This year marks Breckenridge’s 50th anniversary. They opened for the first time on December 16th 1961. These guys weren’t there for that.

The crowd showed up in force.
You didn’t want kids, did you?
Breck had six runs open including the park lane terrain park.
Budweiser (yeah, we’ve never heard of them either) brewed a 50th birthday beer for the mountain.
