Increase flexibility and capacity for managing recreation resources to meet shifting demands

Approach

Tactics

Develop creative budget strategies to support longer/overlapping use seasons; pursue additional grant funding and partnerships and opportunities for new fees (e.g. something similar to Adventure Pass, parking fees)
Increase flexibility for year-round use of facilities; redevelop/harden/mitigate existing or new sites (e.g. integrate summer uses into ski areas operations); pave access roads for winter and wet uses; install gates or other access control where snow no
Leverage local partnerships to assist with management of recreation facilities (e.g. develop partnerships with local government, other agencies, tribes, and user groups, non-governmental organizations; promote trail adoption; facilitate local economic development.

Sensitivity

• Changes in recreation use patterns (year-round seasons for non-snow activities/ shift in snow-dependent activities/ changes in uses types and demand).

Strategy

Increase management flexibility and adapt strategies to new conditions
