 8 via the gondola for the kids when needed, but the shorter lines to Peak 7 and the ski lockers, right off the return run!
