Since "The entirety of Loveland’s existing lift, trail, and infrastructure network is operated on National Forest System (NFS) lands that are administered under a special use permit (SUP) by the Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forest and Pawnee National Grassland (ARP).", could it have something to do with the terms of their operating permit?

If the "terms of the NFS operating permit" is a bogus excuse, how do you explain money-driven Americans leaving cash on the table?

Yes. Tony's "bogus excuse" claim seems to imply something more sinister than Adam Smith's invisible hand.
