This season is an exciting one here in Breckenridge. New this year, Breckenridge Ski Resort  and the Town of Breckenridge boasts a new Gondola that will transform the way visitors access the town and mountain and starts the first of two new base villages at Peak 7 and 8. Breckenridge's Gondola will debut  in December 2006, and will set a new standard in the role of mass transit in growth and development.  The gondola represents a unification of the community as the public and private entities work together to build an environmentally progressive resort transit system that also creates a streamlined link to transport large numbers of visitors between the town and the ski resort’s Peaks 7 and 8. Environmental vigilance was vital in this project with more than 20,375 gallons of fuel saved each season from a decrease in resort-run busses. In addition, as part of the agreement with the Town of Breckenridge that included $6.7 million contribution from the town to build the gondola, Breckenridge Ski Resort dedicated 64.7 acres of prime development land to the town for conservation and open space. The gondola will significantly decrease traffic volumes and increase the number of visitors to the special Breckenridge downtown, the largest historic district in Colorado as people move back and forth between the two places.  Bringing together the two pieces that continually put Breckenridge in the top three most popular winter destinations, the gondola enables the town and resort to strike the ideal balance that maintains the character and vibrancy of Breckenridge’s Main Street and Downtown.
