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.

A modern touch

At Wedgewood Lodge, we want to give you a distinctive look into the past history of Breckenridge. Each photo in your historical gallery is unique to your stay and took countless hours to curate. There are stories to tell about Breckenridge and Summit County today as well, and the following photos have been shot by Julia Anna Moore.

Summer 2022

Storms in Summit County roll in like clock work during the summertime, so you better do all your fun outdoor activities before lunch. Sometimes the rain blows over quickly, sometimes it lasts until sunset, creating a beautiful pattern in the sky.

Autumn 2022

A small snowstorm turned the peaks white in September, and I ran out of my front door to get the clouds leaving the mountains as the sky cleared. The excitement of ski season set in.
