Ski Hill Resources for Economic Development Act of 2023
This bill establishes a special "Ski Area Fee Retention Account" to manage fees collected from ski areas operating on National Forest System land. It requires 80% of these fees to stay at the specific forest unit where the ski area is located (75% for program administration and visitor services, 25% for facility maintenance), with 20% available for broader Forest Service recreation projects. Funds can be used for activities like trail maintenance, visitor signage, avalanche education, and facility repairs but cannot cover wildfire suppression or land acquisition. The bill ensures these fees supplement, not replace, existing funding for forest units.
