COLORADO SKI COUNTRY USA FILES
INTERVENTION IN SNODGRASS APPEAL
State Trade Association Files
on Behalf 19 Public-Land Ski Areas
DENVER, Colo. - December 24, 2009 - Colorado Ski Country USA
(CSCUSA) today filed a petition to intervene in Crested Butte
Mountain Resort's (CBMR) appeal of a recent US Forest Service
decision concerning the ski area's proposed expansion onto
Snodrgass Mountain. CSCUSA filed the petition to intervene on
behalf of 19 of its member ski areas that operate on public
lands.
CSCUSA and its public-land-based members are concerned about the
Forest Service's decision to reject future lift-served skiing on
Snodgrass without conducting a public review under the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).
The petition for intervention was filed with the US Forest
Service's Regional Forester in Lakewood. It asks that the Forest
Service rescind its decision and allow public review of CBMR's plan
under NEPA.
