  • Heavenly Mountain Resort Epic Discovery Project Proposed Record
    Proposed Record of Decision Heavenly Mountain Resort Epic Discovery Project U.S. Forest Service Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit El Dorado and Alpine Counties, California Douglas County, Nevada Background Heavenly Mountain Resort (Heavenly) is a multi-season recreational resort which straddles the Lake Tahoe hydrologic watershed (“Lake Tahoe Basin”) on National Forest System lands near the south shore of Lake Tahoe (Figure 1-1). Heavenly currently operates under a forty-year (40) Ski Area Term Special Use Permit issued by the United States Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit (Forest Service) on May 7, 2002. Unlike many other Forest Service permit holders, extensive resort improvements at Heavenly require multi-agency review and approval including the Forest Service, the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency (TRPA) and the Lahontan Water Quality Control Board. Heavenly has proposed to expand summer uses within its permit area as part of the proposed Epic Discovery Project. In November 2011, Congress enacted the Ski Area Recreational Opportunity Enhancement Act (SAROEA), which amended the National Forest Ski Area Permit Act of 1986 to clarify the authority of the Secretary of Agriculture regarding additional recreational uses of NFS land subject to ski area permits, and for other purposes (16 USC 487b). The SAROEA provides public policy direction to and authority for the Forest Service to approve facilities to support summer and year-round natural resource-based recreation at ski areas. The Act recognizes the public benefits to be gained from expanding public access to year-round recreation opportunities in developed ski areas, including additional employment and economic activity for communities with public land ski areas.

MOUNTAIN RESORT TOWNS ARE NATURALLY DISPOSED TOWARDS HIGH REAL ESTATE PRICES ► Ski towns provide immediate access to recreation and offer a high density of commercial services relative to population (given large seasonal tourist populations), resulting in real estate premiums driven by accessibility and convenience ► Mountain resort towns are geographically constrained, in part due to the conserved ski mountain/national forest land, meaning building areas are restricted and supply is naturally constrained, pushing prices up ► Ski resort towns are meccas for outdoor recreation. As the popularity of year-round outdoor recreation activities including mountain biking, hiking, snowshoeing, and skiing continues to rise, an increase in demand continues to drive prices up ► Existing high-quality developments in mountain villages give mountain resort areas a reputation for luxury product and desirable living ► Construction and operating costs are high given challenging construction logistics, labor contsraints and many other factors Source: RCLCO U.S. Mountain Community Summit | 2/20/2019 | 3 MOUNTAINS DOMINATE SEASONAL MARKETS 25% OF COUNTIES WHERE OVER 90% OF HOUSING STOCK IS FOR SEASONAL USE ARE SKI-CENTRIC Estimated Percentage of Housing for Seasonal Use, U.S. Counties; 2017 MAP KEY 0-15% 15-32% 32-51% 51-71% 71-97% Source: US Census; RCLCO U.S. Mountain
