The U.S. Forest Service finalized policy guidelines that will open opportunities for ski areas to promote year-round recreation activities that are natural resource-based and that will create additional jobs for communities with ski areas on the National Forests. “The new directives will help usher in a wider spectrum of developed recreation opportunities that will encourage more people to enjoy the national forests,” said U.S. Forest Service Chief Tom Tidwell. “This change will allow ski areas to offer expanded recreation choices that will benefit local communities and recreationists.” The guidelines – referred to as directives – will be published in the Federal Register this week and take effect immediately. They will be used by agency administrators to determine which summer recreation activities and associated facilities will be allowed on ski areas operating on national forests. There are 122 ski areas on nearly 180,000 acres of public land administered by the Forest Service.

Our Support
NOTE: We post articles because we think they are of interest. Doing so doesn’t mean that I necessarily agree with every—or any—opinion in the posted article. And although we often post about disagreements, it is VERY important to understand that we agree and proudly support, more of the ideas of U.S. Leaders than disagreed. (it is just part of democracy, it gives balance and is vital)
Word of the year:
Freedom isn't free, just ask any soldier.
From me to you - Thanks!
No I don't support the idea of never ending war in our world.
But I do have to support the people who have given me the right and freedom to complain about it.
Please support our veterans by doing anything you can to boost theirs spirits and hope.
I write a lot of this before I have my coffee.
Getting up every morning before 4am... the only thing that looks good is coffee.
I do not think President Obama regularly drank coffee we he was in senate,
but he may want to try it on his new job.
WARNING: coffee is harmful to the environment, small woodland animals and people who like to maintain status quo
