DENVER—A bill that makes it clear that ski resorts are not just for winter activities has been signed by President Barack Obama.
The Ski Area Recreation Opportunity Enhancement Act approved Monday allows special exemptions for downhill mountain biking trails, zip lines and disc golf courses.
Current federal laws only allow ski-related activities on U.S. Forest Service land leased to resorts.
Agriculture Department Undersecretary Harris Sherman tells the Summit Daily News ( ) the new law will bring hundreds of thousands more visitors throughout the year to national forests.
