Small ski resort proposed for Cache County

 (Salt Lake Tribune) Cache County officials are in the early stages of considering a proposal to build a small ski area.

Developer John Chadwick has submitted a conditional-use application to the county planning commission, seeking to create Rainey Ranch in Cherry Creek Canyon northeast of Richmond.

Like most such proposals, Chadwick's plan was greeted with concerns and objections, voiced by conservation and citizen groups as well as Richmond City.

Their common concern is the potential impact of a ski resort on two Cherry Creek Canyon springs that provide drinking water for Richmond.
