Description

Swinger runs from the top of the chair to the base of Peak 8 at the Breckenridge Ski Resort. Take the first road branching off the south side of the trail. Ride this road across the Spruce Ski trail, and into the trees on the south side of the trail. Swinger is the first downhill on the left (east) side of the road.

Swinger merges with, then later diverges from with Pioneer. Stay left at these two junctions.

Two miles into the descent Swinger crosses an access road. In a mile further, Swinger merges with Dwight's, Game Trail, and the Peaks Connect trail. Stay right and descend to the base of Peak 8, or go left onto Peaks Connect to access the Peaks Trail, or the Independence Superchair.
