Askew said the additional traffic which would probably result if the ski area became a year round recreational resort would bring increased demands for hard surfacing the road. However, in light of the right of way difficulty and reduced secondary road funds, Askew said it would be “many years” before the Virginia Department of Highways could begin to consider paving the road.
According to the fact-finding report made by the Planning Commission for The Zoning Appeals Board, Rappahannock County collected approximately $12,000 in taxes from the ski area for the years 1964 to 1975. During that period, the county spent approximately $58,000 for maintenance, mainly on roads, and services to the ski area. The Planning Commissioners noted that the ski area was open less than half a year during this period. It is possible that the costs of maintenance and services would increase, while the taxes would remain essentially the same if the ski area were to become an all year recreational resort, the Planning Commission report said.
