Yesterday on KPCW, Leslie Thatcher asked Summit County Council member Chris Robinson about an online meeting, happening later that day, related to the Mountain Accord. He said he had no idea what that was about. Perhaps he should have, as it was the best discussion we have heard on the topic.

The online “debate” featured:

Laynee Jones, Mountain Accord
Carl Fisher, Save Our Canyons
Paul Marshall, SkiUtah
Peter Metcalf, Black Diamond Equipment andOutdoor Industry Association

The moderator was from Boston and the insight into the real issues was outstanding. This felt like the first discussion we had witnessed where it was like a bunch of your friends talking about what they thought. It is very compelling. If you have a little bit of time, we recommend you watch it. Introductions are at the beginning and questions from the Internet start at about 45 minutes in.
