Comments on: Eagle Council Approves Snow Park https://boiseguardian.com/2013/08/27/eagle-council-approves-snow-park/ A different slant on the news. Fri, 13 Sep 2013 15:56:18 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Don https://boiseguardian.com/2013/08/27/eagle-council-approves-snow-park/#comment-63382 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 15:56:18 +0000 https://boiseguardian.com/?p=10270#comment-63382 @Stefan, maybe you are missing the point? Said council critters are attempting to give away public property to a private entity. Eagle does not represent everyone who will be negatively affected by this. I see this as political thievery without representation.

Hopefully, once again, our county commissioners will put a stop to the theft of our property.

Planet Snow is a very successful at what they do. the mountain biking area and Skate park will remain FREE to the public as far as we have been told. The plan is to turn a large excavated hole into a nineteen million-gallon reservoir. This reservoir would be used for snow making in the winter and wakeboarding and fire suppression in the summer. As part of the IMPROVEMENTS, the company also would repair the skateboarding park and improve mountain bike trails. there will be staff at the facility to coach and maintain this park. go check out http://www.planetbuilt.com/#storylink=relast the company builds terrain park equipment for major resorts all around the country. People should be happy that the youth in the area will have something positive to spend there time doing rather than getting into trouble. Not only that but all the old farts that want to ski up at bogus wont have to put up with as many snowboarders or teenagers, and will help with the size of the lift lines on the weekends.Lets face it bogus only get about 200” a year on a good year that’s garbage compared to any real destination resort. Don’t fear change people embrace it.

If not, why is Eagle making this decision instead of the county?

EDITOR NOTE–Not sure about either answer. However, a meeting is now scheduled between Eagle and Ada officials soon.

Bogus Basin. I wonder what the Bogus Basin people think about this?

If they can get it thru by jumping thru all the hoops on the projected timetable it will be a minor miracle. Not to say project should not be vetted.
