The first is the valorization of physical labor as a path to positive social reform and personal enlightenment. The second is a dialectical approach to epistemology, in which world-knowing is connected to world-making. In both cases, dancers in China found themselves, their bodies, and their work at the center of conflicting ideals, often in which the state upheld, through its policies and standards, what seemed to be conflicting points of view and directions of action. Since they occupy the unusual position of being cultural workers who labor with their bodies, dancers were successively the heroes and the victims in an ever unresolved national debate over the value of mental versus physical labor.

Though some, not all, of these objections were ostensibly addressed in their responses, they were not addressed fully nor adequately. I raised concerns regarding Meadows assumptions on growth in demand for Alpine skiing. The last ten years MHM stated continued growth trends, but actually the most recent previous two years that has not been the trend. The true growth is in Nordic skiing. The majority of the Nordic community is against the creation of the Twilight lot without a comprehensive analysis of potential future use of this terrain, and nearby Nordic trails and connecting trails. This type of analysis has not been done, and would be precluded by proceeding with the construction of the Twilight lot before all future use options have been considered. Second, I asked that MHM be required by the FS to place the funds, $500,000, for a Nordic center in a designated account for a future Nordic center building, and a restrictive timeline for construction. If the parking lot is to be built, the Nordic community should have some prior input on the Nordic facility to be built prior to the lots final approval. The response that was posted simply stated that "a" facility would be built within three years.

  • Master Development Plan from Developer Mountain Capitol Partners
    PREFACE This Mountain Resort Master Development Plan (MDP) is intended to be the guiding document for future development at Nordic Valley Ski Resort. Illustration 1 is a visual representation of the process on which this document is based. First, an overall resort vision and guiding goals were determined based on market needs, resort niche and long-term outlook. These vision and goal statements help inform the entire process; that is, to help answer questions such as, What’s important to our guests?, What makes our resort special?, and Where should we invest our time, money and resources? With a vision and goals established, the next step is to inventory existing conditions at the resort to identify existing strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and constraints. This is critical information that goes into the resort planning phase. Details are collected such as the number of lifts and their conditions, the square footage of guest service spaces and how many parking spaces are available. Physical resources are also inventoried to help identify ideal locations to develop or to avoid due to environmental sensitivity. The next phase of the MDP process is to analyze existing capacities of various facility components to determine imbalances within the operation. Collectively, this analysis leads to the identification of improvements that would bring existing facilities into better balance, help the resort prioritize projects and help the resort to operate more efficiently. Accomplishing these goals will result in a well-balanced resort, which provides an adequate array of services and experiences to satisfy guest expectations for a quality recreation experience. The results of this process are documented in this MDP.
