"KEYSTONE, Colo. (AP) -- An interim Forest Service policy on outdoor advertising at ski areas had its first test recently at Keystone, as rangers with the Dillon District decided that the ski resort could use small stickers on its ski bikes for commercial product advertising.

The new policy gives the agency and the resorts that operate under permits on national forest lands more leeway when it comes to posting so-called sponsorship messages in areas that have traditionally been ad-free, including outdoor electronic trail maps.

Such maps might be one of the places skiers could soon see more commercial messages, said Ken Kowynia, winter sports program leader for the Forest Service's Rocky Mountain region."

2. Maybe people will tear down any ads/logos

that they come across in the forest and make it more costly to maintain the advertising than they are able to take in by selling it? Of course, I would NEVER advocate doing anything remotely illegal...

Oh yeah, and raise taxes on the rich (and end the oil wars in the mideast) to help maintain public lands without needing to sell it off to the marketing propagandists.

3. Bush* would give the rights to anything that makes somebody money.

This is the most corrupt regime this world has seen, maybe in all of history.

5. Good! Identifying marks on noisy machines tell us who to boycott!

When will there be a season on snow mobiles and ski bikes and where do I get a tag?
