Snodgrass Proposal Rejected !?!? ….

Snodgrass Cover

Somewhat old news around Crested Butte these days, but we thought with the lull of off-season almost over and a new ski season starting in less then a week, it was worth mentioning. In a somewhat surprise desicion, the USFS denied CBMR’s Proposal for Lift Served skiing to be expanded onto Snodgrass Mountain, from even entering the NEPA process. No chance for public comment, case closed.

Needless to say a bit of a firestorm has started here in CB. Regardless of which way you lean, this is some big news around our small parts.

    Not correct to say no public comment was allowed on Snodgrass.
    It’s been going on for 30 years.
    Was in NEPA once in 1996 till CBMR decided to can the idea
    Forest Service received 500+ letters since 2004.
    Town of CB held a public forum in March 2008, 150 folks attended (speakers were, 50 for saving Snodgrass and only one town resident for lifts)
    CBMR help public meetings with comments allowed
    CBMR pleaded with its followers to please weigh in since 2004
    Friends of Snodgrass followers were weighing in since 2004
    Tables at farmers markets, petitions.
    Debate between Mike Martin and John Norton early 2000’s.
    Websites for both sides created in early 2000’s.
