Alta Expansion: ADD YOUR OWN SHOTS.

We in the Backcountry community love the town of Alta, and the ski area too. However, this album shows some of the Wasatch we will lose to ticket holders and development if the Alta expansion to FLAGSTAFF MOUNTAIN goes through. Areas affected include all of the upper part of Cottonwood Ridge, Days Fork, Silver Fork, Cardiff and Mill D, Mount Superior.

This is not a skier's issue. Hiker will also find that the lift will have a summer access road, and will most likely introduce mountain biking etc., into this area. This is a yearround chairlift. It will be permanent, and most likely (to be cost effective and "modern") will be a quad-chair.

I'll add addresses and and contact info for you to get involved. There will be several events will be scheduled throughout this year to raise awareness of the town, city, and area owners of our concerns and goals, so please stay tuned.

Thanks for your support. Check these shots out, !ADD YOUR OWN! and GET ACTIVE!!

You can make a difference by writing letters to the mayor of the town of Alta (Tom Pollard) and the Alta Ski Lifts Director (Onno Wieringa) and sending them to the addresses below.

Onno Wieringa
PO Box 8007
