I think you’re overlooking a lot of things because of your single-minded obsession with building a ski area at BP.
The first is that the Arapaho Forest has a forest management plan that they develop and follow. Have you looked at that plan? It’s a public document, and gets public input. Attended any meetings? The FMP outlines and directs overall and specific management goals and action, and I’m gonna guess that a ski area is way low on priorities.
Speaking of priorities, did you know that largely because of budget cuts, past management, current management, and climate change, the FS now spend over half it’s budget on fire suppression. Priorities.
Also, you would do well to get familiar with the Friends of Berthoud Pass organization that works closely with the FS on BP management. They are going to meetings and representing their interests, not complaining on Internet forums.

Your lack of interest and profound ignorance of backcountry skiing is something of a hindrance here, because there are very few, if any, bc skiing locations with the highway access that BP has - that is hugely significant. Name one that has the highway access BP has.
Lastly, and then I’m done, the FS doesn’t develop or manage ski areas - private sector does. The FS permits them, it does not operate them. The FS doesn’t provide ski patrols - private sector does. If you want avy control and patrol at BP, form a company, talk with the FS, figure out a business plan, and do it. But you better be more familiar with the Friends of Berthoud Pass.
