Please be advised: The Destin, Florida business "Exquisite Properties" which is seeking county approval to develop Sunlight suggest in all their literature that the high-density housing development planned for the mountain is necessary to fund the mountain improvements. However, there is no solid proposal for those improvements in the actual development plans. Without a bond for such improvements there is no guarantee that there would be any new lifts, trail improvements, etc. Additionally, there are many issues around this development, including water and land resources, hazardous mountain two-lane road traffic, remoteness and density of the community taxing fire department and other community resources, and as stated above, no guarantee that any mountain improvements will be implemented. Because of these issues, and more, both the Glenwood Springs City Council and the Garfield County Planning Commission have recommended to the Garfield County Commissioners that they NOT approve the plans. If you hope for a future of great skiing on Sunlight, please let the developers and county officials know that you cannot be fooled by their implication that they will make improvements. Insist that these improvements be put into the plans and guaranteed.
