Figure, describes the costs and benefits resulting from different sizes of a ski resort that is being planned in a national forest. Skiers gain benefits from greater ski resort acreage according to the "Marginal Gain of Skiers" curve. At the same time, birders lose viewing opportunities in areas that are negatively affected by the ski resort. The areas that are negatively affected by the ski resort increase as the resort acreage increases. The "Marginal Loss of Birders" curve describes the loss of value suffered by these birders as the ski resort acreage increases. The letters A through H describe individual areas within the graph.
