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

Jkt 223001
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).
