Torchlight Parade on Peak 9

This is tradition at its finest. The annual Torchlight Parade on Peak 9 is a “must see” if you’re in town for New Year’s Eve. The Breckenridge Ski & Snowboard School will be hosting their annual New Year’s Eve Torchlight Parade on Peak 9 at 6pm, which features skiers holding bright red torches, while skiing over one-thousand vertical feet down to create a Christmas Tree path of lights twinkling bright on the mountain. An hour before the Torchlight Parade, kids are invited to participate in the Glow Worm Parade if they are able to ski/ride a green run on their own.

The best place to view the Torchlight Parade is from Beaver Run or The Maggie at the base of Peak 9. The parade will travel down Sundown, to Lower American, to Silverthorne. Parade will start at approximately 6 PM. Stick around to celebrate the New Year with fireworks shooting off from the base of Peak 9 starting at 9:30 PM.
