The lower system can be operated as one unit or separately. <br />Separate operation will allow the Forest Service to condition (or restrict) <br />seasonal use of the facility as outlined below. This gondola was described and <br />analyzed in FEIS Alternatives E and G. Associated with this gondola I I authorize <br />a warming hut facility (not to exceed 3,000 sq. ft.) that will include restrooms <br />and ski patrol staging, but no restaurant, at the gondola I s upper terminal. This <br />facility was studied as part of FEIS Alternative F. The new development of the <br />Cafe Suzanne/Mid-mountain complex will include multiple buildings totaling <br />approximately 25,000 sq. ft. (excluding the gondola drive station and cabin <br />storage structure) as described in FEIS Alternative G. Several small "specialty" <br />restaurants will be built with a maximum of 850 restaurant seats. One building <br />in the mid-mountain complex will house an interpretive/environmental center with <br />displays and information about local flora, fauna, ecosystems I and historic and <br />prehistoric cultural information. This center will be conveniently and <br />prominently located to serve all visitors. <br /> <br />DISCUSSION <br /> <br />The EIS has demonstrated that Burnt Mountain offers excellent ski terrain that <br />logically should be part of the Snowmass Ski Area. A high-speed gondola to the <br />summit of Burnt Mountain will provide the visitor with an efficient, comfortable <br />means of accessing the entire Burnt Mountain area and the eastern side of the Elk <br />Camp pod. Skiers will be provided with a beautiful 360-degree view which <br />includes the Maroon Bells. In addition, the EIS disclosed that Burnt Mountain <br />has limited capacity that could be exceeded if too many skiers were delivered to <br />the summit. This would occur if more than one high capacity out-of-base lift <br />terminated on the summit. <br /> <br />Page . 9 <br /> <br />RECORD OF DECISION <br /> <br />" <br />
