Please Help to Protect Your Backcountry Experience in the Lookout Pass Area

It's time for you to speak up! The comment period has been extended through Monday May 10th for the Lookout Pass Ski Area Expansion. You will loose opportunities for a quiet winter backcountry experience in the Lookout Pass and Stevens Peak backcountry if the ski area expands. The DEIS addresses only the expansion proposed for the north side of St. Regis Basin. But the ski area has future plans to expand in a big way into St. Regis basin and the St. Regis/Copper Lake Divide. Any expansion will have significant impacts on your opportunities for accessible winter backcountry use in the area and Stevens Peak vicinity.

I had assumed that this expansion was a done deal and all they were waiting on is the funds to make it happen.
Thanks for the heads up!
 
No this is not a done deal, all users need to be aware and keep up to date!! I recommend calling the local USFS District Ranger Dan Scaife 208-664-2318 and voice your need for this to remain as backcountry access only!!!

We need to all step up and call!!
