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 Bliss.
This is a great run on a powder day, if you can get there before everyone else. It’s a wide open blue bowl that then gives you two and a half options to return to Peak 6 base such as Deja Vu, Euphoria or Delirium. If you want to get bowl skiing checked off your bucket list, but aren’t quite at the level of dropping into expert terrain, this is the place to hang out. Take Kensho SuperChair and hang a left off of the chairlift. All of these names were in line with Breck’s marketing plan when they opened Peak 6, “Awaken Your Sixth Sense.” All of Peak 6 was named by the public, with Bliss being named by Katie Odens from Boulder.
Love.
This unit has photographs from an exclusive collection of glass plates taken by a woman named Mary Marks. She captured everyday life in Breckenridge during mining times, including her loving relationship with her husband. These photos are super unique because most photographs from this time period were more stiff and just for the purpose of remembering the face of your own family. Mary Marks had more fun. Read about her here.
None of these photos have titles or descriptions currently, but special thanks goes out to Daniel and Becky. Credit is owed to USU_P0597; Mary M Marks photograph collection; Photograph Collections Special Collections and Archives. Utah State University Merrill-Cazier Library. Logan, Utah.
