Inside Line: Breckenridge, Colorado

Marquee Route:

Hang a right from the top of the Imperial Express into North Bowl for a half-dozen slalom-size turns. Then cut right into Horseshoe Bowl, where 40-degree faces refill with snow on a near-nightly basis.

Off-Broadway:

Aptly named for what it does to your quads, The Burn, skier’s left on Peak 10, starts off in closet-wide pines but funnels into 40-plus-degree gullies through dense foliage. Get there from the left side of Crystal and see what kind of snow you can stir up.
