Vail Pass
The BSA has worked for many years with Forest Service representatives, motorized advocacy groups, other users, and concerned citizens to develop an equitable management plan for the Vail Pass area. The compromise creates separate and shared areas for motorized and non-motorized use and establishes non-motorized zones around the huts. Use separation is now enforceable through a formal Forest Supervisor's Order. Though there are still some encroachments of non-motorized areas by snowmobilers, there is much more respect between users, and there are some quiet, untracked areas where human-powered recreationists can enjoy.
