Welcome to Epic Discovery, the Summer experience at Breckenridge. It’s a mountain of possibilities that enables you to discover nature through fun in ways you’d never imagined – while engaging with our guests to provide a true Experience of a Lifetime. Discover a side of the mountain you’ve never seen, an experience revealed but once a year. It’s an uncharted season, where roaming through treetops, riding the horizon, and stretching the bounds of nature allow you to reach your peak.

 

The Mountain Activities Operations Guide provides attentive and friendly guest service to visitors of the GoldRunner Coaster, Alpine Slide, and Base Area Activities.  The Goldrunner Coaster is an elevated roller coaster track where our guests race down the mountain on 2,500 feet of hairpin curves and twists.  The Alpine Slide is another 2,600 foot long thrill ride down the mountain filled with dips and banked turns. Our Base activities include multiple experiences such as the Bungee Trampoline, Gem Stone Sluice, Maze, Kid’s Climbing Wall, Kid’s Tubing, and Bounce House, Kids’ Tubing, Kids’ Ropes-Course, & Kids’ Zip Line. Operations Guides will be based at one area of our summer activities to become true stakeholders of safety and guest service concerning their area.
