What is SOCs position on ski resorts?
Most SOC members, volunteers, trustees and staff are skiers and snowboarders at resorts as well as in the backcountry. SOC has been intimately involved in the public processes required during the Forest Service’s consideration of ski resorts’ Master Development Plans. (Remember that many ski resorts are mostly on federal land.) This has been a major undertaking involving thousands of volunteer and staff hours. Through the years, SOC has opposed only a small number of ski area development proposals.
