Having stayed at Peak 8 before, we decided to try something new and we were elated. This fantastic 2 BR, 2 BA w/den slope side condo on the 2nd floor with views of everything did not disappoint. The owner, Jeff, was a true pleasure to work with and the personification of professional and attentive. The location can't be beat, with all of Peak 7 to explore and loads of blue tracks, not to mention the gorgeous new Pioneer restaurant at the top. A few easy traverses and we had all of Peaks 8 & 9 at our feet. Breck sports is on site at the base of the mountain and was the perfect spot to rent/reserve our gear, rather than dealing with all the hustle and bustle at Peak 8. While the ski school is located at Peak 8, we found it a non-issue as a simple hop of the gondola right out the back door of the Grand Lodge carried us to our destination. In fact, the gondola was so convenient (and free), we took it into town when shopping, sightseeing or readying for our dogsled tour. And while the gondola did stop running a short while after the slopes closed, the free Grand Lodge shuttle was an easy phone call away and happily picked us up from the market, Breckenridge Brew Pub or several locations downtown. Skiing over the holidays never gets old: the lobby and foyer decorations were beautiful, the staff so accommodating and the ambiance and fresh powder just magical. We enjoyed several of the Lodge's heated pools and spas, the Sevens restaurant and apres ski gathering as well as the small sundries shop with free coffee each morning. Concierges were available to help with adventures and the Lodge had a full menu of activities to keep both adults and kids entertained. Just beneath the Sevens was the most amazing (to our kids anyways) arcade/game room with adjacent private theaters which we reserved for our own movie night, complete with bring-our-own food/munchies. Ski lockers come with the unit rental, so one less thing to hassle with in the morning. In room washer & dryer made all the costume changes of daily skiing to nighttime relaxing a breeze. In sum, we could not have asked for more and would highly recommend this amazing slope side condo. No need to search further, you have found what you're looking for in New Years skiing right here.
