Hello friend,
Welcome to the Wedgewood Lodge, slope-side, next to Snowflake Lift. Snowflake is a one-of-a-kind two-person lift that has a mid-load station and 70-degree turn to put you at Peak 8. It’s personally one of my favorite lifts of all time especially when snow is quietly falling, blanketing the landscape in Colorado’s legendary white powder.
We’re extremely stoked that you have chosen Breckenridge, and even more so that you’re staying with us. We pride ourselves in being a long-standing boutique experience, with studio spaces to three bedroom townhomes. We’re still family-owned and operated and specialize in group travel and weddings. Whether you’re here for the ski season or a summer getaway, we are only a few blocks from Main Street and just a stones throw from the slopes where you can ride and hike.
We renovated in 2023–2024 and within that renovation we decided to customize each and every space with unique historic photographs curated by me (Jules)! The artwork in your unit is unique to you and contains a piece of Breck’s history. In addition, you’ll see some of my own photographs sprinkled throughout the space. Each unit is also named after a run somewhere in Breck’s 3,000+ acres, with the story behind it explained below. Unfortunately, we only have 52 units, so a lot of runs were left unmentioned but we hope that you get to explore as much as you can. At Wedgewood, we love where we live and want to display how far the town has come. Thanks for coming, and enjoy your stay.
How to get to Double Jack.
This unit is named after a fun, fast, and steep run on Peak 10. Double Jack is a single black diamond that is reliably open. We recommend that only experienced riders go to Peak 10. There’s a reason why the signs say “Experts Only” at the base of Falcon Super Chair. To get to Double Jack, you must take the high speed Falcon Chair to the top of Peak 10 and follow the signage. When crossing over to different runs, always check uphill before turning. Many collisions happen because of the snow fence that splits this area. It’s one of the main groomed runs, but always be sure to check the groom report on Breck’s website.
Tiger №1 dredge after it sank in the Blue River in Breckenridge, Colorado, in November 1937: A day earlier the 300-ton bucket line (in the foreground) dropped while crews were doing repair work, causing the dredge to twist and resulting in a crack in the hull. The dredge was raised and repaired, and operations resumed April 11, 1938. East-facing buildings on Main Street can be seen in the background. Original creator: Unknown date. Unidentified.

Tiger №1 dredge on the Blue River in Breckenridge: Tiger №1 dredge on the Blue River just north of Breckenridge, Colorado. Probably before the boat was rebuilt and new machinery installed. The dredge moved within town limits, from the north to the south boundary. Buildings in the path of the dredge had to be demolished or moved. Original creator: Circa 1933; Unidentified.
