| | Eagle Optics - Friends of the Inyo |
 | | Founded in 1986, Friends of the Inyo is a local, non-profit conservation organization dedicated to preserving the Eastside's unique qualities: its diverse wild lands, scenic beauty, wild rivers, varied flora and fauna, and abundant opportunities for low-impact recreation. |
 | | Over 50 ski areas throughout the west were awarded grades based on numerous criteria: ski area expansion, watershed and forest stewardship, real estate speculation, snowmaking expansion, recycling, public disclosure policies, and other areas of concern to the conservation community and the skiing public. |
 | | To ensure rules are enforced and the land is protected, Friends of the Inyo has begun an intensive monitoring program to track the growing problem of off-road vehicle abuse on public lands. |
