Badger Pass Ski Lodge Rehabilitation Environmental Assessment


The Badger Pass Ski Lodge Rehabilitation Environmental Assessment is available for public review and comment through July 7, 2010. Yosemite National Park proposes to provide a phased program for rehabilitation of the Badger Pass Ski Lodge.

The environmental assessment analyzes four alternatives and their potential impacts. The No Action Alternative represents continuing the existing operation and maintenance of the ski lodge (i.e., comprehensive rehabilitation would not occur). Three action alternatives represent a reasonable range of options to satisfy the purpose of and need for the project, while meeting relevant legal requirements. Alternative 2-Essential Repairs and Upgrades, includes rehabilitation of the lodge within the current building envelope involving minimal action to fulfill the basic project needs for repair and code upgrades. Alternative 3-Rehabilitation and Improvements, includes addressing needs for repair, code upgrades, and operational and visitor service improvements while maintaining existing historic integrity (environmentally- and agency-preferred alternative). Alternative 4-Emphasize Historic Character, includes a rehabilitation approach in which the original 1935 ski lodge would be restored to prominence and the non-historic buildings would be replaced with new, more efficient facilities with maximum benefit to operational and visitor service. An analysis of the potential environmental impacts of each alternative and mitigation measures to avoid or minimize those impacts are presented.
