Breckenridge Ski Resort: Peak 6 Expansion ready next season (2013-2014)

The addition of Peak 6 is scheduled for completion by next season. Here’s the package the Breck Ski Area will deliver to its mountain fans, at the start of the 2013-2014 season:

·        Five new high-alpine bowls

·        543-acre expansion, adding a 5^th mountain to the resort

·        23% increase in skiable terrain

·        Within boundaries, ten new-cut trails

·        13 new runs above treeline

·        Four-person chair

·        Detachable 6-person lift from Peak 7

·        Warming hut at top of mountain

·        Restroom facility at the mid-load station

Project approval was not a slam-dunk, but was hard won, due to pushback from a community loathe to see acres of healthy trees cut in a forest already devastated by pine beetle epidemic. For some, the approval from the U.S. Forest Service of expanded terrain was reason to celebrate. But for others, the potential harm expected to forest and wildlife in the area was reason to protest.  In the end, it was a big win for the resort, and will be the first expansion in more than a decade.
