Currently the Peak 6 area is popular for backcountry skiers as it is easy to get to from either Breckenridge or Frisco for locals and is in a relatively gentle terrain area – very suitable for Summit County locals to enjoy the backcountry. The type of terrain coupled with its close proximity to the base area on Peak 7 and the newer mountain real estate development consisting of upscale condominiums could be one of the driving forces for the decision to expand into Peak 6. Although others may enjoy the new terrain due to it being close by and easy to access such as those with property and homes on Peak 8 in Breckenridge.

Even down valley in Frisco Colorado there are those that are very interested in the outcome of the Peak 6 expansion due to their usage of that area and their close proximity from their Frisco Homes and condos to Breckenridge. In fact, there is now a task force in place to meet and discuss the social and environmental issues of concern to Summit County citizens; even those as far away from Breckenridge as Frisco locals and Dillon town members too.

These plans are nothing new and have been in the works for some time and only recently have been brought up in detail. In fact, in 2002 the Peak 6 area was already allocated to become a lift-served resort for skiing! It is just now that the local population in Summit County (Breckenridge, Frisco, Dillon and the rest) have become more interested due to a higher interest to expand into the Peak 6 area to help offer amenities to the new real estate base area on Peak 7.

Some of the plans for the expansion include a new lift as well as hike to skiing, a ski patrol hut and a base area warming hut/restaurant. All on Peak 6 and all encompassing about 450 acres that will contain about 6 trails with around 67 acres of clear cut below timberline to create the new trails with much of the expert skiing and hike to skiing being above timberline.

No matter what your interest are or questions are, we can help. I have been enjoying all the Summit County area has to offer for over 20 years now and active in local mountain real estate for over 14 of those 20 years - feel free to put my experience and knowledge to work for you.
