These 14 permits are for concessionaires and <br />ski-based resort operators. Alternative E provides for the annual administration of 134 <br />permits to standard, or 39 percent of the Forest's existing recreation permits. <br /> <br />Dispersed recreation includes motorized and non-motorized activities outside of <br />developed areas. Alternative F provides the most summer and winter motorized <br />opportunities; Alternative I provides the most summer and winter non-motorized <br />opportunities. Because dispersed capacity depends on the ROS classes available and <br />the transportation system, Alternative I has the lowest capacity outside of Wilderness, <br />followed by Aiternatives D, C, E, F and B. <br /> <br />Because dispersed use is projected to increase in all alternatives, summer capacity <br />outside of Wilderness may be reached within the planning period in all alternatives. <br />Alternative C provides for more dispersed campsites, approximately three percent of <br />known campsites, to be rehabilitated or reconstructed annually, followed by Alternatives <br />E, D, B, I and F. <br /> <br />Wilderness capacity depends on the ROS classes and trail systems provided under each <br />alternative. Alternative I provides the most capacity, followed by Alternatives C and F. B, <br />E and D. Current use projections indicate that Wildemess capacity would not be reached <br />within the planning period in any alternative. <br /> <br />Trails provide the opportunity to experience backcountry settings, get away from traffic <br />and crowding. find solitude, and test survival skills. Under the experienced budget level, <br />the amount of annual trail maintenance conducted outside of Wilderness ranges from <br />466 miles in Alternative E to 187 miles in Alternative F. Inside Wilderness, Alternative C <br />provides the most annual trail maintenance at 742 miles, and Alternative F provides the <br />least annual trail maintenance at 171 miles. Alternative E provides the most trail miles <br />reconstructed or constructed inside (10 miles) and outside (12 miies) Wilderness. <br /> <br /> <br />-- 28 - <br />
