Ski Industry Leases Of
Vermont State Auditor Douglas R. Hoffer Report to the Vermont Legislature and the Agency of Natural Resources State Land Leases Boost Ski Industry, but Are Dated and Inconsistent 1/20/2015 • Office of the Vermont State Auditor • Non-Audit Report 15-01 Mission Statement The mission of the Vermont State Auditor’s Office is to hold government accountable. This means ensuring taxpayer funds are used effectively and efficiently, and that we foster the prevention of waste, fraud, and abuse. Principal Investigator Andrew C. Stein Non-Audit Inquiry This is a non-audit report. A non-audit report is a tool used to inform citizens and management of issues that may need attention. It is not an audit and is not conducted under generally accepted government auditing standards. A non-audit report has a substantially smaller scope of work than an audit. Therefore, its conclusions are more limited, and it does not contain recommendations. Instead, the report includes information and possible risk-mitigation strategies relevant to the entity that is the object of the inquiry. DOUGLAS R. HOFFER STATE AUDITOR STATE OF VERMONT OFFICE OF THE STATE AUDITOR January 20, 2015 The Honorable Shap Smith Speaker of the House of Representatives The Honorable John Campbell President Pro Tempore of the Senate The Honorable Peter Shumlin Governor Deb Markowitz Secretary of Natural Resources Dear Colleagues, More than 70 years ago, the State decided to catalyze a new industry by leasing public land to companies willing to invest in the infrastructure necessary for downhill skiing. By most measures, this partnership has been successful, and our iconic mountains are now home to world- famous ski areas.

Critical Paths
CRITICAL PATHS ~ Enhancing Road Permeability for Wildlife in Vermont ~ Recommendations for “On the Ground” Improvements at Priority Road Crossing Zones in the Green Mountain Corridor This is a Draft Report. A Final Version Will Be Published After Stakeholders and Municipal Officials Have Provided Input. By George Leoniak, Principal, Leoniak Tracking Services Tina Scharf, Consulting Wildlife Biologist Jamey Fidel, Forest and Biodiversity Program Director, Jared Nunery, Markell Ripps, and Siobhan McIntyre, Interns Vermont Natural Resources Council George Gay, Director, Global Warming Program, Northeast Regional Center, National Wildlife Federation Forrest Hammond, Wildlife Biologist, Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department Jens Hilke, Conservation Planning Biologist, Community Wildlife Program, Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department August, 2009 I. Introduction Vermont’s transportation system is an important and growing feature in the state. In the last quarter of the 20th century, Vermont expanded its road system by an average of 26 miles per year to a total of about 14,251 miles. The number of vehicle miles traveled by Vermont residents is growing at seven times the rate of population growth. As of 2008, Vermont had a total of 14,122 miles of public roadways, and 13 major roadways running east to west, bisecting large blocks of undeveloped lands that run north to south the length of the state. This expansive transportation infrastructure has the following negative impacts upon wildlife: vehicle-wildlife collisions; reducing animal and fish passage, thus limiting habitat availability and isolating populations; vehicle emissions of pollutants such as ozone and greenhouse gases; and facilitating the spread of an exotic, invasive species into otherwise healthy areas.

Winter Camping Guide
Winter Camping on the Catamount Trail Hello campers! If you’ve found this, you’re interested in some cold-weather camping while skiing the trail. Spending the night outside on the trail is a challenging but amazing experience. Please do not start any overnight ski/snowshoe trips without planning accordingly, whether inn-to-inn or primitive camping. It is best if you have winter backcountry camping experience or are travelling with someone who does. You can refer to our general safety tips for backcountry skiing at www.catamounttrail.org/trail/planning/safety but please remember that spending the night adds several levels of complexity to staying safe on the trail. This document is intended as a rough guide to possible camping options along the trail, not your only resource for your trip. Bring relevant maps with you. If you find a great spot to stay or learn that the information isn’t accurate, let us know! And when you get back to the warmth of your own home, we’d love to hear about your trip. OTHER ORGANIZATIONS: Green Mountain National Forest Much of the CT winds its way through the Green Mountain National Forest. Consult your guidebook and watch for changes in signage. You may camp on National Forest land following the Leave No Trace Principles and camping under 2,500 feet and at least 200 feet from roads, trails, and bodies of water. Most of the trail lies below 2,500 feet, but please refer to the guidebook for elevation maps. Rangers can be reached at 802-747-6700.

This is a non- regulatory Plan summarizing the information collected over the three year study by the locally appointed Study Committee, illustrating examples of management success stories in our region, and encouraging the voluntary recommendations which the Study Committee feels will maintain the Missisquoi and Trout Rivers in healthy condition. Should designation occur, it will be based on this locally-developed Management Plan and would not involve federal acquisition or management of lands. The Upper Missisquoi and Trout Rivers Wild and Scenic Study Committee is pleased to present its Management Plan for the upper Missisquoi and Trout Rivers for community review.
