Not the typical land use for the 4x4 scene. But love it or hate it, the decisions being made will likely alter our use of the canyon for our lifetime. Public comment period is almost over.

Both as a user of the canyon and former law/traffic enforcement of the canyon i'm adamantly opposed to either of these silly ideas to give more business to snowbird especially if i'm paying for it. Not only that I don't want to look at a gondola regardless of where I am in the canyon. The monstrosity on top of the ridge I can see from my house in the valley is bad enough. I'll get off my soap box now and hope that you share your opinion either way.

I’ve already commented. Of course snowbird and Alta are on board. They stand to profit hugely. I don’t think those of us against it will have an impact unfortunately. At the very least Alta and snowbird should be on the hook for 100% of the cost to build and operate.

While I hope my comments matter, I'm doubtful this will derail their plans for the gondola. Follow the money to those that will benefit and they'll do everything they can to get it through. Really sad.

If anyone is for this project, I honestly would love to hear your side as to why you support it.

If there's any upside to a gondala, it's mountain bike shuttles to the top of LCC.

But I'd rather we didn't have anything, and if we HAVE to have something I'd rather the resorts paid for it, or at least the specific individuals using it, which amounts to the same thing in the end. Pretty certain I'm going to be disappointed on both counts.

Sneaky deal snowbird bought the property where gondola will start last year. So they will have to sell it to state for gondola. So they get to profit off property then get transportation for their business paid for by tax payers

I don't know of any trails top to bottom LCC, but I have done zero research on it.

As far as Snowbird buying the property where it starts, I heard that this week along with one of the big proponents owning property where a parking lot will be paved. I feel it's dirty dirty dirty and that's why I said follow the money of who benefits. It isn't the tax payers and it isn't the canyon users...
