Skiers slide down the slopes to the Bergenhof Bar and Restaurant. The restaurant opened the day before the first official opening of the Breckenridge ski area on December 16, with a party to mark the start of the 1961 season. It was one of three original buildings that made up the Peak 8 base area facilities. It was demolished in 2013.
