Ski Resort, Sun Valley, Idaho, 1993

"Another bargain from Uncle Sam, cheap user fees help ski resorts profit off federally owned slopes, like those in the Sawtooth National Forest around Sun Valley. Basking in steam-heated pools, few visitors realize they are surrounded by federal land."

—From "Federal Lands: New Showdowns in the Old West," February 1994, National Geographic magazine
