  • ASPEN MOUNTAIN Master Development Plan
    ASPEN MOUNTAIN Master Development 2018 PlanDraft This is the final draft of the Aspen Mt Ski Area Master Development Plan submitted to the Forest Service by Aspen Skiing Company 1/8/2018. A publication quality document will be produced with final formatting and technical editing. II. DESIGN CRITERIA Establishing design criteria is an important component in mountain planning. Following is an overview of the basic design criteria upon which the Aspen Mountain MDP is based. A. DESTINATION RESORTS One common characteristic of destination resorts is that they cater to a significant vacation market and thus offer the types of services and amenities vacationers expect. At the same time, some components of the destination resort are designed specifically with the day-use guest in mind. Additionally, the employment, housing, and community services for both full-time and second-home residents created by destination resorts all encourage the development of a vital and balanced community. This interrelationship is helpful to the long-term success of the destination resort. Destination mountain resorts can be broadly defined by the visitation they attract, which is, in most instances, either regional or national/international. Within these categories are resorts that are purpose-built and others that are within, or adjacent to, existing communities. Aspen Mountain and the adjacent City of Aspen is an example of such a resort that exists adjacent to an existing community that is rich in cultural history, and provides a destination guest with a sense of the Mountain West and the mining and ski history of Colorado. This combination of a desirable setting and history supplements the overall experience of a guest visiting Aspen Mountain, which has become a regional, national, and international destination resort.

  • The Evolution of Ski Resort Sustainability: from On-Mountain Efficiency to Environmental Activism by Kate M. Prendergast Departm
    The Evolution of Ski Resort Sustainability: From On-Mountain Efficiency to Environmental Activism By Kate M. Prendergast Department of Environmental Science Allegheny College Meadville, Pennsylvania April 2011 Name: Kate Prendergast Date: Spring, 2011 Major: Environmental Studies Thesis Committee: Dr. Michael Maniates, Dr. Richard Bowden Title: The Evolution of Ski Resort Sustainability: From On-Mountain Efficiency to Environmental Activism Abstract: Because ski resorts rely on stable environmental conditions and pristine mountain landscapes for their success, the resort industry has a major stake in the climate change issue. This research project examines the steps the industry has taken to address its environmental impacts, from on- mountain mitigation strategies to political advocacy. Research into ski resort impacts and mitigation and interviews with industry leaders were conducted to gather the data used in this project. There is significant data available regarding resort impacts, but little academic information that addresses the current state of ski resort sustainability. Resorts must be taken at their word regarding many environmental claims, and the industry has been accused of greenwashing. Therefore, further research into ski resort sustainability is needed to close this gap. Moving forward, the industry must find strategies to encourage broader participation in sustainability frameworks and climate policy to ensure the future of skiing and snowboarding. This study found that a stronger industry sustainability framework, national

  • Draft of Comments for WWRNF DEIS TMP…
    Our mission is to create and sustain the best possible mountain bike trail system and experience in the Roaring Fork Valley. January 30, 2014 TO: Upper Roaring Fork Trails Plan, Planning Team RE: Comments for URFTP, Mountain Bike User Group Meeting In this document, we intend to address the overall goals for this Trails Plan from a mountain bike trail user’s perspective. These comments are based upon our detailed knowledge of the area and our experiences riding great trails both within and beyond the Roaring Fork area. Using the IMBA Ride Center evaluation system as a guide helps us to understand the types of trails and amenities we should hope to include in this planning process. Achieving a Gold medal rated IMBA Ride Center would mean we’ve achieved many of our trail quality and quantity goals while at the same time providing a valuable community trail network that both locals and visitors will enjoy for years to come. While our focus is mountain bike trails, we are fortunate in that our trail system is not over crowded, and there is almost always plenty of room to share the trail with other user types. While we expect most of the trails in the network will continue to be open and used by hikers, dog walkers, runners, and the occasional equestrian, we are interested in studying separated uses if and when bike specific trails are designed with features that are downhill oriented. The following pages include big picture goals and specific location based ideas that should be studied in the context of existing conditions maps.

  • Aspen Mountain Master Development Plan
    ASPEN MOUNTAIN Master Development 2018 PlanDraft This is the final draft of the Aspen Mt Ski Area Master Development Plan submitted to the Forest Service by Aspen Skiing Company 1/8/2018. A publication quality document will be produced with final formatting and technical editing. I. INTRODUCTION This 2017 Master Development Plan for Aspen Mountain amends and updates the existing 1997 Aspen Mountain Master Plan (AMMP). This Master Development Plan (MDP) provides a detailed assessment of existing facilities and operations on Aspen Mountain, as well as a comprehensive overview of planned elements within the Aspen Mountain Special Use Permit (SUP) area and on private lands. The MDP discusses planned year-round activities, including both winter and summer components slated for implementation over the next ten to fifteen years. United States Forest Service (Forest Service) acceptance of this MDP is consistent with the requirements of the Aspen Mountain SUP, but does not approve any projects contained within the document. The MDP is designed to be dynamic, and may be amended periodically to reflect new developments in facilities and recreation. Pitkin County’s acceptance of this MDP will be via a separate Pitkin County Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) Resolution and Ordinance. The White River National Forest Land and Resource Management Plan – 2002 Revision (2002 Forest Plan) provides the following direction for the preparation and utilization of ski area MDPs: “A Master Development Plan is part of each ski area’s special use permit. MDPs are prepared by the permit holder and accepted by the Forest Service. They describe the improvements and facilities that are authorized at each resort and are the guiding document used to describe the expected future condition for the resort.
