Roberts said the ski area brought in its highest gross ever in spite of the slow month of January when everybody including other ski areas were wondering where all the skiers were. ParkWest is becoming more popular every year, Roberts believes, because "we feel we have good skiing now, especially for the intermediate to good skier." A major improvement came with the opening of the new Slaughterhouse lift, which loads near the bottom of the Ironhorse lift and carries skiers up to Lookout House, a warming house and restaurant. restau-rant. Before that, skiers using the Ironhorse lift had to ski to the base area to get up to the summit facility. There are no dramatic plans for lift construction at the area this summer just slope grooming and general mountain maintenance. Ulti- 9 Chamber of CommerceConvention and Visitors Bureau The first quarterly Chamber Cham-ber Bureau membership social was an outstanding success. Congratulations are in order to new Alamo owners Mary Wagner, Cindy David, Bob DiTullio, and Mark Stemler, who worked day and night to get the draft house open just in time. The Chamber Bureau was - proud to be a part of the first,, sneak preview, and ap- " predates the effort (and the complimentary hors d'oeuvres) put out by the Alamo Management.

Next season's all-day, adult lift pass will cost $15, a hike of $4 from this year but still the least expensive ticket of the three Park City resorts. Roberts said season passes probably will not change in price from the current $199, and morning skiers still will be able to turn in their day-tickets by 1 p.m. and get a refund on the remaining half-day. Well over half of Park-West's Park-West's customers are termed term-ed locals in-state skiers, Roberts said, and like other Utah resorts, most of the out-of-state skiers are from Southern California. The resort's marketing department depart-ment has an active program of advertising and sales, with ParkWest representatives representa-tives attending spring and fall trade shows to promote skiing and condominium units adjacent to the ski area, Roberts noted.

"There's no question ques-tion that the impetus has come from Bev, along with the help of a lot of good and compassionate people" who worked in both programs, he said. The kinderschule offers serious ski instruction to three- and four-year-olds, and "it's amazing what they can do." The handicapped program provides one-to-one instruction using specially-trained specially-trained volunteers to mentally-retarded children from Salt Lake, Summit and Wasatch counties. In March, Carhart and her staff raised $5,000 in donations dona-tions to go toward equipment for the handicapped program, pro-gram, which next year will have available a $1,000 Arroya sled for use by paraplegics. Roberts emphasized empha-sized that the sled will be available throughout the state next winter for use by anyone who needs it. ait IE comprised what may have been the most valuable information exchange ever witnessed by Utah's tourism industry representatives.

SUBSCRIB SUBSCRI ParkWest, Roberts said, this year is still feeling the financial effects of the 1976-77 1976-77 no snow season, and "it set us back four years." The ski area "has a long way to go" before reaching its potential, he believes, "but there's a lot of future here." Next year's opening date is IBmsiimess Briefs Victorian may reopen soon The Victorian Restaurant at Shadow Ridge, closed recently for the off-season, may reopen this summer and definitely will be in full operation for the 1982-83 ski season. Blaine Huntsman of the Hunstman-Christensen Corp. owners of the restaurant and the Shadow Ridge condominiums con-dominiums at Park City Resort, said the Victorian had a very profitable season this year and may reopen this summer "if it's economically econo-mically feasible." Plans call for a definite reopening in the fall, and "we're looking at a host of options" on how it will be managed, Huntsman said. Hans Feugi, manager of the Victorian the last seven months, agreed that business busi-ness this winter had been excellent.

It hardly ever hapens that there's enough snow for that early an opening, but the area will be ready anyway.
