  • Central Wasatch Commission is an intergovernmental agency formed to coordinate planning for the Wasatch Mountains.
  • Public Land in the Wasatch Mountains is mostly managed by the USDA Forest Service.
  • Little Cottonwood Creek is in a protected Watershed managed by Salt Lake County.
  • The Ski Industry is a major stakeholder in LCC. . 
  • Transportation in LCC is managed by the Utah Dept. of Transportation (UDOT); Bus service is provided by the Utah Transit Authority (UTA).
  • Research & Reporting can be found in Utah news media and scholarly journals.
