Speak Out Against the Development

Help us tell the developers and decision-makers why building a “village” for 10,000 people at Wolf Creek Pass is a bad idea and the wrong choice for our community and state.

Your statement can help us stop the destruction of this incredible natural resource.

"It has become a known that expansion of ski areas is leading to destruction of habitats and glaciers all over the world. Wolf Creek Pass is one of those special places that still exists. Please keep your corporate greed out."

- Timothy Ryan, Pagosa Springs

"Wolf Creek Pass is one of the most important wildlife movement corridors in the nation and must be protected for the species that need it for their survival."

- Chris T-H, Denver

"I proudly am in support of keeping Wolf Creek area free and wild. Unhindered by noise, light, traffic, and waste pollution is the key to its beauty and significance.
The billionaire and partner's main interest is making money developing. A limited amount of people will make money exploiting this pristine area while thousands of others will suffer the ramifications."

- Nathan Mueller, Pagosa

"As a recent (May 2018) transplant to Pagosa Springs from Minneapolis, Minnesota, I am quite familiar with Texan Red McCombs. I therefore was quite amazed to learn, soon after moving here for retirement with my wife, that old Red still darkens my horizon. I cannot imagine allowing a 'village'
like that of Telluride, owned or rented by wealthy out of state ski season 'occupants', to exist in the gorgeous and pristine Wolf Creek pass area. It would cause massive disruption to the ecosystem, crowded conditions and a serious drain on infrastructure. My wife and I enjoy hiking and skiing the Pass and it is a major reason we moved here. The idea that Forest Service personnel are so corruptible as to grant access to construct a road so that this development can enrich the already too rich and ancient Red McCombs and his family and fellow investors is enough to make me consider selling my home and retiring elsewhere. Why should the concerns of middle class hard working retirees and property owners like myself and my wife matter less to the County than a Texan like Red? Or Texan Kelsey Warren, who likewise is attempting to enlarge his huge Boot Jack Ranch by exchanging some scrub in Chromo for 'grazing' as well as trying to build a reservoir on his land. Ancient water rights for 'ranching' have no business taking priority over the needs of an entire area, especially one threatened by a megadrought. We say NO to it all!!!"

- ParVK, Pagosa Springs
