“WE FOUND that the T-bar broke down frequently, that we could only use two of the three rope tows. We couldn’t have operated on the given equipment. They also sold 20 night lights — surplus from the Signal Corps — for the purpose of lighting the slopes at night. They were like 20 paper matches, completely valueless. The 30 snow guns they supplied had to be junked. Their brochure indicated that 30 acres had been cleared for skiing, but only 11 were actually cleared.”
“Did Brenner tell you about the reputation of the existing operation, called Ski Line?”
“No sir, I had to find it out the hard way.”
“What did Brenner tell you about the operation of Sky Line?”
“We asked repeatedly for former figures. We were never given any bona fide figures, but eventually they indicated a $15,000 income in 1969.”
“Did you have to upgrade the equipment?”
“OH MY goodness, yes. We put over $12,000 in an air and water system. It appeared that on the main slope they had never spread any artificial snow on the top.”
