Homewood Alpine interconnect?

That's supposedly what stopped the Snow Summit - Bear Mt interconnect. If they just cut down all the trees killed by the pine bark beetle and the drought they would have most of the necessary clearing completed. |

Was he looking for "connect" info or "contact info" I'd like to interconnect with SPD the way Dickless Henry claims to. Must be afraid he will kill some spotted owls if he fesses up. Or perhaps the SPD officer he refers to is just about as likely to read this ******** as a spotted owl. Delighted to write another funny for ya, Dickless. |

Not close - miles apart, so I really doubt it. Maybe you saw reference to the bus service? From the Alpine website: "Alpine Meadows/Homewood Interconnect Weekends and Holidays Only. Homewood By appointment Sherwood By appointment Call (530) 525-xxxx " Alpine/Homewood are owned by the same company, which is now focused on a real estate development permits at Homewood, (which seems likely to be approved, strange for Tahoe area.) Alpine/Squaw interconnect is easily doable - half the required chairlift is in place, KT22 to the White Wolf area. Lacking is the will, and territorial ****ing contests between the three players: Squaw, Alpine, and the people who own the land between. FWIW I hope they fail to interconnect - nothing to be gained, much to lose. |

They have other problems, and the San Bernadino Mountains isn't known for its old growth forest. *The California Spotted Owl numbers have been declining since the early 1990s, but the concern is the logging in the Sierra Nevada,,, If they just cut down all the trees killed by the pine bark beetle and the drought they would have most of the necessary clearing completed. Dead trees still are important to a forest's health..given they offer things like for soil enrichment to shade for saplings. Anyway, My guess is that the connection between ski areas was stopped because the ski areas didn't own the land, and probably didn't wow the US Forest Service with their proposal. Soon after SS bought BM, the CEO was interviewed about plans for interconnecting the two areas. He blamed the concern over the owls. I'll see if I can dig up the article. All it would take is 2 lifts, one up each way from the saddle between the two trail networks. The bases are 2 miles apart by road and the closest trail-trail point is a little over a mile. http://maps.google.com/maps?q=big+be...ed=0CDQQ8gEwAA |

I just love those Spotted Owls. With the right gravy they are absolutely delicious. They taste a lot like Condor. Vote for Palin-Brown in 2012. Repeal the nightmares. |

Or catch them and ship them to Arizona, where I understand the California condors have been perfectly happy. And then there's the sighting of a rare bird nest fragment by a Federal specialist in rare bird in a pile of dirt left by a bulldozer, which caused a long delay (perhaps permanent) in the rebuilding of Highway 39, which has been closed for ~30 years. I fear for 330 :-( -- Cheers, Bev ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| If you're ever about to be mugged by a couple of clowns, don't hesitate - go for the juggler. |
