- Ski The Windows (Window #1) on Peak 9 at Breckenridge Colorado with Breckenridge Ski School Instructor Ted Amenta, available for private ski and snowboard lessons upon request.
Visit www.amenta.com/... for more information about private ski & snowboard lessons with Ted.
The Windows on the north side of Peak 9 at Breckenridge Colorado have some of the best expert, double black diamond, tree skiing anywhere. Being north facing and shaded by trees, snow conditions stay fresh in The Windows longer than just about anyplace else on the mountain. Just make sure not to fall in the creek on the way back to E-Chair!
Ted Amenta is also a Summit County Real Estate Broker. Visit www.amenta.com/ for full listing details for all Breckenridge Real Estate listings.

I’m not a skier of myself, but I snowboard. I have to say this is quite a smooth video to watch
Im a predominant snowboarder and recently picked up skiing as well. I highly recommend trying skiing its amazing to go back to being a beginner again!
One of the best tree-skiing vids I've ever seen -- and THANK YOU for not drowning out the real sounds with "music"!!!! Now I want to go back to Breckenridge -- that was my first Western ski trip after starting (at age 40, 26 years ago); lately Aspen is my favorite, but those runs look wonderful! I'll look for you in 2020.
jamesbachreeves: You’ve got to be kidding. You need to do a little more searching.
@@mrsmartypants_1 shhhhh let it be, more for you and me
Thomas H: Ha Ha. Yeah you’re right.
I'm a snowboarder and even I'm impressed with your skills here. I held my breath during the Rick's Runout part. If I lived out west I'd def take you up on your offer to learn how to ski.
It sounds icy but if you look you can tell it’s just the sounds of his amazing turning
I think what keeps you from speeding up are your balls of steel. I was nervous your whole way down on that trail
How would this even make sense. More mass x gravity = more speed
q s1 I think it is meant as a joke
@@mikem302 r/woosh
q s1 thats not how physics works
They tend to open windows as soon as they possibly can at breck. It has exposed tree branches and dirt when they first open it, but on a nice day in spring it’s by far my favorite run on the mountain
This run is really fun on a pow day through the trees although once you get to the trees it's a fine line between keeping speed to not get stuck and hugging a tree with a face.
Windows above my skill level. Amazing how much speed control you have. Very enjoyable video.
Trees do not move. A very challenging run.
Great job skiing that. You know what your doing. That area is amazing, so well spread out.
Impressive riding! Might have to give it a shot next time we're at Breck!
One of the more difficult glade runs that I have ever seen on video. No way out once committed. Scraped and bumpy.......I may have to pass on that run.
I'm not a good skier in moguls, but me and the kids just had a blast in ALL the Windows' trails. Love Breck!
When I was in Breck windows was my favorite run! But we had a bit of pow then lol. Also stayed in the trees
One of my favorite to ski solo/partner windows #1 and Rick's Runout. ty for posting!
Perfect camera positioning, and smooth skiing too
conditions don't look great but you NAILED that
You made that look so easy through the camera. Wish I knew how to control my speed so nicely, I just feel out of control on those types of double blacks.
Nice form with some great morning spring conditions. That was a good snow year. It was bony in the Windows last year 2019-2020.
Windows is no joke man. Its a real test of ability.
Sup Ted can't believe you are still there, give and move to Florida like the rest of us!
Ha! In my retirement years, maybe. But for now, I still have plenty of skiing left to do!
nice & smooth.. never lost your breathe!
Great videos! Really fun to watch.
That’s the kinda trail I took my biggest fall on, if I’m not mistaken it was at Keystone. The trees just kept getting thicker and closer together and the track narrower. I caught a tip, my feet ended up above me, I was on my back like turtle and sliding down the hill. I clipped a couple of trees and then finally got hold of a small sapling to arrest myself. I lost one ski about 100+ yards uphill and was rescued by another skier after trudging halfway back up the slope. Now days I make sure I know the terrain, by talking to others about how densely it is forested before getting into deep. After all I’m not bad, but no expert, I’m after all from the flatlands of Kansas and ski maybe every other year. 😎
Be there on that trail in about five weeks. Nice Spring conditions for this video. Hope to get the same.
That was super nice to watch mate! I dunno it was just relaxing and intense at the same time.
I’m not a skier my self I am a intermediate snowboarder but I am trying to learn to ski again so I can go through trees easier for the next time I go to breck
Well done. That looks fun. You video makes me want to go there.
Great skiing! Planning a trip out here in March so I wanted to check out some trails and get hypeddd
Nice! That looks super fun and reminds me a lot of Crested Butte’s forest, another one of my favorites.
Was wondering the name of the runout. We did Windows 4 times over MLK weekend - dad and 2 kids (16, 21) - all expert skiers. It was our favorite run, but a word of caution to counter many of the comments minimizing the difficulty and hazards. This is a true double black for the following reasons: it's technical - tight turns in trees, irregular bumps throughout, exposed roots and rocks, holes that drop you into a running creek or onto exposed rocks. Double black is more than steeps. More than most runs, a misstep in Windows will hurt. However, if you have the necessary skills, you'll likely love it and come back for more.
The runout is "Rick's runout" I skied the lower portion of it near the creek in this video. I could have started traversing right a little sooner, higher up on the hill, also.
Great video, thanks. Will be in Breckenridge Jan 2022.
My legs are burning just watching this.
You're an excellent skier! I plan to take the kids out to Breckenridge sometime later this year, maybe you could teach them a thing or two!
I'd be happy to! For this season at least, I am trying to keep a calendar current with my availability linked from this page:

Thanks for the awesome account! Got to hit windows for the first time earlier today after seeing this video.
wonderful indeed. BTW, what is the name of these trees? Kindly enlighten. Thanks. Best regards, Nassa
You closed the deal on that run.Looks very rewarding.
Great video! Good for mental rehearsal for the physical movement as well as picking the best place to turn. If I was in Break, I could spend all day in Windows. If it was a powder day :)
Now that's a real double black run. Gnarly bumps and close trees: not easy. Great speed control there on the hard bumps. Deep knee bends are working for you.
camgreer if you ever go to breck, try our needles eye, it is fun steep thin trees with some bumps if you want
@@projecteer4498 That sounds fun, and I would love to get down there. I have a friend in Dillon who has extended an invitation. I ski Alyeska and we don't have much tree skiing, but the North Face is plenty steep. Keep yer tips up.
Thank you for putting together these guide videos Ted! They are super helpful as I'll be coming to Breckenridge soon. I'd like to see that website updated though. It's a bit hard to navigate on mobile devices.
Thanks Pasindu! Do you know any good web designers? I did the site myself. But trying to keep up with up-to-date design got away from me. And search engines changed their algos to favor big / national real estate sites. It is hard for a little guy to compete. But now that this channel is generating some traffic to the site again, I intend to get it updated this summer.
@@BreckSnowPro Hi Ted, I appreciate your attitude of wanting to keep providing better experiences for your audience. I do happen to a web designer by trade and would love to offer my services if you are interested. If you are, let me know the best way to reach you and we can chat. I will also be in Breckenridge next week in case that provides you with any convenience.

@@BreckSnowPro Sent you an email! :)
Next time I go to Breckinridge I am going to have to do that run
I wasn't aware of this run and took it rather by accident. Not easy but beautiful to ski
I would have looked like a pinball going down that
Great vid, what skis are you riding? I'm coming out to Breckenridge this winter, and I'm wondering if my Rossi 88's will suffice.
I'm usually on an E88 myself and think it is a great all mountain ski in all but deep powder conditions. On those days, I like something wider under foot.
Super impressive. The gap between the trees sometimes seems so narrow there's just no way you're gonna fit through there! But is it the camera? Or are you that skinny?
Not really :-) I'll get the camera turned on myself one of these days. Trees seem to come out well on camera. Videos of steeps look less steep than they feel. And everything looks faster on film than it seems skiing.
Im not a skier but I always read in the news about someone running into a tree while skiing.. after watching this video I dont understand how it even happens... you have a good 3 inches between your head and those trees and also the trees look pretty soft if you would hit one.. not like a walnut tree or something... Im heading out west soon and im going to do Windows first for sure.
He was skiing with great control through those trees, it's harder than it looks. The news may have also been covering a tree well, which is usually in deeper snow in the trees, and they are hard to escape if you get trapped.
If your not a skier you will never make it out lol
Harry Carrey if your not a skier than you shouldn’t just show up and ski a double black diamond. I’ve skied windows a lot and I lose control occasionally
Also trees are hard af
My son is now a Jr. in college in his home state of Wi.
He skied varsity downhill in high school.
His uncle was born and raised in Boulder Colorado.
My sister, a harpist graduate from the Eastman School of Music, the uncle, Dr. of Cello from Northwestern university married an have lived in Boulder the last forty years. He recently retired after 34yrs with the Denver Symphony and 25yrs with the Central City Opera Orchestra. My sister was the harp faculty at the University of Denver and first call union harpist in the Denver area. They are both 70 and are still skiing in the Rockies at many of the world's iconic ski areas just minutes from Boulder.
They invited him to go skiing in the area when he was a high school senior. He had never skied out West. He skied with his cousin. The problem is that my son, since birth, has had no physical fear!! So there they were, skiing the black diamond AND double diamond runs. That seemed to go fine (we have video). So on the second day his cousin suggested they ski the "glades" (as shown in this video) through the trees.
Seems everything was going well (more video). Then apparently a tree branch stepped out in front of him and whacked him across his right shoulder and chest (we have the photos) raising blood blisters and bruises (he survived). The next day back out on the slopes and into the glades again (told you, no fear......or just dumb(?).
He had a blast skiing the through trees that had no packed paths as seen in this video, all powder. I hope he'll have his own kids someday!
favorite run. can you do more windows?
Yes...I will almost certainly get more Windows videos shot this season...if the snow remains good for it. So far, this season has been a good one.
The difficulty rating is all relevant to the resort a double in whistler is gonna be different than a double here
wicked trails.. doesn't it hurt the tip of your toes or ur feet from the moguls? Mine do. im not that good of a skier though..
Rick's Runout looks tough!
Very cool video - but is the double black rating accurate? I would have guessed that to be a single black.
GoPro makes it look not steep I guess you could say.
I know this place...its out of bounds... A fun way to make you think fast.
If I can ski double blacks at gore mt do you think I could ski this?
I’d like to think I’d be okay there... but truth is you are a god and I would likely die going down this path 😂
Could you show us the Whale’s Tail?
Those are double blacks? What's the slope angle??
Looks like a few skiers were there ahead of you.
How is this compared to needles eye? It seems like needles eye is overall harder but you have more room to find the easiest way down
Spam Account?! OK... The Windows is a big area. The line I took here is easier than anything in Needles Eye. As a general statement, for the most part, Needles Eye is steeper and more densely treed than The Windows.
How is the Wanderlust catwalk over to 6? Wouldn't mind seeing!
Someone else asked for The Dunes and I will do them both the same day...hopefully soon. I expect that it is skiing well now and for the rest of the week at least.
can you ski corbet's couloir because I am eight years old and I have done it
Wow he made that look very easy. I cant control my speed like that.
Great video! What's the easiest double black down the north side of 9?
@Ryan Hagen - None are really "easy", but Inferno might be a good one to start with. You can see most of them riding E Chair.
@@BreckSnowPro Thanks! We'll check it out time we're out there.
What are the runs you take people on to get to a double black
I'll make sure people are comfortable on single blacks, then take them up Imperial Chair and let them see Imperial Bowl up close. If they don't feel good about it, we will take Imperial Ridge down.
Have you done Blitz bowl yet? If not can you do that one
Do you mean "Bliss" on Peak 6? If so, yes and I will look for it.
Window #5 is my favorite window.
I’m unfamiliar with Peak 6. Can you video some runs on Peak 6. Much appreciated.
I'll shoot more this coming season but there are currently eight Peak 6 videos in the Peak 6 playlist.
Is it always this icy in Breck?
Dude is making love to the air at 5:50. Niiiiiice!
Nice vid since I’m now 13 I’ve been looking for harder stuff to ski at Breckenridge
Im the same age and all i can do is the top of peak six lol i ski by my house in wisconsin lol
I live in Illinois but I go up there to ski like 3 or 4 times but I skied since I was 2 my favorite run is the whales tale
@@mrbrody2772 same here and ive really only done an area between serenity bowl and bliss as the hardest ive done
Have you done a breck double black before
@@mrbrody2772 no they seem soo hard lol
What is the best entrance on windows?
Recommendations on ski lessons at winter park?
I don't have any contacts there and don't know what their product offerings are. But I have to expect that they will offer private lessons this season, which I would recommend, and I suggest that you ask for someone who is PSIA Level III certified, which is known in the industry as a "Full Cert".
@@BreckSnowPro thank you!
You still doing private coaching?
Yes, I will be this coming winter. Visit BreckSnowPro.com for my contact info. I'm starting to put a list together of those who want to be notified when we can start making reservations.
Sweet ! Nothing I d rather be riding than tight icy moguled trees with a long flat runout.....
Breck needs to get in a lot of these areas and clear out a lot of the smaller trees. So much of their tree skiing is this crappy tight stuff that isn't good
Does the E Chair access Little Burn?
Yes
in what world is this expert
This looks soooooooo fun
I'd love to ski with nobody around but me and my friend
great video cool trail
Amazing video :)
How is this a double black. Ever skied trees on the east coast?
Where is Narnia Tree section
It a fun and hard run
I recommend it
Do u have a top to bottom vid
Yes, look in the play list for Peak 8.
@@BreckSnowPro great thx
How do I get lessons from you for next year
Visit www.BreckSnowPro.com, I'll keep booking details posted there. Thanks for asking!
Should my family of 6 be in a different class if we choose you but we are different levels
@Quinn Boudreaux Perhaps. I need to keep the least skilled people in a group on terrain, and moving at a pace, that is appropriate for their ability. But, you can also move me between different members of your group at different times during the day. If you want a second instructor, I can recommend one.
TH-cam messages like this often do not show up in my notifications. If you would like to continue this correspondence, please visit www.BreckSnowPro.com for my contact info. Thanks!
Wow, even with the GoPro angle, it looks so steep. It should not be a double black. It should be an EX.
Smh how is this a double black? In Jackson hole it’s a blue
This is a green at Snowbird.
You make it look easy and we all know this is very very hard..
Good old Colorado ice 🧊😬
I ask my self how the heck is this a double black diamond 😂
awesome s go pros make it seem less steep
awesome go do it !!!
Abu Vids your like 10, you probably only ski blue open runs😂
Nico Kellerman probably greens
if you can ski down a double black forest terrain without powder as smooth as this guy did then i'll shut up but i'd like to see you try this. even after 3 years of snowboarding doing trails like this for me at least is still quite nerve wracking. like the first replied said, go pros lens make runs look less steep than they actually are
OMG....I would have hit a tree and died. Thanks for posting!
Coming to realize I ski trees like a maniac
You should do whales tail and zoot chute
Try doing windows 3 after a snowstorm and you will get fresh tracks the entire time I got 3 feet of powder back there.
What's up Ted
Hello Niwar!
this is just am EXTRAORDINARILY narrow green trail with a shit load of trees
Such a fun video! I also make videos Skiing and snowboarding, check it out! I have never been to Breckenridge looks sweet!
sounded crunchy any icy
Excellent vid, gave you a like ^‿^
This is a double black? 😂😂😂
OJ Derrick fr fr that was barely a black😂
It’s cause it’s Breck😂😂
The camera makes everything look way, way less steep than it is
the go-pro effect
Jon N. Not really
