62 / BUILDING DIALOGUE / March 2020 Today, the Peak 8 base area includes 225,000 square feet of new building construction, with two levels of underground parking. It is home of the Breckenridge Ski and Snowboard School, new retail and rental facility, new season pass offices and lift ticket windows on a heated plaza just steps away from the Colorado and Rocky Mountain SuperChair lifts. The elevated experience at Peak 8 includes the new Ullr Café, an ice-skating rink, escalators (Breck- enridge’s first), new town transit stop and public restrooms. In addition to the public spaces, construction also includes the completion of additional residential spaces for Breckenridge Grand Vacations. The overall resort features three buildings, all connected by interior walkways, with a total of 253 total residenc- es upon completion and with amenities such as the Infinity Spa, Robbie’s Tavern, multiple lounge and bar areas, family fun center, fitness centers, indoor and outdoor pools and hot tubs, including a new infinity hot tub and children’s pools with water features, a rooftop owners-only lounge, five movie theaters and a new es- cape room. The work done to transform Breckenridge’s Peak 8 into an im- proved, world-class destination for visitors to this iconic ski resort town required tremendous coordination, teamwork and skill. As a result, resort employees and visitors have commented on how great the new spaces are, including improved flow, dependability and a bright and open feel of the new base areas. With all the elements in place, it was all up and running in time for the 2019/2020 ski season. \\ / Peak 8 at Breckenridge / OPENING ART: The Peak 8 base area includes 225,000 square feet of new building construction, with two levels of underground parking.
