Your
Voice Matters!
Please
take the time to write or contact the USFS and others, you can
make a difference at Alpental!
Below is a list of individuals and organizations to contact
regarding the Master Development Plan and
free access to Alpental public land. Polite, yet strongly
worded snail-mail letters, which express your own experiences and
opinion work best. This is an intricate diplomatic process.
The more individuals who are willing to take a stand and express
their opinion, the more impact we will have. Although the
official comment period has ended on the DEIS, you can still contact
Sean Wetterberg swetterberg@fs.fed.us
before the Final Environmental Impact Statement and Record of
Decision are made. Booth Creek Ski Holdings Inc. enjoys the
privilege of operating on our public land as per their Special
Use Permit with the USFS, and Article F,
which maintains the public's right to peaceably
assemble on these lands and waters. Contrary to
disinformation currently circulating this winter, the upper
parking lots and the road to the upper lots are all public land
and should be free to the public to use. Please cc letters and
responses to freealpental.org
if you would like to be considered for publication on this website.
Thank you for your help and spread the word.

destroy this invisible government, to befoul the
