## Summary

**Creates a dedicated Ski Area Fee Retention Account** that would collect Forest Service ski-area permit rental charges and let the agency spend them without further appropriation. The bill targets local ski-area maintenance and visitor services while allowing a smaller share for broader, agency-wide recreation support and administration. - Local forest units and nearby communities would keep most fees to fix and maintain trails, parking, signage, avalanche information, search and rescue, and other visitor-focused work. About 80% of charges from a covered unit go local, but that share can fall to no less than 60% if broader needs arise. - The Forest Service would get a stable, separate funding stream for program administration, permit processing, staff training, and agency-wide recreation projects. Up to 20% of charges are available for those national activities and can be reallocated if local shares are reduced. - Ski-area operators and visitors would likely see faster repairs and more on-the-ground services because deposited fees are available to use for four fiscal years after collection without needing new appropriations.

## Provisions PRIA read

- Limits and safeguards on ski funds: mixed, low. If enacted, ski-fee money could not be used to fight wildfires or to buy land for the National Forest System.
