President Barack Obama has signed Sen. Mark Udall’s Ski Area Recreational Opportunity Enhancement Act into law.
The new law slightly changes the 1986 National Forest Ski Area Permit Act, allowing the U.S. Forest Service to more easily consider and permit a broader range of ski-resort activities on federal land beyond just skiing. The agency now has legislative direction to consider such activities as mountain biking, zip lines and concerts on federal land.
