APPLICANT: Mt. Mansfield Co., Inc.        10 V.S.A. Chapter 151
           d/b/a Stowe Mountain Resort          (Act 250)

           Waterbury, VT 05676
          
     The Vermont Environmental Board hereby issues Amended Land
Use Permit #5L1125-4-EB pursuant to the authority vested in it by
10 V.S.A Chapter 151.  This permit applies to the lands
identified in Book 48, Page 416, of the Land Records of the Town
of Stowe, Vermont, as the subject of a lease from the State of
Vermont, Department of Forests, Parks and Recreation, to Mt.
Mansfield Company, Inc.  This permit amends the conditions of
Land Use Permit #5L1125-4, which authorizes the Permittees to
install and operate 130 light fixtures on 65 twenty-five foot
high wooden utility poles on the Gondolier trail and a portion of
the Perry Merrill trail for purposes of night skiing on Wednesday
through Sunday evenings from dusk to 11:00 p.m. between December
15 and April 15.  This permit also authorizes the use of the
trail light system seven days a week during a continuous one week
period which shall include Christmas Day and Presidents' Week and
the Monday of Martin Luther King, Jr. weekend.  The site is 
Mt. Mansfield in the Town of Stowe in Vermont.
     
     The Permittees, and their assigns and successors in
interest, are obliged by this permit to comply with the following
conditions:

 1.  The project shall be completed, operated and maintained in
     accordance with:  (a) the terms and conditions of Land Use
     Permit #5L1125-4, except as amended hereby; (b) the plans,
     exhibits, and testimony submitted by the Permittees to the
     Environmental Board; (c) Findings of Fact and Conclusions of
     Law #5L1125-4-EB; and (d) the conditions of this permit.  No
     changes shall be made in the project without the written
     approval of the District #5 Environmental Commission.  

 2.  All lighting shall be installed and shielded in such a
     manner as to conceal light sources and reflector surfaces
     from view substantially beyond the Gondolier and Perry
     Merrill trails.  The Board retains jurisdiction to require
     additional mitigation under Criterion 8 if Mt. Mansfield
     Co., Inc.'s night lighting master plan, as it pertains to
     the project, is determined by the Agency of Natural
     Resources not to be in conformance with ANR's Guidelines on
     Ski Area Trail Lighting - July 1994. 

3.   Condition 11 of Land Use Permit #5L1125-4 is deleted and new
     Condition 11 is added to read:  This permit is issued for an
     indefinite term as long as there is compliance with the
     conditions of the permit.

4.   Condition 12 is deleted.

     Dated at Montpelier, Vermont this 15th day of June, 1995.

                         _________________________
                         Arthur Gibb, Acting Chair

                         Steve E. Wright

       *    Dissenting Opinion:
     
       Member Day believes that the Board should not decide whether or not to
  issue this permit until the Board has received a night lighting master plan
  and considered a determination by the Agency of Natural Resources ("ANR")
  as to whether the project and the night lighting master plan are consistent
  with ANR's Guidelines on Ski Area Trail Lighting - July 1994.
