Inspecting ski areas for illegal structures is a routine procedure, Forest Service patrol captain Dan Nielsen told the News. “We’ve worked with the other resorts and found similar structures.”
The structures pose several problems, Nielson explained in the newspaper report. They can create hazards for unsuspecting skiers and often result in tree damage in the immediate vicinity. Damaged trees can lead to a bark beetle infestation, he said.
Get real! How do you expect anyone to take you seriously when you try to say that a lean-to in the woods is going to lead to bark beetle infestation! Talk about insulting the public at large!
I was looking for my local one and could not find it. I am sure ours is buried under the 400+ inches of snow we have gotten so far this year.
