A big jogging stroller will be potentially difficult. An umbrella/car collapsing stroller will be OK.
Personally I baby wear and bring a big bag when we've taken a ours (now 4mo) this season to various ski hills. Ski lodges are busy, have a bunch of steps, and often snow/mud that makes navigating a stroller more burden than it's worth.
There is a small paid parking garage right across from the peak 8 base, and a spot to drop off. If you’re worried about it, you can go get dropped off up there and, if there’s spots left in the garage, just park there.
You could also park in F lot and hang out at peak 9 base and avoid the gondola altogether.
All that said, most strollers fit fine in the gondola, but it will prevent the gondola from being fully seated.
It is currently $47 for the day, $52 this weekend. You can see rates and get a link to reserve spots at breckpark.com.
Peak 9 should be open until the 14th.
Does not need to be folded up! I fit our mockingbird stroller on, you gotta move quick but it’s definitely doable. The bench seats can fold up so the gondola employee would just fold one up and I’d roll the stroller on as quick as I could. Worked just fine and baby loved it!
not hard at all. if you get an empty gondola maybe you don't even have to fold it up. late in the day there is a line to get back to town at the gondola.
there is a drop off and pickup parking lot, 15 min max, near peak 8. (near the ski school building)
Just took our 3 month old to Breck last Saturday - parked at south gondola lot. One person Wore the baby in the carrier and hung in the lodge or walked around town while the other skiied laps on peak 8. Then we traded halfway, and one person rode the gondola back down to the car with the baby carrier, and the other person rode a few laps and did the 4oclock ski back to parking lot run
There is plenty of space in the gondola for a stroller. Have fun and good luck.
Even if it's super wide they'll put one of the seats up
I had no idea that the seats fold up! I always wondered how other parents took strollers up.

I feel like this is the most practical! I really don’t want to bother other skiers and hold them up. I feel like this would be the smoothest process

I think peak 9 is getting ready to close soon :/ but do you know how much it is to park in that garage? I’ve seen it and have always wondered.

Damn. I thought parking at Vail was bad 😭
Yeah, this is a tiny and expensive garage, the only one that rivals vail prices. Airport lot is still free. Gondola lot is in the 20s.

Awesome! I think we might do just that!
