Ski Area

Establishing or expanding a ski resort presents a blizzard of business challenges—not to mention mountains of regulatory obstacles. An Endangered Species Act or watershed conflict can stop a project cold.
The Stoel Rives Ski Area Team unites a multidisciplinary group of attorneys to help you navigate this tricky regulatory terrain. Our experience spans the western United States, including projects in Utah, California, Idaho, Wyoming, Oregon, Washington, and Alaska. In addition to our broad geographic reach through eight regional offices, we bring the resources of our broader environmental and land use practice to bear on numerous substantive areas connected to ski resorts and ski-related businesses:

  • NEPA compliance and litigation
  • National Forest Management Act and related special-use permitting
  • Land use (master plans, zoning, property division, land exchange, etc.)
  • Labor and employment
  • Clean Water Act and wetland issues
  • Endangered Species Act
  • CERCLA and RCRA
  • Water rights and water supply issues
  • Wilderness designations
  • National Historic Preservation Act
  • Tribal issues
  • U.S. Olympics issues
  • General commercial and personal injury litigation
  • Construction and design issues, etc.
  • Residential-subdivision and mixed-use resort development

We are immersed in the regulatory minutiae that impact the ski industry and can provide the far-sighted counsel necessary to keep your operation on the cutting edge.
