Johnson, AICP SERVICES Agency Director E. J. Ivaldi, Coordinator DATE: April 22, 2016 TO: California State Clearinghouse Responsible and Trustee Agencies Interested Parties and Organizations SUBJECT: Notice of Preparation of a Draft Environmental Impact Report for the Proposed Squaw Valley- Alpine Meadows Base-to-Base Gondola Project REVIEW PERIOD: April 22, 2016 to May 23, 2013 Placer County is preparing an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for Squaw Valley-Alpine Meadows Base-to- Base Gondola Project (project or B2B), which would include installation, operation, and maintenance of a winter- time only/ski season only gondola connecting the Squaw Valley and Alpine Meadows ski areas. The project would also include installation, operation, and maintenance of an avalanche control system within proximity to the Alpine Meadows portion of the gondola alignment. Placer County (County) has prepared an Initial Study to analyze these actions and has identified potentially significant environmental effects. The County will therefore prepare an environmental impact report (EIR) for the project to satisfy the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (Public Resources Code [PRC] Section 21000 et seq.), and will serve as the lead agency for CEQA compliance. Concurrent with posting of this NOP in support of the EIR, the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) is publishing a separate Notice of Intent (NOI) to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The EIS will evaluate the environmental effects resulting from the USFS amending the existing Special Use Permit (SUP) issued for the operation and maintenance of Alpine Meadows to allow construction and operation of the proposed B2B project. The EIR and EIS will each be prepared and considered for approval separately by Placer County and the USFS, respectively. Each agency will prepare their environmental review document to comply with applicable statutory requirements, CEQA for the County and NEPA for the USFS. This notice meets the CEQA noticing requirements for a Notice of Preparation (NOP) to provide responsible agencies and interested persons with sufficient information to make meaningful responses as to the scope and content of the EIR. Your timely comments will ensure an appropriate level of environmental review for the project. Project Description: The project proposes a Squaw Valley-Alpine Meadows Base-to-Base Gondola Project which would include installation, operation, and maintenance of a gondola connecting the Squaw Valley and Alpine Meadows ski areas. The project would also include installation, operation, and maintenance of an avalanch e control system within the Alpine Meadows portion of the gondola alignment. Project Location: The project area is located at 2600 Alpine Meadows Road, Tahoe City; 1960 Squaw Valley Road, Olympic Valley extending from the base of the Alpine Meadows Ski Area to the base of the Squaw Valley Ski Area. For more information regarding the project, please contact Heather Beckman, at (530) 581-6286. A copy of the NOP is available for review at the Tahoe City Library, Truckee Library, Placer County Community Development Resource Agency (Auburn), Placer County Administrative Offices in Tahoe City, and on the Placer County website: http://www.placer.ca.gov/departments/communitydevelopment/envcoordsvcs/eir NOP Scoping Meeting: In addition to the opportunity to submit written comments, two public scoping meetings will be held by the County to inform interested parties about the proposed project, and to provide agencies and the public with an opportunity to provide comments on the scope and content of the EIR. The me eting will be held on Monday, May 9, 2016 from 2:00-4:00 p.m. and from 6:00-8:00 p.m. at The Resort at Squaw Creek; Monument Peak Room, 400 Squaw Creek Road, Olympic Valley. 3091 County Center Drive, Suite 190, Auburn, California 95603 / (530)745-3132 / Fax (530)745-3080 / email: [email protected] NOP Comment Period: Written comments should be submitted at the earliest possible date, but not later than 5:00 p.m. on May 23, 2016 to Shirlee Herrington, Environmental Coordination Services, Community Development Resource Agency, 3091 County Center Drive, Suite 190, Auburn, CA 95603.

The project would also include installation, operation, and maintenance of an avalanche control system within proximity to the Alpine Meadows portion of the gondola alignment. Placer County (County) has prepared an Initial Study to analyze these actions and has identified potentially significant environmental effects. The County will therefore prepare an environmental impact report (EIR) for the project to satisfy the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (Public Resources Code [PRC] Section 21000 et seq.), and will serve as the lead agency for CEQA compliance. PURPOSE OF THIS NOTICE OF PREPARATION In accordance with the State CEQA Guidelines (14 California Code of Regulations [CCR] Section 15082), the County has prepared this notice of preparation (NOP) to inform agencies and interested parties that an EIR will be prepared for the above-referenced project. The purpose of an NOP is to provide sufficient information about the proposed project and its potential environmental impacts to allow agencies and interested parties the opportunity to provide a meaningful response related to the scope and content of the EIR, including mitigation measures that should be considered and alternatives that should be addressed (State CEQA Guidelines 14 CCR Section 15082[b]). The project location, description, and potential environmental effects are summarized below. A more detailed project description is included in the attached Initial Study. Concurrent with posting of this NOP in support of the EIR, the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) is publishing a separate Notice of Intent (NOI) to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).

  • Intermediate Ski Curriculum ------Which Group Should I Join? (Skills and Fitness)
    New Mexico Cross Country Ski Club Intermediate Ski Curriculum ----------------------------------- Which group should I join? (skills and fitness) Ask yourself: “Am I comfortable snow plow turning on a slope and doing step turns?” If the answer is “no,” stick with the beginners. That's just what the beginner group will practice. If the answer is “yes” and you think you are an intermediate student, “Have I skied for most of a day, 5 miles or more?” You should be fit enough to be out all-day, ski six miles & do some work up and down hills. Why Learn Intermediate Skills?: When people learn downhill (alpine) skiing, they usually learn that only beginners snowplow, and once you move beyond beginner level, you parallel ski and no longer snow plow. This is NOT true for cross-country and back- country skiing. Please check this attitude at the door. Cross-country & back-country means having options & making choices, depending on conditions & terrain. Just because someone can parallel or telemark turn doesn't mean they don't snow plow when necessary. A skilled cross-country or back-country skier has a repertoire of turns and skills. For example, on a mountainous back-country tour or hut trip when a trail is narrow or icy or steep or trees are close and skiers carry heavy packs, to descend treacherous places they may snowplow, use kick-turns, or make a wide traverse instead of going down the fall line. When the legs are tired or the snow very deep, skiers may use techniques such as parallel or use step turns.
