I had this brought to my attention today:

I am very against this. I remember being able to 4x4 all the way to the end of Mineral Basin during the summer. When Snowbird expanded a lift over the mountain into that area, no trespassing signs popped up everywhere denying access into that beautiful bowl. The same thing will happen with an expansion into Mary Ellen Gulch. My buddy and I make a trip or two every summer up to Mary Ellen Gulch. There are some cool mines and turn of the century (or earlier) adobe buildings and cabins up there. I'm certain all that access would be lost. I serve on a committee with Carl at Save Our Canyons and have left a message for him to call me. I don't agree with everything they stand for or do, but their position seems to be the same as mine on this issue.
