Ski Resort in Sitka?

There should be a ski resort in Sitka for many reasons. A ski resort would bring more tourists to Sitka during the winter time. It will also give local families something to do in the winter. We could build in different phases, so we would start small and work towards a big resort. I believe there should be a ski resort in Sitka for the community.

The ski resort would bring tourists to Sitka in the winter time while helping local businesses. Today, we have very few tourists during winter, hotels, restaurants and other businesses would see an increase in profits. Currently people go skiing in Juneau and in Smithers, B.C. A ski resort would give people a reason to visit Sitka. The borough would see an increase in revenue from all the tourists and related businesses.

A ski resort will give local families something to do in the winter. During the winter most people are cooped up inside the house. Instead of playing video games or watching T.V. they could go skiing and tubing. Skiing is a fun activity and I believe people would enjoy having options that a ski resort would offer.

We could build in different phases by starting small, planning and building a ski resort one phase at a time. Instead of building a ski resort first, we could start with building a hill for tubing. Then clearing a hill and installing a rope tow lift which would pull people up while riding in an inner tube. Clearing a hill for tubing is inexpensive, and would be an easy way to make money. Then the second phase could be a cross country ski path by clearing and marking a trail. The ski path can be used during summer months by ATVs. Next phase would be building a ski lift and then the ski lodge. Working our way up is a good plan for building a ski resort.

I think building a ski resort in Sitka should happen. The ski resort would bring tourists to Sitka during the winter months. The ski resort would give everyone a new activity to do in Sitka. Finally, I believe we would have to work our way up to a ski resort because of the high cost. Building a ski resort in Sitka would be a good idea for the economy and the community.
