https://www.change.org/p/town-of-alta-make-chad-s-gap-a-historical-landmark

With alta ski area wanting to put a lift over chads gap to get to deer valley, who knows what they would do with it.

Sign the petition and show alta and the town of alta this pile of dirt should stick around forever.

It's a good idea, but I don't think the government will consider it a historic landmark because it does not have "significant historic assets". In the skiing community it is obviously historic, but I doubt it will be considered that on a large scale.

A better idea would be to create a petition for Alta/Deer Valley to agree that they will not destroy (blow up) Chap's Gap.

the only reason i think chads is in jeopardy is because its literally the easiest way out of grizzly gulch, it airs over the road to access the place. alta just took out an old pile of rocks because it was blocking the intermediate piste. the times are a changing.

We're actually working towards making the entire Wasatch into a National Monument to mitigate development. So interesting topic considering.

And the lift would not link Alta to Deer Valley per se, it would connect Little Cottonwood to Big Cottonwood as a part of the entire "ONE" wasatch development plan.

deer valet owns solitude, which is big cottonwood canyon. its probably only a matter of time before they buy brighton and run a monopoly on wasatch one.

the echoing sound of tanners ankles breaking should never be disrupted by a chairlift

In order for ONE wasatch to happen it has to be a multilateral decision between all the resorts at play, the state, and federal government. Surely the umbrella companies that own resorts have their eyes on more resorts but there are many other factors at play than just buying resorts and putting up chairlifts.

Although, I have heard the chair lift is already built and in storage so...

How easy is it to get something designated as a site of religious importance?

Chads Gap is the site of Tanner Hall's sermon on the landing during the first resurrection of our jahstafarian idol.

snowbird has a road built to the bookends. they arent building that road for shits and giggles. if alta didnt spend all their money on snowcats and snowmaking the lift would already be in to twin lakes pass. things are changing.

That and Candide's Christening of Chad's. This cross may have been divinely inspired and may have religious significance:
