Editor’s Note: This article has been updated to list the beneficiary of the Peak 10 Classic.

Every Fourth of July skiers and riders hike up Breckenridge’s Peak 10 in order to enjoy some summer turns in the acclaimed Fourth of July Bowl.

Skiers and riders are planning to embark in the annual tradition again this year, but the event will look a little bit different.

On Sunday, June 30, event organizers announced on its social media channels that with the goals of resource protection, traffic management and participant safety in mind, this year’s Peak 10 Classic will be operating under a non-commercial, special-use permit from the U.S. Forest Service.

“The only thing that’s inevitable in life is change,” event organizers wrote in their social media post. “We will all remember the grass-roots days of the classic, but we hope the community can understand and recognize that the changes this year are in the best interest of sustainability and longevity of the Peak 10 Classic and protecting our natural resources.”

Due to the permit, parking and camping will not be permitted within the Breckenridge Ski Resort permit area, but parking will be free at Beaver Run on a first-come, first-served basis. To help get people to the The Overlook on Peak 9, Summit Express will be operating a free shuttle bus from the Beaver Run parking lot to The Overlook.

The first shuttle up to The Overlook will be at 6:30 a.m. with the last shuttle down at 4 p.m.

Alternative transportation, such as bikes, are encouraged. Parking will be available at The Overlook for all alternative vehicles. Those that are wanting to camp outside of the Breckenridge Ski Resort permit area are being asked to respect the U.S. Forest Services dispersed camping rules.

The Peak 10 Classic reminds participants that the hike from The Overlook to the bowl is 2-miles long with 1,200 feet of elevation gain. All skiers and snowboarders should come prepared with food, water, warm layers, ski and snowboard gear and a backpack that can comfortably carry all of the gear.

An after party will take place at Broken Compass Brewing off of Airport Road in Breckenridge from 4 p.m. to close.

The event raises funds for SOS Outreach based out of Edwards. Donations are being accepted through the Peak 10 Classic Instagram page, the SOS Outreach Venmo and on the SOS Outreach website.

People can also visit one of three supporting breweries – Angry James, Breckenridge Brewery and Broken Compass — to purchase a t-shirt and the Peak 10 Classic Beer. Proceeds from beer and t-shirt sales will also go to SOS Outreach.
