<br><br>Edit:<br>The initial discussion of a Mt. Adams ski resort is here:<br> www.turns-all-year.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB...splay;num=1095144926 <br>Charles

"Dave Riley, vice president and general manager for Mt. Hood Meadows, said he believes the idea is not yet dead. Mount Adams is a wonderful location for a destination resort and the idea just needs more time to draw support, he said.<br><br>'In my mind, it's still up in the air,' he said. 'We're going to continue to work with the Yakama Nation and provide additional information to them so they can continue to consider the development.'"<br><br><br>f*****g c********r.<br><br>edit: this post simply expresses my displeasure at the well-greased and soulless corporate capitalism perpetrated upon our dwindling pristine wilderness.  Riley's comments force me to conclude that he is merely a subhuman vessel for the investment capital that tears blindly into the wilderness like a forest fire.

f*****g c********r.

<br><br>I'd like to solve the puzzle, Pat...<br><br>In a related vein, does anyone know of an online source of the letters to the editor they cited? Not a reader of the PI, nor of the Yakima Herald Republic for that matter, I have not seen any but am interested. A cursory search didn't reveal much.<br>-s<br>

DAVE RILEY CAN GO TO HELL!!! We don't need any more f*****g ski resorts or places of materialism. Money, it's the root of all f****** sh** whore type evil.

Uh. Like yeah. Like what Donnelly said. And stuff. Y'know?

I'm disappointed. I thought a tactfully placed resort on Adams was a good idea. It would offer Portland area skiers more terrain, less crowds, better backcountry access to currently unused areas of Adams and would alleviate pressure for further development on Mt Hood. <br><br>All the posters here seem to be Seattle skiers who have no understanding of the crowding and limited terrain issues that face Portland skiers. I hope you all have fun skiing Crystal, Stevens, Snoqualmie, Baker this year--oh and making your once-a-year trip to enjoy the "pristine wilderness" on the south rib of Adams. <br><br>And sorry Lowell, I don't have a vested interest in the resort. How can you criticize anyone for posting anonymous given the confrontational and contemptuous attitude of the above posters?<br>
