If you ride the north cascades, you may want to look in to http://www.americanalps.org and perhaps read the discussion on http://www.turns-all-year.com/skiing_snowboarding/trip_reports/index.php?topic=16559.0 to see what impact it will have. Voice your position or lose the area.
I'm also going to repeat that you look in to the Vann Epps thread http://www.snowestonline.com/forum/showthread.php?t=216512 and get your emails/letters written.
