  • Existing and Potential Ski Areas
    EXISTING AND POTENTIAL SKI AREAS Abstract: Downhill skiing is a popular activity in Colorado. The ARNF receives an average of 1,366,230 skier visits annually. Predictions are that the rapid growth of the ski industry in the 1970s and 1980s has ended and that in the next decade skier demand will be met through expansions at existing areas, with few new ski resort communities being established. A trend evident in Colorado is that larger ski areas tend to succeed. Each alternative provides for the continuing operation of the areas currently operating under special use authorization. Alternatives differ from each other by the number of acres allocated to each of the areas currently authorized as well as by acreages allocated to potential sites. Alternative A allocates 21,685 acres to ski-based resorts, existing and potential (MA 8.22). Alternative B allocates 16,527 acres, apportioned solely among the three areas currently operating under special use authorization. Alternative C allocates 21,544 acres and Alternative E 20,349 acres to develop ski areas. Alternative H allocates 9,101 acres, and Alternative 122,142 acres. INTRODUCTION Developed ski areas are a longterm commitment to the occupancy of National Forest System land. This use was originally authorized under the Act of March 4, 1915, as amended July 28, 1956 (38 Stat. 1101; 16 USC 497.) which authorized term permits for structures or facilities on National Forest System land and set up maximum limits of 80 acres and 30 years and the Act of June 4, 1897 (Ch. 2,30 Stat. 11, as amended; 16 USC 473-475,477-432,551) which authorized annual permits for the land occupied by ski runs and undeveloped portions of the ski areas.

  • H Istory Winter Activities
    BUCk H ill - from the website Ploces to see https://ptoceandsee.com/wiki/buck-hil Bre.ndon Maness @ flickr Buck Hill is a ski hill in the north central United States, in the city of Burnsville, Minnesota, a suburb south of Minneapolis. lt is one of three ski areas located within the Twin Cities metropolitan area, the others are Afton Alps and Hyland Ski and Snowboard Area. Buck Hill opened in L954 and offers ski, snowboard, and tubing trails. Artificial snow is often utilized for maintaining the slopes, because while Minnesota's winters are cold, the snowfall is relatively low for a ski area, averaging less than per year. Buck Hill faces east, overlooking the adjacent lnterstate 35. The ski area is lighted for night skiing, and operates three chairlifts (2 quads, 1 triple) and multiple surface tows (trail map). The base area consists of a parking lot and a short strip of lodges. The ski runs use the east face of the physical hill, with the other sides occupied by residential housing, with a municipal water tower sharing the summit. The vertical drop of the ski area is a modest 310 feet (9a m). H istory Buck Hill was named by early settlers, who noticed its summit was a gathering spot for Mdewakanton Dakota to watch male deer (bucks) drink at Crystal Lake. The ski area was started by Chuck Stone, who discovered the sport as a child recovering from polio, and had worked as a lift attendant at Suicide Six in Vermont. Returning to Minneapolis, he wanted to start a ski area, and went to the public library to search out viable topography.

  • The Mystique of Cross-Country Skiing in California
    The Mystique of Cross-Country Skiing in California Author’s Note: This article “The Mystique of Cross-Country Skiing in California.” That book is available in English as a book/ebook and also as an ebookin Chinese. Parallel coverage on Northern California occurs in my latest travel guidebook/ebook Northern California History Travel Adventures: 35 Suggested Trips. All my travel guidebooks/ebooks on California can be seen on my Amazon Author Page. By Lee Foster Soft, thick flakes of snow, falling at the rate of three inches an hour, greeted me as I skied cross-country along the Aspen Forest Trail at Bear Valley in California’s Sierra. The aspen and pine trees of the forest assumed a magical appearance, aspen branches stark against the white and pine branches bent almost vertical with the heavy snow. The grey sky of this major storm proved inviting, warm, and perfectly quiet, rather than ominous. Only the crunch of my skis, gripping the snow in the touring track, broke the complete stillness of the forest. In the good company of my two children, Karin and Paul, I savored the moment. For moments such as this, I knew, I had made cross-country skiing my winter sport of choice. I was not alone in choosing this sport. Cross-country or “Nordic” resorts flourish in the current winter sports travel picture across America, while downhill or “alpine” ski growth is flat. Industry observers estimate that there are about 10.7 million downhill skiers, 3.5 million cross-country skiers. After skiing at all the major cross- country resorts in California, added to my cross-country skiing in three other western states, I finally asked myself: what is the mystique of this sport that makes it so attractive? A pleasing mix of solitude and sociability characterizes the experience.
