SUMMIT COUNTY – An open house to present plans for new lifts and trails on Peak 6 at Breckenridge will not be held in January as previously announced by the U.S. Forest Service. No new date for the meeting and the start of the formal Forest Service review process has been announced yet.
The Forest Service is set to begin evaluating a ski area proposal to add 450 acres of traditional downhill and hike-to skiing accessed by a single lift on Peak 6. According to a press release issued last month, the agency will do a full-blown Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), the highest level of environmental review, for the project.
Plans for a new lift and 450 acres of terrain on Peak 6 at Breckenridge were formally on the table back in November. The proposal includes the development of new terrain and associated infrastructure at Peak 6. The project encompasses 450 acres of traditional downhill and hike-to skiing accessed by a single lift. About six trails totaling 67 acres would be clear-cut below timberline. An additional 285 acres including intermediate, advanced-intermediate and expert skiing terrain would be above timberline and lift-served. Breckenridge Ski Resort also proposes to construct a top terminal ski patrol and warming hut and a bottom terminal food and beverage facility.
“Breckenridge accommodates more visitors per acre than other surrounding ski areas”. If you would like to make a comemnt or voice your concern you can do so.
Comments should be sent by mail to Forest Supervisor Maribeth Gustafson, c/o Roger Poirier, Winter Sports Program Manager, P.O. Box 948, Glenwood Springs, CO 81602-0948. Comments can also be e-mailed to: wrnf_scoping_comments@fs.fed.us.
