Announces decision to implement Alternative A of project EA, to encourage summertime use of ski facilities which will attract additional visitors with a new slide constructed along with mitigation measures, minimizing any impacts to soil, botanical resources and visual quality of the area.
Proposes to amend the Special Use Permit to authorize Hoodoo Ski Area to construct and operate a summer use alpine slide within their permit area, estimated to be 3040 feet in length from the top of a central ski run to the base of a chairlift. Approximately 50 trees, 6" to 14" dbh will be removed, resulting in less than one acre of clearing to install and operate the slide. Disturbed ground will be planted with native vegetation to reduce the spread and introduction of noxious weeds and to reduce erosion.
