On December 18, the Rappahannock Ski Corporation entered a petition to intervene before the Circuit Court in the suit brought against the county by the Rappahannock Chapter of the Izaak Walton League.

The Rappahannock Chapter of the Izaak Walton League filed suit on November 29, seeking repeal of zoning ordinance amendments adopted by the county Supervisors in September. The amendments, proposed jointly by Commonwealth Attorney George Davis and Ski Corporation attorney Douglas Baumgardner, allow ‘‘outdoor recreation, including, but not limited to skiing, swimming pools, tennis courts and gravity slides” as a use permitted by right in all areas of the county where slopes are greater than 14 per cent and in all areas zoned general business or commercial.

The amendments were enacted for the express purpose of ending litigation between the Ski Corporation, the Supervisors and the county Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA) that began after the BZA denied a special use permit application from the Ski Corporation for the uses cited in the ordinance amendments.
