My decision is based on, and supported by, the Arapahoe Basin Ski Area Projects Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) and the project file. Arapahoe Basin Ski Area (A-Basin) is located in the Dillon Ranger District of the WRNF, 15 miles east of Dillon, Colorado. A-Basin is approximately one to two hours driving time from the metropolitan Denver area via Interstate 70 (I-70) and Highway 6 (refer to the Vicinity Map in Chapter 6 of the FEIS). It can be accessed via Highway 6 from the west through the Town of Dillon or from the east from Loveland Pass. A-Basin is owned by Dundee Resort Development, a subsidiary of Dream Unlimited Corporation, and operates under a United States Forest Service (Forest Service) Ski Area Term SUP. A-Basin’s SUP covers approximately 1,872 acres of National Forest System (NFS) lands, which encompass 100 percent of the ski area’s chairlift/terrain network, parking facilities, infrastructure, and guest services. PURPOSE AND NEED In order to meet the needs and expectations of existing and potential guests and provide a safe skiing experience, the WRNF, through its acceptance of A-Basin’s 2012 Master Development Plan (MDP), has identified a need to: • Provide the Beavers with snow safety operations and ski patrol services consistent with statements made in the 2002 WRNF Forest Plan FEIS. • Accommodate existing and future demand for high alpine and open bowl skiing while protecting and enhancing the distinctive skiing experience that A-Basin provides. • Improve access along the 400-foot-long, slightly uphill catwalk from Lenawee Mountain chairlift to Montezuma Bowl. • Upgrade and remove chairlifts, as needed. • Provide adventure-based multi-season experiences that require little specialized knowledge, skills, equipment or familiarity with the mountain environment. THE DECISION AND RATIONALE FOR THE DECISION After thoroughly considering the project Purpose and Need, issues, alternatives, and extensive analyses presented in the Arapahoe Basin Ski Area Projects FEIS, as well as the public and agency comments submitted, my decision is to approve Alternative 2. All of the projects approved by my decision are on Arapahoe Basin Ski Area Projects Final Environmental Impact Statement ROD-1 Draft Record of Decision NFS lands within 2002 Forest Plan Management Area 8.25 and occur within the A-Basin’s SUP boundary. THE SELECTED ALTERNATIVE My decision to approve the Selected Alternative provides A-Basin with the authorization to implement activities analyzed in detail in the FEIS. In particular, the Selected Alternative includes the addition of approximately 338 acres of skiing terrain in the Beavers, construction of a new chairlift to access the Beavers terrain, a new surface lift to access Montezuma Bowl, replacement of the Molly Hogan and Pallavicini chairlifts, removal of the Norway chairlift, grading projects to improve operational efficiency and skier circulation, and construction of a canopy tour and challenge course. All approved projects will be located within A-Basin’s existing SUP area. The Selected Alternative is depicted in the Selected Alternative Figure. These projects will allow A-Basin to better meet guest expectations and address the project Purpose and Need. Implementation of the projects in the Selected Alternative will also respond to long-term goals and objectives of the 2002 WRNF Forest Plan and new Forest Service direction regarding additional seasonal and year-round recreational activities at ski areas. DECISION RATIONALE The entire Arapahoe Basin Ski Area Projects analysis and public involvement processes were both thorough and informative in making my decision. They provided a foundation for my decision and the project design criteria (PDC) identified in Table ROD-2. I have carefully reviewed the FEIS and the environmental impacts of this project. The FEIS discloses, using the best available science and information, the qualitative and quantitative effects on the human and biological environment that are anticipated to result with the implementation of the approved projects. My rationale for choosing the Selected Alternative is based on careful consideration of several key elements addressed during the public involvement and analysis process, including consistency with: the project Purpose and Need, the 2002 WRNF Forest Plan, agency direction for additional seasonal and year-round recreational activities at ski areas, and A-Basin’s 2012 MDP. Consistency with the Project Purpose and Need and the 2002 WRNF Forest Plan I am approving the Selected Alternative because it best meets the project Purpose and Need to meet the growing demand at A-Basin for this terrain type, improve the guest experience across the ski area, and address skier safety within the Beavers terrain. In particular, I believe that adding lift-served terrain in the Beavers will improve the unique recreational experience offered at A-Basin while addressing safety concerns in this area. Summit County Board of County Commissioners, Summit County Sheriff’s Office, and Summit County Rescue Group all concur with my understanding and support the Forest Service’s and Arapahoe Basin Ski Area Projects Final Environmental Impact Statement ROD-2 Draft Record of Decision A-Basin’s approach to managing the Beavers terrain. During project site visits, my staff has witnessed guests of A-Basin disembarking the Pallavicini chairlift, sliding to the ski area boundary, ducking the boundary rope and/or exiting through the backcountry access point, and entering the Beavers terrain and Steep Gullies only to return to the ski area. I acknowledge this is great skiing terrain for those that are equipped and prepared; however, the proximity and ease of access (legal or illegal) from the ski area is problematic from a safety standpoint. The Sheriff’s Office has provided data that is included in the project file that speaks to the frequency of calls for rescue, as well as the frequency of calls annually confirming that A-Basin ski patrol is leaving the ski area operational boundary to rescue members of the public in the Beavers terrain. The Forest Service first identified the need for snow safety operations and ski patrol in the Beavers when this area was included in Management 8.25 and A-Basin’s SUP area in the 2002 WRNF Forest Plan. I recognize that the proximity to A-Basin makes this area a popular lift-served, backcountry destination, but the difficulty of the terrain poses serious safety risks for the many skiers who currently ski there and hitchhike on Highway 6 back to the base area. The 2002 WRNF Forest Plan includes the following statement in our discussion of potential ski area expansion areas: “The Beavers are popular with backcountry skiers and snowboarders who access the site from

  • About the A-Basin Lodge – “The Structure (A-Frame Lodge) Was Originally Built by Stanley Aviation in Aurora, Next to the Old Stapleton Airport
    About the A-Basin Lodge – “The structure (A-Frame Lodge) was originally built by Stanley Aviation in Aurora, next to the old Stapleton Airport. In the 1960s, we had a contract to design, build, and test an escape capsule for the Air Force B-58 bomber. Part of the testing involved simulating the capsule landing under a parachute (with the airman inside) onto concrete and dirt, and into water. The A-Frame (and it was just a timber frame) had a monorail along the ridge beam which allowed us to drop the capsule from a height, and with a horizontal velocity, that simulated a parachute landing onto/into these three surfaces. Later, the capsule was successfully tested by ejection from a rocket sled with an animal subject and finally from an aircraft with a human subject.” Gordon Valentine –Stanley Aviation 1953-87 –Arapahoe Basin Ski Patrol 1969-87 Lunch served Friday − Monday 11am until 4pm APPETIZERS 90 Shilling Beer Chicken Wings Braised Short Rib One pound of wings tossed in House cut fries, goat cheese traditional, cherry habanero glaze or curd, pickled shallot, braising BBQ sauce served with celery sticks and sauce, green chilies w11.50 bleu cheese dressing w10.95 6th Alley Laughing Bird Shrimp Nachos Roasted corn, black beans, sweet potato Fresh fried chips, chicken, black bean succotash, andouille sausage, scallions, corn relish, green onion, cheddar jack red pepper BBQ sauce w12.50 cheese, jalapeño, sour cream, Crispy Pork Belly salsa w12.95 Fried green tomato, roasted peaches, Carolina cole slaw, creole aioli w9.95 Freshly Made Tortilla

  • New Additions in Colorado Ski Country Winter 2019-20 Investment, Enhancement and Transformation Continue
    New Additions in Colorado Ski Country Winter 2019-20 Investment, Enhancement and Transformation Continue Colorado Ski Country USA member ski areas are in the midst of a transformative period of investment over the last two years. Since 2018, Colorado ski areas small, medium and large have added 11 new chairlifts to whisk skiers and riders up the mountain more quickly and efficiently, four new lodging offerings, 10 new dining options and other facility and program upgrades. New Lifts and New Terrain • Cooper will have a new lift on the east-facing slopes and new terrain. The Way Back lift will serve 70 acres of new, mostly double black diamond gladed or tree skiing including 5 new runs. • Copper Mountain will welcome 273 acres of expert terrain on Tucker Mountain with the new Three Bears chairlift, which tops out at 12,421 ft. This three-person fixed grip lift will access terrain that was previously accessible via snowcat or hiking only. The lift will come complete with a ski patrol warming hut at the summit and bathrooms at the base. • Winter Park Resort’s new 6-person Sunnyside chair will replace the original 3-person fixed grip chair. The $6 million upgrade will reduce the ride time from eight minutes to under four. This will greatly reduce lift lines at this popular resort location. • Steamboat Resort is replacing the gondola after over 30 years. This will increase capacity by nearly 40 percent, reducing ride time from 12 minutes to 10 and increasing guest ease with gondola cabins flush to the ground allowing riders to walk straight on as opposed to stepping up into the cabin.

  • Has Submitted a Proposal to the White River National Forest (WRNF) to Pursue Approval of Proposed Projects Included in Its 2012 Master Development Plan (MDP)
    United States Forest White River Supervisor’s Office Department of Service National Forest 900 Grand Avenue Agriculture Glenwood Spgs., CO 81601-3602 (970)945-2521 FAX (970)945-3266 File Code: 1950/2720 Date: November 21, 2013 Dear Interested Public: Arapahoe Basin Ski Area (A-Basin) has submitted a proposal to the White River National Forest (WRNF) to pursue approval of proposed projects included in its 2012 Master Development Plan (MDP). The WRNF has accepted this proposal and is preparing an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) to analyze and disclose the potential environmental effects of implementing the projects. All of the proposed projects are within A-Basin’s existing Forest Service-administered Special Use Permit (SUP) boundary. The Proposed Action includes providing lift service and developed terrain within The Beavers area (including The Steep Gullies) – both of which are currently beyond the controlled/patrolled portion of A-Basin’s operational boundary.1 The Proposed Action also includes improvements to the lift network and snowmaking water storage system and enhancements to four-season recreation opportunities within the SUP area. The Proposed Action is designed to provide lift served access to additional advanced terrain within the existing SUP boundary, while maintaining the integrity of the unique characteristics for which A-Basin is known. The Purpose and Need for Action and the Proposed Action are discussed in the following sections. At this time, I am soliciting comments from the public on this project. Details on how to comment are found at the conclusion of this scoping notice. PURPOSE OF AND NEED FOR ACTION Dating back to 1982, six avalanche fatalities have occurred in the backcountry immediately adjacent to A- Basin’s operational boundary – five in The Steep Gullies and one in Beaver Bowl.
