Please note, while I have described a potentially bleak picture, there seems to be an honest appeal to gain information from users by the MBSNF for the purpose of developing the best possible outcomes.
Those outcomes do depend on the input gained from various users and user groups. What does appear to be important is that the more input that is received from individuals, the less input from single interest groups would be weighted. This is not to say that those groups will not exert influence, but the statistical input from individuals will play a significant role.
All us folks in TAYville have a wealth of experience in many of the elements being considered in this information gathering phase, we should not let that experience be wasted by not stepping up to the plate and contributing.
Fact: the MBSNF wants data...
Fact: the funds for road maintenance are shrinking...
Fact: TAY skiers have loads of experience to direct towards MBSNF road planning...
Fact: TAY skiers will go batshit-crazy if they lose access!
Assumption: TAY skiers will tip the scales for winter access!
