Burton’s poaching program states that two of the resorts are on federal forest land. Which ones are these? Please give me a source.

    Well, the three left are: Alta, UT; Deer Valley, Utah; and Mad River Glen, VT. Taos recently opened, so I’m not sure if they sit on public land, and it really doesn’t matter anymore since they decided to open to snowboarders.

    Alta is the only one I know of that sits on public lands. They get a permit from the Forest Service who gets money from Congress, who gets the money from our tax dollars. So in essence, we’re paying for it.

    Deer Valley is on private land, and MRG is owned by a cooperative. What that is exactly, I’m not sure. It could mean public lands, but I’m not sure.

    “A cooperative owns Mad River Glen-the business and the land it operates on. The Mad River Glen Cooperative is associated with Vermont Cooperative, which describes the values of a cooperative this way:

    Cooperatives are based on the values of self-help, self-responsibility, democracy, equality, equity and solidarity. In the tradition of their founders, cooperative members believe in the ethical values of honesty, openness, social responsibility and caring for others.” (Transworld Snowboarding, March 08 issue, Pg 28.)

    There, I typed the part about cooperatives all out for you. You’re welcome. R4L
