RANGE OF ALTERNATIVES <br /> <br />a, Alternative A: No Action <br /> <br />As required by NEPA, a no action alternative was included as a benchmark against <br />which the action alternatives can be compared. It also served as a vehicle for <br />analyzing the effects of no future development within the permit area. <br />Alternative A would not provide for upgrading or expansion of existing facilities <br />and both the ski operation and summer uses would remain status quo, The SAOT <br />capacity would remain at 9,940 skiers per day, with a peak capacity of 10,930 <br />SAOT, <br /> <br />In the short term, the East Village site would remain in its undeveloped state. <br />In the long term, it is assumed that the site would be developed. <br /> <br />b. Alternative B <br /> <br />Alternative B would have provided for upgrading existing ski area facilities and <br />terrain within the current developed portion of the permit area (Baldy Mountain) . <br />No expansion would take place onto Burnt Mountain, and the East Village access <br />portal would not be developed. A single-stage gondola would carry passengers <br />from the base Village area to the top of Sam's Knob area. The ski area's <br />capacity would be increased from 9,940 to 11,270 skier per day (SAOT) through the <br />installation of new lifts, replacement of existing lifts with lifts of higher <br />capacity, and the development of new ski terrain and support facilities. Summer <br />recreational opportunities would be expanded within the Baldy Mountain portion <br />of the permit area. <br /> <br />c. Alternative E <br /> <br />Alternative E would have provided for the maximum development of the Snowmass Ski <br />Area considered in the FEIS. The existing ski facilities within the Baldy <br />Mountain portion of the permit area would be upgraded, the ski area would be <br />expanded onto Burnt Mountain and a second access portal established at East <br />Village, Access to Burnt Mountain would be provided by a two-stage gondola that <br />would originate in Base Village and terminate near the summit of ~urnt Mountain. <br />Two high-speeq lifts would serve upper Burnt Mountain. Additional ski trails <br />would be included to connect the upper Burnt Mountain trail systems with the East <br />Village portal, A second gondola would be developed to provide an aerial link <br />between the Snowmass Ski Area and Tiehack Mountain. A mid-station would be <br />located at the eastern Snowmass permit boundary and provide optional alignments <br />to either the Burnt Mountain summit or Cafe Suzanne. <br /> <br />Summary . 9 <br /> <br />
