What we are "thinking":
A. Snowbird wants 416 acres of land in AFC, comprised of 5 parcels, 3 of which have motorized routes crossing and/or ending on them. In exchange, Snowbird is offering up land outside of AFC with zero motorized access and zero threat of loss of access by hikers, etc. This all done on a plan that was scoped to have 0% to do with AFC and Utah County and thus, wasn't on the radar of anyone involved in AFC and or Utah County. In fact until the final Mountain Accord plan came out, the parcels in AFC were not even publicly identified. Correct or no?
B. Snowbird has expressed interest since the 90's of having a tram, gondola or similar to Tibble Fork Reservoir, that directly from Mr. Bonar's mouth. More recently that same gondola was proposed to the State of Utah for study funding. That funding was granted albeit $100k which became the AFC Vision, chartered to study among other items... future transportation in the canyon i.e. the potential for a gondola. Correct or no?
C. Snowbird has systematically purchased land with existing and historical motorized access throughout the canyon including routes (Miller Hill) that in fact cross their land but return to public land, thus maintain a right-of-way for public users. Despite that ROW, they have signed it to threaten closure in the future. Correct or no?
D. Snowbird has signed part or all of their AFC holdings with "No Trespassing" signs, in fact hundreds of yards away from their current property borders. This confirmed by the Lone Peak 4x4 Club and the Forest Service in their site visit last month. It was reported by Snowbird that this was simply for over the snow traffic and all or part of the signs were removed as of yesterday. Correct or no?
