La Nina Loves Breckenridge

January 18 saw 26" of fresh snow for a record 1day snowfall total in 18 years. And then it kept snowing. The last week saw 58" of snow- that's 2" shy of 5 feet in one week! Incredible. There's no over-reporting going on here. The streets are full of snow with no where to put it- parking is a challenge!


The weather report is calling for more snow for the next three days. La Nina really does love Breck.
Check out the radar too, storm after storm is heading onto the continental US.

If you're in town, come visit us, we have a pretty nice 20% off section in the back of the store.

Breck Opens

ITS HERE

The season has finally arrived and we here at breckgear.com couldn't be happier! Breckenridge opened a few days ago and the staff has been hitting the slopes hard.
One piece that has been constant for the crew is the sentinel thermal jacket. This piece has accomplished early season excellence by combining the supreme wind proofing and breathablitly of Gore "Windstopper" materials with a light weight, but durable, shell nylon. The piece also boast a highloft fleece interior for adding warmth. My friends keep giving me a hard time saying the jacket is so soft and comfy that it must be made from baby seals or unicorn horns or something.
It isn't; baby seals are a myth.
This jacket has been awesome for resort skiing and it is breathable enough for us to wear while we hike and skin in the mornings or evenings.
