Currently closed on weekdays for maintenance until 7/13/24. Will be open on the weekends until then. One Way Only: This is designated as a directional trail.

Overview

Expert-only downhill trail and maybe the best in Breckenridge. It's been updated with new, burly features as of summer 2024.

Need to Know

This is a downhill specific directional trail.

Description

In August of 2018, the Town of Breckenridge completed a reroute of Hard Luck, transforming a steep mining road into a flow trail. The trail is downhill only. Hard Luck begins at the east end of Fall Classic Trail. The trail features jumps, gaps, flowy berms, and alternative lines, and is a downhill delight.

Intersect Preston Way at the trail midpoint, cross and descend a section of mining road to the continuation of Hard Luck on the right side of the road. Dive into the forest briefly, then cross Gold Run Road and continue downhill through more trail features to the Upper Flume Trail.
