    From: Lee Greenwald To: FS-objections-pnw-mthood Subject: Twilight Parking lot Date: Monday, March 03, 2014 11:44:20 PM Attachments: 2013 International Report on Snow Mountain Tourism.pdf Cross-country skiing experiencing a Nordic renaissance Olympian.pdf Twilight Parking Lot OBJECTION 3-1-14 EAE v2.doc Dear objections official, I previously raised several objections concerning Mt Hood Meadows application to build the Twilight Parking lot. 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.

  • Baqueira Beret for the Little Ones
    Press Release 2016/2017 Season LATEST NEWS 16/17 SEASON Baqueira Beret prepares for the 16-17 season with improvements in different areas enriching and easing the experience for the skiers and snowboarders on and off piste. Reaching 156km of skiable terrain The remodeling of pistes which took place over the summer adds 1 km to the marked runs reaching a total of 151 km plus the 5 km of mountain itineraries. Moreover, the Audi Ski Kronos has been added to the overall total due to its success this previous winter. With this addition, Baqueira Beret now has 104 signed runs as well as a freeride area with 2,166 ha. of skiable terrain, therefore, representing a very attractive option for enjoying the mountains of Naut Aran and Alt Aneu. Preparation and piste maintenance Each morning throughout the season the pistes of the Baqueira Beret resort must be impeccable. To make sure this takes place, the resort has a float of 15 grooming machines, 4 of which have been purchased this season. Two are conventional and two are winch operated. All of the groomers are equipped with a GPS system which improves their performance and efficiency in addition to the safety of the drivers. Snow production A good portion of the snow making system in Beret has been changed to improve the quality of the snow production. The new system brings an increase in capacity of production thanks to an improvement in the use of the hours of cold weather and the reduction of energetic consumption. Moreover, the installations have been changed in the arrival area of 1500m zone of the Vuelta Casa which will increase the snow production in this highly trafficked area.
