Breckenridge Ski Resort expansion appealed

The decision by the U.S. Forest Service to approve the Peak 6 expansion at Breckenridge Ski Resort has received two appeals and endorsements by 45 individuals and environmental groups.

The Forest Service has 45 days from today to submit a final written decision on the expansion.

The first appeal was submitted by Rocky Smith, a forest policy consultant previously employed by Rocky Mountain Wild with more than 45 people in support, many representing local and regional environmental groups and Breckenridge citizens opposed to the expansion.
