Draft Environmental Impact Statement

This past Friday the Arapahoe Basin Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) for several proposed projects was released. The document outlines our proposal for the Beavers and Steep Gullies, surface lift to Montezuma Bowl, summer activities and future lift replacement / retirement plans. Currently, we are in a 45 day public comment period. To review the entire DEIS and to comment go to the link below.

While this is a major step forward, we still have several months of process to go. Once the comment period is over the Forest Service will review comments and work with several other government agencies preparing their final decision. The Final EIS and Record of Decision will follow, perhaps this Summer or Fall. Thanks to all of you that have supported us. Exciting times.
