There are many places that make tacos in Breckenridge, but only Cool River Coffee House does them in a way that really hits the spot early in the morning. A long-time local's favorite, this coffee shop will delight your taste buds and fill up your belly.

Whether you are into spicy or mild, corn or flour, beef or chicken, these tacos are legitimately great! Of course, if tacos is not your go-to food, they also have a variety of other foods: sandwiches, pastries, breakfast burritos, bagels, smoothies, soups and of course tea and coffee.

Our favorites are: Sweet Bacon and Steak Tacos, Green Dream Smoothie, and vegan donuts!

This one is a really hard one. There are a few great sushi restaurants in Breck, and the top pick seems to vary depending on who you ask. In our view, the number one spot for overal value goes to **Mountain Flying Fish**!

Their fish is fresh, their service is impeccable, their variety is fantastic, and you will definitely have a good time if you pick Mountain Flying Fish. This is what one of their customers had to say: 

> Always fresh and delicious. Hands down best sushi in the mountains!
~ Jake Collins

Our second favorite sushi place is [Wasabi](http://www.wasabi-breckenridge.com). It is a smaller restaurant with a smaller selection, but if you can pre-book a seat there, you get the upside of a quiet and quaint experience. The owners are a sweet Japanese couple who will delight you with their creations.

There are other sushi places in town, so if you end up trying something new and you like it, please let us know!

Breckenridge is a high-altitude mountain town and the weather can change very quickly. You could be feeling hot in shorts and a t-shirt one minute, and need a winter jacket ten minutes later. This is why it is wise to check the weather forecast ahead of visiting, and to prepare accordingly.

Summers in Breck are fantastic and although it may snow all the way into June, and start to snow again in September, warm and sunny weather usually persists from April through October. In town, at a lower altitude than the mountain top, most of the snow will melt away during those months, and typically, if the sun is out, days can get between warm and really hot. What is "hot" depends less on the weather, and more on what you consider hot; whether you grew up in Texas or in Alaska. However, being at 10,000 ft in altitude, the sun here feels a lot hotter than it does elsewhere, so be sure to pack plenty of sunscreen and to apply it liberally!

If you are visiting Breck in the winter months, you are looking at the ski season that starts in early November. That is also a great time to visit because although only a few slopes open up this early, there are also very few tourists. By coming before the busy season, you will find the town quieter, and more relaxing. It is quite enjoyable really! Not to mention that it will still be fairly warm in November.

December and January are perhaps the coldest months in Breckenridge, and also the busiest. Fresh powder and the holiday season also bring in millions of tourists. Huddling like penguins might keep everyone warmer for a little white, but still, the town gets pretty cold during those months. Bundle up, pack an extra layer, make sure you have a good warm lining in your gloves. It's not just the cold that will make you shiver, it is the piercing cold winds!

By February the weather gets better. It is still snowing, and still cold, but the weather feels a lot more manageable. In March Breck will get a few good snow storms, but once they subside, the hot sun makes it really cozy and comfortable during the day. And by April, it is basically summer again!

What is the typical weather in Breckenridge, Colorado?

During the winter season, Breckenridge Ski Resort normally opens at 8:30am and closes at 4pm.

The Gondola start earlier, at 8:00 am.

Depending on the weather, not all the lifts and trails will open right away. Individual lift open and close hours will be posted near the lifts. The popular Horseshoe Bowl Tbar and Imperial Express SuperChair tend to open later in the morning, when the Ski Patrol is done with avalanche control at the peaks.

If you are coming on a busy holiday or a powder day, arrive early as parking availability is limited.

If you want to skin up the mountain, a select number of routes are available to you between 6:00am and the time the resort opens.
