this need, as well as providing an 

attractive option for utilization of wood 

products from forest management 

projects and associated economic 

benefits. 

5. To maintain adequate snow 

coverage in specific high-traffic areas. 

Early-season snow coverage is often 

inadequate on several key trails on the 

central part of the ski mountain. 

Improved snow coverage is needed to 

alleviate these deficiencies. The 

proposed expansion of the existing 

snowmaking system addresses this 

need. 

6. To provide additional summer 

recreational opportunities. The resort 

currently has only one dedicated hiking 

trail and one mountain bike trail, 

located in the base and Nordic areas. 

Increased hiking and biking 

infrastructure is needed to meet 

demand, increase year-round utilization 

of resort resources and infrastructure, 

and to provide downhill mountain 

biking opportunities on the Forest. The 

proposed hiking trails, mountain bike 

park, interpretive areas, zipline course, 

and rock climbing structure address this 

need. 

Proposed Action. The Proposed 

Action can be summarized as follows: 

Eastside Pod: 

• Developing the new Eastside 

Express chairlift and associated trails. 

The lift would be a detachable-grip, 

quadruple lift about 6,800 feet long with 

a capacity of 2,400 persons per hour 

(pph). 

• Constructing a new catchline at a 

lower elevation and selective thinning 

above the new catchline. 

Sunrise Area: 

• Replacing the Rainbow lift in a 

shortened alignment. The alignment 

would be shortened by about 40 percent 

to 3,150 feet. The current Sunshine 

Express lift, a detachable quad with a 

capacity of 1,800 pph, would replace 

the existing fixed-grip lift. 

• Replacing the Sunshine Express lift, 

a detachable quad rated at 1,800 pph, 

with a new detachable six-place lift 

with a capacity of 2,800 pph. 

• Developing the Sunrise Learning 

Center, the venue for the resort’s 

children’s ski school program, that 

would include dedicated space in the 

remodeled Sunrise Lodge, carpet lifts on 

adjacent ‘‘bunny hills,’’ and a forested 

kids ‘‘adventure zone.’’ 

• Improving Sunrise base area skier 

services, including a new 18,000 to 

25,000 square foot lodge and a 115 

percent expansion of the parking lot 

with a new access road. 

• Constructing a 125,000-gallon 

buried water reservoir to provide 

adequate storage for the new lodge and 

associated facilities. 

• Doubling the capacity of the 

existing Sunrise base area wastewater 

treatment system, particularly the drain 

field. 

• Installing a restroom facility near 

the base of Skyliner Express. 

West Village Area: 

• Shortening the Red Chair by 

roughly 25 percent to 3,000 feet, and 

constructing the Alpine Training Center 

to house the resort’s alpine racing 

program. 

• Adding 25.4 acres to the resort’s 

snowmaking coverage by expanding the 

existing snowmaking system onto five 

adjacent ski trails. 

• Removing outdated West Village 

buildings (the ski patrol/administration 

building and the generator building) and 

expanding the West Village Lodge by 

about 7,000 square feet. 

• Moving the tubing hill across the 

parking lot to the ‘‘Old Maid’’ area. 

• Developing a new 2.5-acre 

employee/overflow parking lot. 

• Constructing a biomass cogeneration facility to provide electrical 

power and steam heat. It would be 

located near the existing maintenance 

building and fuel storage area. 

Nordic Center: 

• Making minor improvements to the 

Nordic Center infrastructure, including 

a 2-acre learning area, two new trails to 

access the existing trail network, and 

refurbishing Bob’s Bungalow, including 

a new deck and fire pit. 

Summer Activities: 

• New hiking trails from Pine Marten 

Lodge to West Village, from the lodge to 

the top of Northwest Express lift, and 

around an interpretive loop above the 

lodge. 

• A mountain bike park including a 

skills area near the base of Pine Marten 

Express lift and a series of beginner, 

intermediate, and advanced downhill 

trails accessed from the top of the lift. 

• A canopy tour zipline course with 

three segments from Pine Marten Lodge 

down to West Village. 

• A rock climbing structure at Pine 

Marten Lodge. 

Issues. Preliminary issues include the 

effect of the Proposed Action on 

potential wilderness (the Eastside pod 

would be adjacent to an inventoried 

roadless area), special status plant and 

wildlife species including the northern 

spotted owl and several fungi, and 

visual quality, particularly as viewed 

from the Cascade Lakes Scenic Byway. 

Additional Opportunities for Public 

Involvement. A Draft EIS will be filed 

with the Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) and is projected to be 

released for public review in March 

2012. The EPA will publish a Notice of 

Availability (NOA) of the Draft EIS in 

the Federal Register, opening a 45-day 

period for comment on that document; 

the DNF will then publish a legal notice 

in the newspaper of record, The Bulletin 

in Bend, OR, announcing the date of the 

Federal Register notice. 

The Final EIS and Record of Decision 

(ROD) are scheduled to be released in 

February 2013. The ROD will include 

responses to all substantive comments 

received on the Draft EIS. The EPA will 

publish a Notice of Availability (NOA) 

of the Final EIS in the Federal Register, 

and the DNF will publish a legal notice 

in the newspaper of record, opening a 

45-day period for administrative appeal 

of the decision documented in the ROD 

(36 CFR part 215).
