Slather on the SPF, take some laps in the slush bumps, and celebrate another fabulous ski season with these awesome activities.
The Imperial Challenge is a multi-sport challenging race with a low-key community vibe that celebrates springtime in Breckenridge. It starts with a 6-mile bike or run, followed by an uphill ski climb to the summit of Peak 8, reaching 12,987 feet!
