KEYSTONE, Colo.—The U.S. Forest Service has accepted Arapahoe Basin Ski Area’s master plan upgrades, including lift skiing in The Beavers backcountry area.

The long-term development plan accepted Wednesday includes skiing in the dangerous steeps beyond the resort’s operating boundary. The plan would add more than 400 backcountry acres served by lifts.
