As a local Utah skier, I have witnessed the growing issue of overcrowding at our major ski resorts. The charm and accessibility of our beloved mountains are being overshadowed by high lift ticket prices and corporate takeovers such as Epic/Ikon. When I first heard about the development of Wasatch Peaks Ranch, my initial excitement quickly turned to disappointment upon learning that it was intended for private use only.

Many Morgan County residents share this sentiment, expressing strong opposition to the privatization of our natural resources. We believe that Wasatch Peaks Ranch has the potential to be an exceptional public ski area, enhancing Utah's ski scene while offering breathtaking views and scenery far removed from its current moneyed vibe.

Wasatch Peaks Ranch receives an impressive 400 inches of snow annually - that should be enjoyed by all, not just a privileged few. By making it public, we can ensure fair access for everyone while alleviating congestion at other popular neighboring resorts.

We urge Morgan County officials to halt construction on the private resort and instead consider transforming Wasatch Peaks Ranch into a public ski area. This is not just about preserving our landscape; it's about fostering community spirit and ensuring equitable access to one of nature's most beautiful playgrounds.

Sign this petition if you believe in making Wasatch Peaks Ranch accessible for all!
