Mountains are the home of significant ecological resources -
wildlife habitat, higher elevation plant systems, steep slopes,
delicate soils and water systems. These resources are subject to
very visible and growing pressures, most of which are caused by the
unique features of mountains. Using as case studies four mountain
resorts in the US and Canada, this book analyzes the extent to
which the law protects the ecological systems of mountains from the
adverse impacts associated with the development, operation and
expansion of resorts. In order to examine these issues, Mountain
Resorts takes an interdisciplinary approach, with contributions
from ecologists and lawyers who focus on ski-related activities,
increasing four-season use of the mountains and expanding
residential, commercial and recreational development at the
mountains' base. Its analysis of an array of US and Canadian
federal, state and local laws provides a multifaceted exploration
of the intersection of ecology and the law at mountain resorts.
