Breckenridge Ski Resort seeking public comment on proposed Peak 9 improvements

BRECKENRIDGE, Colo. — Breckenridge Ski Resort is asking the public for their input as the resort aims to reduce congestion around Peak 9 and improve the experience on the mountain for beginners, among other proposed changes.

The White River National Forest is now seeking public comments on these changes to the Peak 9 area.

Under the Breckenridge Peak 9 Projects 2024 proposal , the ski resort would:

• Install a gondola on Peak 9
• Replace the existing double C-Chair lift with a high-speed six-person lift
• Create a new learning area for beginners on the Frontier trail (including two short conveyors, a ski and ride school warming hut and restroom, and increased snow-making coverage)
• Remove the A-Chair lift

The resort said this would "reduce congestion in the Peak 9 area, improve guest circulation on the mountain, provide better connectivity between Peak 8 and Peak 9, and improve the experience for beginners," according to a release from the White River National Forest office.
