Many ski resorts across the country are partially or fully located in public spaces, However, including 12 commercial downhill areas and four commercial cross-country ski areas in the White River National Forest. Each ski resort pays user fees based on its revenue from the use of public land. These user fees are comparable to the land rents received by private landowners. So, These costs are transferred directly to the Federal Treasury.
Firstly, In addition to land use fees, ski resorts are invited to prepare master development plans (PDM) detailing the existing. And desired conditions for the ski resort and proposed improvements to areas of the national forest system in the license limit. These plans help ski resorts formulate their long-term vision for the use of public spaces and help forest managers to anticipate future uses. The plans provide local governments, other authorities, and the public with information about possible long-term plans that could affect them.
