In an effort to squeak through another ten years of hellish heliskiing in the Wasatch, the Forest Service has allowed for a very short comment period on their Scoping Document.
DON’T DELAY! Write them today and let them you how you feel about having the WPG bomb the Wasatch to bits until 2020!
Here are some writing notes from Bill Lockhart. Thanks Bill!
Through Dec. 19, written comment may be submitted to comments-intermtn-wasatch-cache-saltlake@fs.fed.us, or on paper (from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday) to Acting District Ranger Melissa Hearst, Salt Lake Ranger District, 6944 S. 3000 East, Salt Lake, UT 84121. The fax number is 801-733-2684
WPG President Rusty Dassing should just learn to keep his mouth shut, but he can’t seem to help himself. In an article published today (Dec 3, 2008) in the Salt Lake Tribune, Rusty issued his own personal “Mission Accomplished!” statement in regards to the PENDING Forest Service Scoping review:
“The community as a whole welcomes this opportunity. They should be happy to have one of the great heli-skiing companies and the great skiing opportunities in the country right here,”
WPG is one of the great heli-skiing companies in the country?
If that isn’t enough to make you want to write a letter of complaint, he followed it up with:
“there is a lot more controversy than actual conflict”
That can be easily fixed.
