Yosemite ski resort needs repairs, public input
File photo. By Associated PressYOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK, Calif. (AP) - National Park Service officials are asking the public for suggestions that could be incorporated into renovation of the state's first lodge-based ski resort at Badger Pass. The decaying foundation of the 1935-era Swiss chalet has made repairs necessary. But balancing historic preservation with modern conveniences and safety standards is the challenge. Currently the cross-country ski rental shop is housed in a doublewide trailer in the parking lot. Expanding the lodge to make room for rentals would change its design character. A new building also might affect sensitive meadows. A spokesman says the park could spend $30 million on the project. Copyright 2009 The Associated Press. |
