BRECKENRIDGE, COLO – April 12, 2013 —Breckenridge Ski Resort announced today, in conjunction with the Breckenridge Resort Chamber and the Town of Breckenridge, that Breck has been selected to host the 2014 Mountain Travel Symposium next season, set to take place April 10-16, 2014.

“Thanks to a combined bid effort between the Breckenridge Ski Resort, the Breck Resort Chamber, Beaver Run Resort, and the Town of Breckenridge, we are happy to announce that Breck has won the right to host the Mountain Travel Symposium for the first time since the early 1980s,” said Kieran Cain, Director of Marketing & Sales for Breckenridge Ski Resort.
