Colorado s ski areas expand their terrain, offering a backcountry light experience to attract more aggressive snow enthusiasts.

Keystone - Hoping to give skiers and snowboarders an experience out of a Warren Miller ski movie - minus the avalanche danger - Colorado resorts increasingly are expanding into previously off-limits areas.

Dubbed "backcountry light," the new terrain, accessed by Sno-Cat and ski lift, resembles the off-piste experience of European ski resorts, with natural conditions and steeper slopes than traditionally found within ski-area boundaries.

"More and more people want to go into the backcountry but don't necessarily want to take the full ... gear," said Roger McCarthy, head of Breckenridge and Keystone ski areas, both of which are expanding their backcountry terrain this winter. "I think we'll just continue to see that grow."

BRECKENRIDGE — Vail Resorts Wednesday announced a passel of new parking options for visitors at Breckenridge and Keystone, including a $99 locals season parking pass.

The changes are aimed to ease the pain of the transition to paid parking at the Miners and Tailings lots, closest to the new BreckConnect Gondola.

As expected, the resort will begin charging $10 per day for parking at those two lots as soon as the Gondola opens, foreseeably early this season. While the new gondola terminal and other base-area buildings will eat up about 150 spots, the resort will replace them with free spots in the Gold Rush parking lot, according to resort spokesperson Nicky DeFord.

DeFord said the array of season parking passes marks the biggest change from last season. The parking plan features daily, weekday and transferable passes, as well as several free lots withing walking distance of the gondola.

Breckenridge town officials said they will watch closely to see if the change from free to pay parking at the lots near the gondola has any effect on nearby retail and residential areas, said town manager Tim Gagen.
