Bridger Bowl expansion. approved

hiking along the south side to access slushmans will start at the bottom of
the south boundary bowl. still quite a hike. easily an hour, unless you're
in really great shape, and the bootpack is good. no access to the south
boundary along the ridge. that's my understanding anyways. it stops
where it always had stopped. i'm not exactly sure where the hiking will
start on the north boundary to access "the ramp".

As far as I'm concerned, this is a crux of the issue:

However, five local environmentalists disagreed and appealed the Gallatin officials' decision.

What's wrong with our system when five...count 'em, five...local activists can cause a costly appeal to a decision that was otherwise approved? Ya know, my favorite beech tree is threatened...maybe I should join 'em?
