..... Mt. Crested Butte, Colo. (Ski Press)-The Ski Press news desk received this press release regarding Crested Butte Mountain Resorts reaction the U.S. Forest Services denial of its proposed Snodgrass Mountain expansion: On Nov. 5, 2009, Crested Butte Mountain Resort (CBMR) received a letter from the U.S. Forest Service denying the resort the ability to enter into the public review process under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) for its Snodgrass Mountain expansion proposal. With its decision the Forest Service did not follow the procedures it follows at other ski areas, and handed down a final decision that directly impacts the economic stability of the East River Valley in Gunnison County without preparing objective formal studies and without asking for public comments. Since the letter became public, the resort has received an outpouring of support from the community urging CBMR to appeal. Despite a statement in the Forest Service letter denying the opportunity for appeal, CBMR does believe this decision is appealable under Forest Service regulations and is initiating an action. The statement is terribly flawed and is another example of the Forest Services high handedness and disregard for public due process rights, added Tim Mueller, president of CBMR. Support for CBMR and fair public process continues to swell locally, regionally and nationally. Approximately 300 community members attended a rally on Friday, Nov. 13, at local Crested Butte restaurant Maxwells, to show support for CBMR and to voice their concern with the recent Forest Service decision rejecting the NEPA process for Snodgrass. The vast majority of the community is shocked at the denial of due process. During the event, community members signed a petition to allow the NEPA process to proceed, and gathered information about further efforts to affect the reinstatement of the public?s right to comment and the public?s right to participate in this decision about public lands.
