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 High Anxiety.
High Anxiety is a run on Peak 8 in Breckenridge that connects Rounders and Spruce. It’s easily missed by many, but when you’re on Peak 8 next, give it a look. It’s rated a black diamond, and is named after a successful Mel Brooks film named High Anxiety. Neighboring run Goodbye Girl is also named after a 1977 film.
Do moguls give you anxiety?
It’s alright, riding bumps are a difficult skill to acquire but with enough practice, you’ll look just as cool as these guys. The Bump Buffet was a telemarking event that was put on by Breckenridge for years, usually held on runs like Peerless and High Anxiety. With tricks, costumes, and a big crowd, the bump buffet was popular in the spring when the Colorado mountains had the highest vibes. Many of these photos were found early in the research process on telemarkskier.com but seems to be redirected to freeheellife.com now. I believe that someone bought the domain to start their telemark equipment company and now all these pictures can’t be found on the internet, therefore, I don’t know where many of these images came from or who took them. If you recognize any of these, please contact us so we can give correct credit.
