Ski Hill Resources for Economic Development Act

This bill lets National Forest units keep most of the money they collect from ski resorts that operate on their land. The Forest Service currently collects rental fees from these ski areas. Under this bill, each forest unit would keep 60-68% of the fees generated in their area to spend on things like managing ski permits, providing visitor information, or preventing wildfires near recreation areas. Another 20% would go toward fixing Forest Service buildings, restoring wildlife habitat, or search and rescue operations. The remaining money could be used by any National Forest unit for these same types of activities.
