| I too attended
while i agree with alot of what local BC users said, I don't see how the state or GMC could really do anything else, IT HAS ALREADY BEEN SKIED, and is a damn beacon for anyone getting off the tram, while most who go out to the basin are respectful, there is even more who could give a rats ass, especially if they are told they shouldn't do it, you can still ski in from 242, you can still ski in the basin, you just can't access it from the ridge line, not that anyone will stop you.
I really hope the state/GMC makes the effort to get the scientific data on erosion and envoirmental impact, they need to do more than just put up a fence and say stay off the line, I hope it is a busy year for them
I also thought the picture comparison of big jay basin from the early 90's to today was quite revealing - put aside the chainsaw cut and the amount of snipping done for the past decade has really f'ed up the land |
