Show MOUNTAIN TIMES Continued from page 6 improvements at Alta versus other resorts are somewhat irrelevant. “It’s like saying those other guys are bad because they are using the atomic bomb when we only want to use TNT. It just doesn’t make any sense.” It's surprising, Dick noted, that Sieg said the current proposal won't be like the grading and blasting in 1992. “What they're proposing is not as drastic as what they did in 1992?” he asked. “Because the description in the document invites us to compare the propos- al to what happened in 1992.” Save Our Canyons was not aware of the previous ‘92 trail-grading proposal near Cecret Lake, Dick explained, hinting that the group was left out of the decision five years ago. In terms of an alternative that has less impact, he said it’s difficult to know what it would look like. “We have no way of knowing what the alternative is, except what the Forest Service and Alta Company tell us. We are distrustful and I think with good reason,” Dick said. Save Our Canyons was invited by Alta Ski Lifts to tour the area last spring But Dick says at the time Albion Basin was covered by several feet of snow and the proposed disturbance was not clearly visible. “We were never invited this summer to go with the Forest Service. They met many times during the summer and we feel excluded.” A decision by the Forest Service on Alta’s proposal is due out this spring. @ “The Castle” in Upper Albion Basin “One Big Barn-Burning, Roof-Raising, Heaven-Rocking, photo by Alexis Kelner near Sugarloaf runs.
