It seems to happen every year. Well a couple of times each year, even. The debate sparks over heli skiing the Wasatch Mountains of Utah. This is primarily a debate between Wasatch Powderbird Guides and all the non-motorized backcountry access advocates including Save Our Canyons. We just posted about the recent Salt Lake Tribune article that ran about how the courts ruled in favor of the heli-skiers.. this should get pretty interesting in the next few weeks.

Here are a few active discussions on the topic:

AltaCam: Wasatch Powderbird Guides Special Use Permit Renewal

TelemarkTips: Bomb-Free Wasatch 2006

TGR: Utah Heli-Skiing - Court rules in favor of WPG
