USFS has allowed chairlift capacity of two lifts to increase with no public disclosure, Tribal consultation, or analysis: the Grand Canyon Express chairlift was supposed to be a 4-seated chairlift but Arizona Snowbowl built a 6-seated chairlift with no public disclosure. The Sunset lift was supposed to be replaced with a lift that had one-third the capacity, but was allowed to remain in place via a SIR Decision that did not discuss the volume of the lift.
