Snowboarders, climbers, skiers, bowhunters. You, me and your friends. The National Forests belong to us all. Most ski resorts lease National Forest land. In fact, 122 resorts operate on these publicly-owned parcels. Backcountry skiing and riding options abound on National Forest lands, as well as camping, climbing, mountain biking and fishing opportunities, not to mention hunting each fall.
