Environmental Damage at Cannon Mountain Ski Area

[Cannonball]

I remember my first trip through the 'official' Kinsman glade. Involved at at least 2 sections that incorporated a 5-6'drop into a ducked landing under a 3-4' high log. Steeplechase for sure. It's been cleaned up a lot since.

It's funny. I've been skiing down and passed some unhappy hikers. I've been hiking up and passed some unhappy skiers. I've been happy in both directions. 'You can please some people sometimes......"

Where is the precedence for the fines when it comes to ski areas?

I listed some then in post #76 of this thread.

Here is the latest Jay Peak fine. This one was federal rather than Vermont Act 250:

AY — Vermont’s Jay Peak resort has agreed to pay $80,000 in fines to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for illegally filling in wetlands and streams when it was building a golf course between 2004 and 2006.

The EPA says the improper work by a construction company working at the resort affected wetlands and streams feeding the Jay Branch Brook, which flows into the Missisquoi River, a tributary of Lake Champlain.
