Aspen SkiCo Ski Areas Forest Health Project

Forest Supervisor Scott Fitzwilliams signed a decision notice and finding of no significant impact (FONSI) on December 9, 2011 approving Alternative 2 analyzed in the environmental assessment. Since no comments were received during the 30-day public comment period, the decision is not subject to administrative appeal. Implementation may occur immediately.
