[edit] NPOV

The section talking about the ownership of the mountain seems quite biased against the resort. I don't know the situation there. Anyone care to rewrite it, or at least clean it up? Adagio 18:36, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

The said issue is pretty much irrelevant to the resort itself. Mainly because it is not an issue exclusive to Beaver Creek or its Vail Resorts owners. The majority of ski areas in Colorado (and the rest of the country for that matter) operate under similar agreements with the US Forest Service. Vail has been the center of controversy among environmentalists groups due to the impact ski resorts have on natural habitats. The recent controversy was fueled buy Vail choosing to expand the ski area. While area expansion is not a new concept or exclusive to Vail Resorts, they received more attention due to the high profile the large company naturally has. I suspect that the opinion of person who wrote the disputed connect stems from this particular controversy. I'm going to remove the questionable content because it is not suitable for this particular article. It may have a place elsewhere, but not here.
