Eden • A proposed heliport at a Utah ski resort is raising concerns about environmental impact and other issues, a report said.
SMHG Village Development has applied for a conditional use permit to operate a heliport at Powder Mountain, The Standard-Examiner reported Sunday.
The facility would house a helicopter to haul skiers, mountain bikers and anglers to remote areas of the resort 59 miles north of Salt Lake City.
"We would like to be clear in stating that prior to any of our operations we proactively and carefully examine our private land with regard to environmental concerns," said Whisper Ridge Creative Director Pete Tapley.
