I realize the heliski conversation is an emotional topic but I’m encouraged to see folks moving past their opinions and starting to realize some basic facts. Allowing Stellar to operate its own business will not increase the number of helicopters or skiers. They have been here all along and represent a valuable contribution to our local economy during the winter. I know my business at the Funny Farm depends on Stellar. Without Stellar my doors will not open this winter. I hope that we can all look past the false argument that our mountains will suddenly become too crowded. Stellar has proven that they have highly experienced guides and can operate safely. Now is not the time to turn away good folks that have been supporting our community for many, many years. I hope you will join me in supporting and stabilizing the industry by amending code. Thank you.
