BRECKENRIDGE — Breckenridge skateboarders may soon be shredding the streets legally: Town council members this week gave its staff the go-ahead to prepare rules allowing skaters on most streets.
The council expressed concerns about safety, but decided the eco-friendly transportation method might be worth a try.
“We’re going out on a limb here,” council member Jeffrey Bergeron said to three skate enthusiasts in attendance. “We hope you don’t make us look like chumps.”
About 30 skateboard supporters attended a town meeting less than a month ago, suggesting policy changes and commenting that it seemed unfair for skaters to be ticketed when bicyclists are allowed on the roads.
Colorado law allows Breckenridge Police Department to ticket people riding skateboards on town streets, but few citations have been issued in the past year.
Under new rules, skaters would likely be allowed on all streets except Colorado 9 and Main Street, as the state makes rules for the highway, and Main is heavily traveled.
The Town’s status as a home-rule community allows it to create laws for acts otherwise prohibited by the state.
Police chief Rick Holman said he plans to get feedback from the “skate community” before making suggestions for the ordinance.
He pointed out in a memo to council that unlike bicycles, skateboards don’t have brakes. A skateboarder recently lost control at an intersection and jumped off the board before it struck a car, creating a large dent.
Holman’s memo included ordinances from Steamboat Springs and Jackson Hole, Wyo., that allow for limited skateboarding.
In Steamboat Springs, skateboards and rollerskates or in-line skates are allowed on streets not heavily traveled, and riders must be equipped with reflectors or lights from dusk until dawn.
Holman said the Breckenridge Police Department doesn’t support allowing skateboarding on the town streets.
“For me, safety concerns for both the skateboarder and the motorists on the road outweigh the transportation benefits achieved by a select few,” he said in the memo.
No other Summit County communities are considering allowing skateboards on their streets, he said Tuesday.
Concerns were raised at the meeting regarding skaters losing control on the steep roads leading west to Main Street.
“There’s a lot of road needed to check (their) speed,” Mayor John Warner said.
Council member Dave Rossi said he lived in San Francisco for several years, and skateboarding was legal and the riders were able to maintain control even on steep streets.
Town attorney Tim Berry said the town will need to make signs alerting visitors to skateboards on the streets.
Council members Jennifer McAtamney and Eric Mamula were not present for Tuesday’s discussion.

Breckenridge has had non-stop snow for the last day and half. Isn't it May? Didn't I just see tons of people out the other day on bikes and running? That's what i love about the mountains biking one day and skiing the next. Plenty more skiing at A Basin. There reporting 6 inches in the last 24 hours. Check out the picture of the deck at Main Street Station in Breckenridge. You can't even see the resort right behind it!
I think I am just now recovering from the beer fest. The beer fest was five days ago! There was over 1,000 people there drinking and dancing for hours. The Railbenders put on an awesome I even saw some kid (25 year old kid) in the train that was making laps around the Main Street Station Plaza! Too funny. I think alot of people took advantage of ResortQuest's killer lodging packages. That way everyone gets to have fun. Anyways check out the pictures and hopefully i will see you at the next Breckenridge Beer Festival on July 19th.

People are waxing skis, sharpening edges and tightening bindings. The recent wet weather has outdoor enthusiasts “juiced” for the upcoming winter season. Jeans Westerner Service Manager Eric Barningham is excited too. He has seen a steady stream of customers recently. They are looking at new snowboards, buying jackets and dusting off old equipment.

A proposed ski area northwest of this historic mining town met some resistance Wednesday when county planners declined to support a rezoning request for the site near St. Mary's Glacier. An investor group led by Michael Coors, a descendant of the founder of the Golden brewery empire, wants to open Eclipse Snow Park on about 300 acres of land that must be rezoned for commercial outdoor recreation.
Breckenridge, Colorado – October 4, 2006. Breckenridge has done it again. SKI Magazine just announced the results of their annual resort ranking reader's poll and Breckenridge held strong with a #6 “Overall Best Resort” ranking again last year.
“With a base elevation of 9,600 feet, Breckenridge starts where most resorts end”, SKI Magazine. Although aided by an above average elevation and assisted by below average temperatures and reliable snow conditions, the results represent a major accomplishment for both the town and the Vail Resorts-run resort. Long-esteemed for being on the cutting-edge of the snowboard scene, Breckenridge has struggled against a reputation for being a “beginner’s hill”, with a severe lack of steep, expert terrain.
However, the 2005 – 2006 season saw the birth of the Peak 8 summit lift – The Imperial Chair – which opened up over 400 acres of previously hike-to-only, double-black, expert terrain. Topping out at a massive 12,840 feet altitude, the Imperial Chair ranks as the highest chairlift in North America and gave credibility to Breckenridge’s mountain stats.
“As the highest lift in North America, accessing some of Breckenridge’s most amazing intermediate and expert terrain, this lift is the crowning touch on an already fabulous resort,” Roger McCarthy, chief operating officer for Breckenridge Ski Resort.
In 2007 the resort plans to open the “Breck Connect” gondola, the first gondola in the history of the resort, which will transport skiers and riders from the downtown skier lots to the base of Peaks 7 & 8. With new developments by Vail Resorts Development Group and Gold Point Development slated to break ground at the Peak 7 & 8 base areas in the summer of 2007, the gondola is seen as a drastic improvement to the overall Breckenridge skier experience.
