About Whale's Tail, Breckenridge

Whale's Tail, perched at 12,998 feet between Peak 7 and Peak 8 at Breckenridge Ski Resort, stands as one of Colorado's most exhilarating expert runs. This double-black diamond terrain features a dramatic ridgeline entrance with wind-loaded cornices, opening into wide-open powder bowls where advanced skiers and snowboarders carve their own lines through untouched snow. Unlike groomed trails, Whale's Tail offers true big-mountain freeride experience within resort boundaries—requiring confident navigation, powder skills, and respect for high-alpine conditions. The panoramic views from the ridge reveal endless peaks stretching across Summit County, while the descent delivers the pure freedom of wide-open alpine terrain. Known for collecting deep powder in storms and maintaining cold snow due to elevation and north-facing exposure, Whale's Tail represents Breckenridge's commitment to expert terrain and backcountry-style skiing. This run isn't just a trail—it's a rite of passage for serious Colorado skiers.
