The deletion of Nordic Trails to build vacation homes has not been well broadcast at the local level. Most people in Vernon don't know this plan exists. Not only does this plan wipe out the trail and eco system for good, there doesn't appear to be a lot of thought regarding efficient disposal of effluent without further affecting us in the Valley, not to mention water supply.

The Schumann's who own Silver Star Resort don't care about the park or skiing. They just want to sell real estate. In fact the housing has already choked off most of the beginner terrain and is killing the future of the industry as a result. The Schumann's are going to destroy the park, the tourism product and take all the money back to Australia.

Please stop this. I understand the idea of encouraging tourism growth, but this is killing it.

And to think that we (the people of bc will give this land away for next to nothing per acre.
its a crime.

We stay on the hill, and the main attraction for us are the cross country trails around the knoll and on Silverstar Mtn. However if these trails are developed there will be no reason for us to stay at the resort. We will just stay at a motel in Vernon and ski at Sovereign Lakes instead. I sincerely hope that there is no development or construction on these trails which are some of my favourite in all of British Columbia.
