Forest
says skiers misinformed about plan
October 15, 2004 - Jackson Hole Local, WY - Bridger-Teton National Forest

received 58 comments on proposed changes to the resort’s backcountry

the effects." The reasoning was articulated in documents released

14-page "response to comments" paper.

ski year) before we go into the next one."
