How to get to Snow White

This unit is named after one of the hard to reach expert runs on Peak 8. Packed with face shots after a big storm, this is an extremely steep experts only bowl that leads to other difficult tree runs such as Double Barrel and Boneyard. Snow White is hardly open early season.

Over the years

I picked Snow White to name this unit because of how lucky you have to be with the conditions to have a great run, and how difficult it is to get there anyhow. You also have to be a good skier or snowboarder. Snow White represents the amazing feats of human beings in the Rockies.

In the background is Peak 8 of the Tenmile Range. In the 1880s-1900s, Breckenridge locals called the mountain Peak Tilly Ann, named after Matilda Silverthorn and Ann Remine, the two young women that allegedly first climbed Peak 8. *Original creator: circa 1880s-1903 (Creation); Westerman, Otto.

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.

Snowy mountains at dawn with a purple and pink sky. The peaks are gently illuminated by early sunlight, creating a serene atmosphere. — A hazy sunset paints over Loveland Pass

Spring 2022

A fluffy snow had fallen all day, and as the sky cleared up in time for sunset. Pinks and purples stretched over the peaks as the temperature dropped, welcoming in the night.

Loveland Pass is the perfect place to take in the view, just be sure that you have 4WD if it’s been snowing and park off the road in the parking lot.

The sun sets, lighting up the Continental Divide that has grown quiet as guests have left the resort for the day.

Arapahoe Basin is an advanced mountain at the other end of the county.
