Laramie, Wy – The owner of the Snowy Range Ski Area outside Laramie is asking people to support the business during hard times.
Rick Colling spoke to about 70 people Tuesday during a public
hearing on the future of the Snowy Range Ski Area. The ski area has
had financial difficulty since a fire destroyed the main lodge in
2003.
A bigger lodge was built, but business has been down, and Rick
and Terri Colling report having $4.5 million in debt. The Collings
have been trying for a year to find a buyer for the ski area.

Laramie, Wy – A Wyoming conservation group says southeast Wyoming is the best place for wind farms in the state. Biodiversity conservation Alliance Director Eric Molvar says their study shows that southeast Wyoming would have the least amount of environmental and wildlife impacts. Molvar says the study takes into account transmission lines that would be needed for any such project. Some property rights groups object to the report, saying it would limit their ability to develop wind farms.

Hanna, Wy – A planned wind project near Hanna in Carbon County has raised concerns from some about how it might impact natural and cultural resources in the area.
The Medicine Bow Conservation District and the Hanna Historical
Society asked Horizon Wind Energy not to harm natural or cultural
resources when building its 154-turbine wind project.
The area includes a historic cemetery, sage grouse strutting
grounds, archaeological sites, elk habitat and other places of
significance.
