I believe in the original Lift One approvals that the developers were admonished to replace the courts. To lose those courts could severely impact one of Aspen&#8217;s iconic, long-standing traditional events \u2014 The MotherLode Volleyball Classic.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">I think if the Lift One proposal is approved, and the Dolinsek Property becomes a park, the combination of the sand courts and the adjoining brothers&#8217; property would make a nice open space amenity without having to remove the sand courts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">I don&#8217;t think that the property should become a ski museum. As an example, the much more infamous Colorado Ski Museum in Vail struggles to make ends meet even though it is in an extremely accessible area. Today&#8217;s skiers, for the most part, are interested in skiing but not in the history of skiing.
