                 BULLET POINTS FOR THE 1993-94 COLORADO SKI SEASON

    Arrowhead at Vail Ski Mountain

    � Colorado's newest and one of the fastest growing ski areas in the state.
      Arrowhead is scheduled to open for its sixth season on December 17th,
1993.  Built on private land to control skiers, Arrowhead offers intimate,
uncrowded slopes -beautiful and pristine terrain.  It's the perfect place to get
away from the crowd the next time you're skiing in the Vail Valley.

    � A complimentary ski lesson is offered to skiers who purchase a full-day
lift ticket...from "never-ever" up to intermediate level skiers.  Limited
availability, call 24-hours in advance for lesson reservations.  (303-926-3029)

    � The Family Ski Pass is popular with skiers at Arrowhead.  Mom, dad and up
to three children (ages 16 and under) can ski together for one low lift ticket
price! ($80 for 1992-93 ski season).

    Aspen Highlands

    � If approved, Aspen Highlands will begin a complete mountain redevelopment
this summer, with the replacement of two double chairlifts with state-of-the-art
high-speed lifts.   It is anticipated that the 2 new lifts will be installed in
time for the 1993-94 ski season, dramatically speeding up the time it takes to
ride up Colorado's Longest Vertical.

    � New this year at Aspen Highlands: Children 6 years old and younger and
skiers 70 years old and older ski free at Highlands during the 1993-94 ski
season.

    � Houston, Texas developer, Mr. Gerald Hines, who also resides in Aspen, has
recently purchased the Heatherbed Lodge and the site of the old Highlands Inn,
in anticipation of his purchase of the Aspen Highlands Skiing Corporation some
time in June.  Specific improvement, development and future expansion
information will be forthcoming, pending the close of sale of the resort.

    Aspen Skiing Company (Aspen Mountain, Snowmass, Tiehack/Buttermilk)

    � If approved, Ruthie's Double, also known as Chair #8 on Aspen Mountain,
will be replaced with a high speed detachable quad.  The new quad will decrease
riding time and allow skiers more time to enjoy skiing.

    � Snowmass, if approved, will be replacing lifts #3 and #8 with two
detachable quads -- Alpine Springs and Sam's Knob.

    � Tiehack/Buttermilk will receive its first high speed detachable quad this
season.  The new lift which has not yet been named will replace a double
chairlift.

    Breckenridge Ski Corporation

    � Peak 7 Expansion adds 315 acres of hike-in, T-bar accessed terrain.  This
expansion gives Breckenridge a total of 1,915 acres and gives the expert and
adventurous skier a total of 55% of terrain rated most difficult.

    � Breckenridge set an all-time record for skier visits during the 1992-93
season.


    Copper Mountain Resort

    � Copper Mountain officials are looking at expanding the resort by another
500 acres in an exciting move that would create a new bowl skiing area for
intermediate through expert skiers.  This expansion would include two or three
lifts and at least 500 acres on the back side of Union Peak.  Pending Federal
approval, the resort hopes to begin construction on Copper Bowl during the
summer of 1994.

    � For single skiers traveling on their own and looking for values in the ski
industry, Copper Mountain Lodging Services is offering new single occupancy
winter lodging packages starting at just $97 per night.  All Copper Mountain
winter lodging packages feature luxurious, AAA Four Diamond accommodations, a
daily lift ticket and access to one of the finest racquet and athletic
facilities in the Rocky Mountains.

    � The National Brotherhood of Skiers (NBS), the largest ski group in North
America, has named Copper Mountain Resort the site of its National Headquarters
Mountain Office.  This group is comprised of over seventy-two predominantly
black ski clubs with over 14,000 members throughout the United States.  The NBS
also plans to hold ongoing training programs for young black athletes at the
resort.

    Crested Butte Mountain Resort

    � Mountainlair Hotel, right in the center of Mt. Crested Butte, 200 yards
from the high-speed Silver Queen Quad and just steps to the town center will
open in November 1993.  Guests can enjoy spacious 405 square feet of deluxe
rooms and two outdoor hot tubs.

    � The Paradise High-Speed Detachable Quad joins the one year old Silver
Queen Quad lifting skiers 2,000 vertical feet to the top of Mt. Crested Butte in
less than eight minutes.  Our new quads will get you to the top in a hurry, how
fast you get down is up to you!

    � FREE Lift Tickets -- It's true.  Crested Butte will offer the best deal in
the ski industry.  From November 19, 1993 to December 18, 1993, you ski
absolutely FREE.  No gimmicks, no bait and switch, just skiing the old fashioned
way...FREE.  Also, free never-ever lessons for all first-time skiers, ages seven
& older.

    Cuchara Valley Ski Resort

    � $12 all day, any age mini-mountain pass!  Mini-mountain pass covers lifts
2 and 4 including over 10 runs of green and blue trails and empties into the
main base area.  It's a great deal for any age beginner or mellow skier.

    � January and February are "Family Ski Months" at Cuchara Valley Ski Resort
where kids (12 & under) ski free with an adult from January 3rd to February 28,
1994.

    � The "Warming Hut," a $100,000 expansion located at the center of the base
area, will greet skiers at Cuchara Valley this season.  The new building will
seat 400, 300 inside and 100 outside, and will provide a cafeteria setting with
big screen television, C.D.  jukebox and great views of the slopes.

    Eldora Mountain Resort

    � Nestled in the mountains 21 miles west of Boulder, Eldora offers a quality
skiing experience in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.  Affordable rates and
convenience make Eldora an attractive alternative.

    � Eldora will spend $600,000 upgrading lift service and snowmaking
capabilities for the upcoming season.  Cannonball II, a double chairlift, will
provide additional uphill capacity out of the base area.  Sixty acres of
snowmaking will be added bringing the total snowmaking acres to 180.

    � Eldora Mountain Resort increases skier visits well over the average growth
of Colorado skier visits.  Eldora, Boulder's local ski area, skier days
increased by 50% over the 1991-92 season.

    Keystone Resort

    � Keystone Resort's owner, Ralston Purina Company of St. Louis, recently
purchased Breckenridge Ski Area 17 miles from Keystone.  This purchase couples
two of the country's more popular ski resorts, each routinely attracting over
one million skier visits a year.  By acquiring Breckenridge, Ralston becomes the
biggest ski resort operator in North America.  Skiers will benefit from
marketing efforts highlighting the complimentary nature of the two resorts.

    � A season of record-breaking snowfalls, valuable all-inclusive vacation
packages, and world-wide consumer awareness of Keystone's recently completed $32
million expansion have launched the resort to the biggest season in its 24-year
history, hosting well over one million skier visits.

    � Keystone's new Outback Bowls comprised the largest terrain expansion in
Colorado last season.  The two immense bowls atop The Outback encompass 633
acres of above-timberline skiing in a backcountry setting and are accessible via
hiking.  Officials tout the bowls as the final measure of Keystone's two-year,
$32 million expansion, comprising the largest expansion of a ski area in the
country.

    Loveland Ski Areas

    � Great Skiing Guaranteed! We are so sure that you will love your ski
experience at Loveland that we offer the best guarantee in the country. If you
are ever not satisfied with your ski experience just return your lift ticket by
10:00 am for a full refund - no questions asked.

    � Loveland offers over 800 acres of great skiing on over 60 runs and wide-
open powder bowls including Zip Basin.

    Monarch Ski Resort

    � This last season, Monarch once again opened early with great natural snow
and had a record year showing that you don't need snowmaking if you're in the
right place.

    � Winner of the Colorado Tourism Board's "Hospitality Achievement" Award
recognizing Monarch as Colorado's friendliest resort.

    Purgatory-Durango Ski Resort

    � Kids Ski Free - The choice is yours: Your kids can ski free with you, or
they can ski free with us.  For families that ski together, any child 12 or
under will receive a free lift ticket when his or her parent purchases an adult
lift ticket: one child ticket per paid parent for the same day of skiing.  Kids,
ages 3 through 12, in ski school will receive a free lift ticket in conjunction
with their lessons.  These offers are available throughout the ski season,
including Christmas and other holidays.

    � Free Ski or Snowboard Lessons - It's called the Start 'Em Off Right
program.  Any new skier or snowboarder age 13 or older will receive a free half-
day beginner lesson when they purchase a lift ticket.  New skiers will receive
two free half-day lessons on consecutive days with the purchase of a two-day or
multi-day ticket.

    � Celebrity Free in `93 - Purgatory-Durango Ski Resort made a bold step in
1993 when it proudly proclaimed an "Uncelebrities Week."  There were no black-
tie galas, no wine tastings, and no photo opportunities.  It was a huge success.
Uncelebrities Week was overwhelmingly under-attended by the Beautiful People,
and enthusiastically embraced by skiers who don't expect newspapers to print
their names in bold-face type.  Plans are now being made for the second annual
Uncelebrities Week.

    Steamboat Ski & Resort Corporation

    � A new facility will be constructed near the top of the Four Points lift
providing restroom facilities, telephones and a snack bar.  The new building
will resemble the famous Steamboat barn and will begin operations in November
1993.

    � An additional 37 chairs will be added to the Storm Peak Express, a high
speed detachable quad, increasing the uphill capacity.
      Also, the resort will upgrade its snowmaking capabilities by 11.5 acres
which will cover the Drop Out trail and will offer a total of 376.5 acres of
snowmaking.

    � The Billy Kidd Center for Performance Skiing is a brand new concept in
performance programs.  This popular, high-performance program combines the
traditional Billy Kidd racing camps with the challenges of bumps and powder
skiing emphasizing personal hands-on attention and an extensive use of video.

    Ski Sunlight

    � Sunlight Extreme opens for the 1993-94 ski season.  The new East Ridge
expansion gives Ski Sunlight the thrills and chills of steeps and glades on
slopes up to 52 degrees.  The area will include 5 new black diamond and double
black diamond trails.  These additions will give Ski Sunlight 20% novice, 55%
intermediate, and 25% expert terrain.

    � Ski Sunlight skied 82,000 skiers in the 1992-93 ski season.  This is an
increase of 30% from last season.  This increase still did not impact our
mountain, we continue to have no lift lines and uncrowded slopes.   To
accommodate this growth in skiers Ski Sunlight will be renovating the base
facilities including new bathrooms and new restaurant facilities.

    � Ski Sunlight has moved 30 minutes closer to Denver!  I-70 is open through
Glenwood Canyon ending the delays visitors have been experiencing over the last
13 years.  Front range skiers can leave the Denver area and in less than 3 hours
be on the slopes of Ski Sunlight.


    Vail/Beaver Creek Resort

    � Vail was recently chosen by the FIS as the site for the 1993-94 World Cup
Finals, scheduled for March 14-20.  Events will be held in all four disciplines
-- slalom, giant slalom, super-G and downhill -- for the top men's and women's
competitors in each field.  Tentatively, events will be held on both Vail and
Beaver Creek Mountains.

    � Vail and Beaver Creek Resort have planned $14 million in capital
improvements for the 1993-94 season.  The Pride Express, a CTEC high speed quad
chairlift, will service the Lionshead/Eagle's Nest ridge area with access to an
entirely new teaching arena for beginners, totally separate from the flow of
non-beginning skiers.  The existing Chair 9 will be shortened into a "teaching
chair." The improvements collectively will allow a first time beginner access to
a state-of-the-art, top-of-the-mountain teaching arena.  The snowcat fleet will
increase by 40% to include 43 cats, more than any other mountain complex in the
      world.

    � Spruce Saddle's outdoor deck seating will be doubled and the barbecue area
improved and a special 120-seat children's lunch room will be added on the lower
level specifically for those children participating in Beaver Creek Children's
Ski School.  Spruce Saddle will be themed around the western history of Beaver
Creek and the Avon Valley and will have the look and feel of the popular Two Elk
Restaurant on Vail Mountain.

    Winter Park Resort

    � The Lodge at Sunspot, Winter Park's entry into spectacular on-mountain
dining, lived up to advanced billing after its debut last season by winning the
prestigious 1993 Snow Country Magazine National Ski Area Design Award in the Day
Lodge Category.  The 20,000 square foot building blends naturally into its
alpine setting at the 10,700 summit of Winter Park.
      Visitors can enjoy gourmet dining with breathtaking views in the Dining
Room or relax in the casually comfortable Provisioner, featuring healthy food
choices.  As the focal point of Sunspot, the Lounge with its large stone
fireplace, custom furnishings, and fireside bar entice skiers to warm up and
relax in the cozy setting.

    � A new $2 million Learn-to-Ski Park opens for the 1993-94 season featuring
more than 20 acres of prime beginner terrain.  The Park includes Wilson's Way
plus an additional 10 acres of newly cut trails through the popular Gnome
Forest.  Adventure trails, race facilities, and terrain gardens will be designed
for teaching and practicing ski skills.  Permanent fencing will surround the
Park to separate the area from more advanced terrain.

    � Construction of the Learn-to-Ski Park includes installation of two new
chairlifts.  A new detachable quad chairlift will replace the Gemini fixed grip
double chairlift and transport skier from the base area to the entrance of the
Park.  A new triple fixed grip chairlift will be installed inside the Learn-to-
Ski Park to serve the additional terrain.
