By the time the resort was opened a year and a half later, $13 million had been spent. Now, 15 years later, he has $65 million into Snowbird, he says. And has lost $30 million.

After the meeting, he told The Tribune that steepness and snow conditions make Little Cottonwood Canyon an unsafe environment for y the growing numbers of skiers, and the canyon and public would be best served by lift and downhill skiing development wherein hazards are controlled or removed. He said, too, that Utah should be aware that tourism is as important to its economic vitality as the extractive industries once were. cross-countr- Richard D.
