The Six Senses Traverse Map

When you get to the top of Peak 6 you have two options: you can either go skiers' left or right. If you go skiers' right, you get to some of Breckenridge's most difficult extreme terrain. After traversing a bit down the ridge-line, you get to Serenity Bowl which is a harder version of Beyond Bowl, Eventually you'll see a sign that marks the beginning of the Six Senses. This is where The Six Senses Traverse begins. The Six Senses are arguably Breckenridge's hardest above treeline/alpine extreme runs.

Description

In general, ESP and Savor are the easiest runs (as they have the least cliff exposure). Whiff is easily the toughest line here and arguably the hardest in Breckenridge, and Contact + Tighty Whitey, Echo, and Behold are very tough, but not as difficult as Whiff. As soon as you enter the gate, you'll traverse at a slight incline above and around a cliff. Eventually the ridge will start to slope uphill and at the very top of the ridge is ESP which is the last of The Six Senses. This marks the end of The Six Senses Traverse.
