uphill traffic update

just got off the phone after a long conversation with donnie clapp, a public relations employee at the resort.  they are definetely in a conversation about limiting uphill traffic, and are meeting sometime next week with usfs personnel.  they are strongly considering limiting uphill traffic to 6:30 am to 4:30 pm, toni matt only.  i offered many other possible solutions, and asked to him to strongly consider any way they could to maintain some uphill traffic after hours.  he was very cordial and said he would absolutely take my remarks to future meetings, but we will see how that goes.  he did not know how they would enforce it, but did not think this was going to be the problem. 

i don't really think bombarding donnie or becky smith powell (of the usfs) with calls is going to make a huge difference. perhaps emails would be a better choice.  but if you want to be involved, try to be constructive and even inovative.  just whining is not going to help and likely will hinder. 

pr@skiwhitefish.com  is donnie's email

brsmith@fs.fed.us  is becky's. 

i have asked both becky and donnie to keep me informed of thoughts, discussions and decisions, and i will keep the posts up to date and concise.  please let me know thoughts, concerns and ideas.  thanks. cbm
