I haven't visited the demonstration site, so I don't know the exact location, but I know that it's not on the Haystack in the High Peaks. APSA has led a bunch of interested parties to the demo site, so you might contact them directly (their website is linked above) to arrange a site visit.<br /><br />Regarding the proposal document, APSA is working with DEC and APA to finalize language. It will then be released for public comment as part of the SLMP amendment process. <br /><br />Thanks for reading!Jeff Farbaniechttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17687600943158149486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5281608760834525796.post-55279118492922043912015-01-20T10:09:41.680-05:002015-01-20T10:09:41.680-05:00Thank you for your efforts on this important matte...Thank you for your efforts on this important matter. I see in this article ( http://www.mountainonline.com/fighting-backcountry-adirondack-powder-skier-association-new-york/ ) that there is a demonstration zone on Mt Haystack. It seems odd to me that this would be in the heart of the sensitive high peaks wilderness area which is a long approach from any direction. Did the author confuse the high-peaks Haystack Mt with the Saranac 6er Haystack Mt? Can you provide any clarification on this?<br /><br />Is the APSA proposal document available for public review?<br /><br />Thanks! Dan K.noreply@blogger.com
