A citizen of a look at the Breckenridge Peak 6 expansion

When Jane Hendrix think the impact of Breckenridge Peak 6 ski resort development at its peak of 7 residence, which is concerned about congestion in the base.

Although there is no plan to develop the area of ​​the base peak 6, may have impact on the residential streets below, Hendrix said. It is the clutter in the Picos Road parking area and surrounding residential streets downhill skiing seeking access to the lifts in a less time consuming and expensive parking in the parking lot of the cable car. Hendrix said it at the expense of pushing the cross-country skiing and snowshoeing those who wish to walk the Picos Road, adding that she has had 83 cars to extend the trail from the parking of 12 spaces on residential streets.

She wonders what will happen to the streets if peak 6 is developed and more skiers are on the side of the mountain or more skiers come to Breckenridge in general.

It was a comment White River National Forest Supervisor Scott Fitzwilliams said he appreciated. On Thursday, held a peak Fitzwilliams 6 open house in the "belly of the beast" in Breckenridge, Breckenridge said City Councilman Jeffrey Bergeron.

Balancing the needs of the Breckenridge ski resort, while maintaining the national forest resources and the public interest came to a head last week that about 100 people sat in the ballroom to meet Beaver Run proposed expansion project peak of 6 – and express their concerns.

Fitzwilliams presented the project and its three chances to go ahead – the alternative of no action and a lighter version of the project and the full version of the project.

Peak 6 proposal is currently in the Draft Environmental Impact Statement stage, which Fitzwilliams said it was "midway." Public comment on the nearly 600-page assessment is an "essential process. "

Fitzwilliams announced that its preferred alternative is the second, which includes a six-person chair to the top of the mountain, a restaurant on the slope side and several clear paths between. The third alternative is a lighter version of the expansion.

"Alternative 3 meets some of those in need," said Fitzwilliams, referring to the need for complex, among other things, the middle ground and less congestion in the lift lines. "But when I see it as a collective purpose and need statements, I prefer Alternative 2.

"Breckenridge ski area is very busy. One of the busiest in the country, "he said. This project is intended to help accommodate a projected increase of 2 percent per year in skier visits and to expand the mountain of comfortable carrying capacity by 8 percent.

Another person related to the impact of Peak 6 development in mountain areas of the existing base Cospolich Jeff, who makes life on vacation rentals at the base of Peak 9.

"I'm worried about Vail Resorts pulling the energies of the town further north every year," he said, suggesting instead an increase in the ground between peaks 8 and 9 instead of horizontal development.

But Breckenridge ski resort spokeswoman Kristen Petitt said $ 18 million was invested in the village at Breckenridge project last year, including improvements in peak 9 buildings and installation of snow melting systems and better lighting.

He added that an agreement between the resort, city and county states Breckenridge Ski Resort is committed to expanding and developing no not at the base of the peak 6, unless they approached the city officials and county do so. The agreement will be signed, if the peak of 6 proposal is approved.
