The Forest Service has released a supplemental draft environmental impact statement (EIS) analyzing three additional alternatives for the Mendenhall Recreation Area Master Plan. It is available for review on the project website (click here), with public comment due February 21, 2023. There will also be an open house at the Mendenhall Glacier Visitor Center on January 24, 2023 from 4:00 until 7:30 pm and a webinar on January 26, 2023 at 5:30 pm.
All interested skiers should review the supplemental EIS while the JNSC Board reviews and drafts further recommendations. Stay tuned for a formal reply from the JNSC.
