  • A Guide to Car-Free Skiing in Colorado
    A Guide to Car-Free Skiing in Colorado: The Growing Ways to Get from the Denver Region to the Slopes Without Your Personal Car February 2017 For years, the only real way for people to get from the Denver region up to the ski slopes has been to drive their personal car. While the number of people who carpool along the limited roads that lead to our slopes is high, relying on personal vehicles to move hundreds of thousands of people from the Front Range to the ski slopes during the winter is inefficient, unsafe, and has a negative impact on our health and the environment. Only a handful of roads connect the Denver region to the slopes, including Highway 119 from Boulder to Eldora; and Highway 6, Highway 9 and Interstate 70 from Denver to slopes in Clear Creek, Summit and Eagle County. Relying on personal vehicles to traverse along these roads is inefficient and puts an incredible strain on corridors that also must carry local vehicles and the trucks that supply our state. Depending on personal vehicles to carry people to the slopes increases the number of vehicles on the road that might be poorly equipped to handle winter driving and can contribute to preventable crashes. Large numbers of personal vehicles also emit pollution that can impact the public health of communities and contributes to climate change, which increasingly threatens the ski slopes that Coloradans are travelling to use. The use of personal vehicles to get to the slopes also creates an economic strain on Coloradans. For mountain communities, personal vehicles from outside their community put a strain on their local infrastructure often requiring significant investments in parking lots that can also damage the local aesthetics.

    Appendix C Squaw Valley | Alpine Meadows Base-to-Base Gondola Final Visitation and Use Assessment SQUAW VALLEY | ALPINE MEADOWS BASE-TO-BASE GONDOLA FINAL VISITATION AND USE ASSESSMENT February 2018 Prepared by: SE Group and RRC Associates Squaw Valley | Alpine Meadows Gondola Visitation and Use Assessment BACKGROUND Squaw Valley Ski Holdings, LLC (SVSH) has applied to the U.S. Forest Service and Placer County, California for permission to construct a gondola connecting the Squaw Valley and Alpine Meadows ski areas.1 The U.S. Forest Service and Placer County are analyzing the potential environmental impacts of this project through a joint Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)/Environmental Impact Report (EIR). The EIS/EIR will analyze direct and indirect effects of the Proposed Action and alternatives to the Proposed Action that would occur on both National Forest System (NFS) lands as well as private lands within Placer County, California. Past, present, and reasonably foreseeable future activities that could affect, or could be affected by, implementation of the Proposed Action and alternatives will be analyzed cumulatively. This assessment is designed to inform the analysis of potential direct impacts of the proposed Base-to- Base Gondola by evaluating the anticipated changes to annual snowsports visitation at Squaw Valley | Alpine Meadows as a result of the proposed project. This analysis evaluates the anticipated impact on total snowsports visits (i.e., skier visits) and potential changes in the Squaw Valley | Alpine Meadows market share expected to specifically result from the installation and operation of the proposed Base-to-Base Gondola. METHODOLOGIES AND DATA Amenities and Attractions At the root of this assessment is the consideration of whether the proposed Base-to-Base Gondola would principally provide an added amenity at Squaw Valley | Alpine Meadows or if the added resort connectivity that it would provide would be sufficiently unique to act as an attractant to increased visitation.
