There is another thread about this in the access forum. F*ck Riley. It's a shitty plan anyway, it's too far away from population centers, the terrain is uninteresting, and lifts above treeline will almost never run due to weather hazards.
But of course, as was the case with the Cooper Spur proposal, the real money-making comes from all the other shit they want to build, including golf courses and casinos, under the guise of building a "ski resort." Hey, why not shut all the lifts down, then everybody will have to go and gamble. What an asshole. If he wants to make a crapload of money then fine, but he doesn't have to permenantly fuck up the second-highest volcano in the state in the process.
