The plan would involve constructing a double or triple chair lift from the base of Mt. Roberts to a point just west of the Granite peak, develop runs on Paradise Bowl, and build additional parking space. This would be done this year, at a cost of around $600,000, For the following season, a tentative plan to spend $150,- 000 for either a small lodge at the top of Granite or expansion of the main lodge, plus a new grooming machine, would bring the total package to $750,000, Using slides showing the proposal, together with graphs and maps, the seven’ members - of the lift committee and club manager Fred Bosinger ex- plained how the committee had, over the past few’ months, examined several proposals in depth before deciding on Para- dise. The meeting was opened by RMSC president Art Ho- ward, and turned over to Ross Reynolds, chairman for the evening. He pointed out that the meeting would accept no motions, and there would be no votes. Committee chairman Mike Delich: explained the ground- table of construction if. the project is approved, leading to & completion date of Novem- ber, 1976, Robin Siddal discussed the past growth of the club, and how an eight per cent annual growth is anticipated. He said that the lineups during the past season were shorter than ex- pected for a number of reasons, and predicted lineups of 30 minutes or longer on Granite next year if the facilities are not expanded. ‘The financial situation was explained in detail by Mike Walker. He said the club was satisfied that the repayment schedule was one the club could easily handle, and said that even a catastrophic year some- time inthe future had been taken into account, The risk, he said, had been established by computer, and a growth rate of as little as six per cent was acceptable, Mr. Walker also pointed out that while the season tickets are the main source of - revenue, the visiting skiers are becoming a larger source each ear, ‘The choice of Paradise was’ - explained by Kim Deane, who ee Puts Forward 4 Says Paradise Development a Must described the pros and cons of every proposal. He said that Grey Mountain has many ad- vantages and was given the moat serious consideration, but the final choice was clearly Paradise, Bob Hammond told the meeting that long lift lines lower the over-all quality of skiing, and were a major source of concern for all ski areas. He said further that high level skling could open the season much earlier, in the “unevent- ful" months of the year, and that an early start “is the harbinger of s healthy econ- omy” in terms of ski club operation, Approvals from ‘govern- ment involva .a myriad | of “departments, said” Peter Mc- Iver, and the club has already started on these processes, He said that the key is parks branch approval, with land use: and health requirements also needing close attention. He said that when a parks branch expert came in to study the area, he found that the Red Mountain area was “an embar- rassment of riches", and that the options open for future development were very at- tractive indeed. Mike Delich summarized the presentations, noting that the committee had spent many hours touring the area, analyz- Ing the benefits of each, and debating their findings. He said the committee, and club oxecu- tive and the RMSC advisory counell all strongly urged the acceptance of the Paradise proposal, ‘The meeting was opened to © questions from the floor, These included the effect of White- water, the promotion of mid- week skiing, and lack of beds in the immediate area, the matter of continued government as- sistance in the form of recrea- tion grants, the continuation of the gold star pass system, and . whether the club should not save now, expand later. One questioner commend- ed. the committee, but sug- Neh, pointing ‘out that all the proposals had been presented through the winter by means of the members’ newsletter, with everyone having the opportu: nity to state their views and suggestions, At the conclusion of the questioning, by prior arrange- ments, Jack Mitchell of Ross- land was given an opportunity to present a contrary view, in support of Grey Mountain, Mr. Mitchell, who said he has been working on his plan through the winter, indicated that Grey Mountain was his choice because it opened up an entirely new area for skiing. He said that from Grey, eventual expansion could open up four gested that capital should i ons miles of good skiing to ‘retained for other | improve- ments and for emergencies. He felt. that water line replace- ment, grooming machines, the rebullding of the top-of Red Mountain, and the elimination of an uphill section of Squaw Basin run, came under the heading of work that had to be considered. He. was assured that normal capital expendi- tures will continue. ‘The firat major criticism of the evening concerned the planned vote next Monday. The questioner asked: “If the vote is turned down, will there be no opportunity to discuss other ‘O} 7" No, said Mr. De- the north, - Mr. Mitchell said Grey and Paradise were almost identical in terms of topography, lift requirements and snow condi- tions, (The committee had stated earlier that one of the major drawbacks of Grey was its exposure to high winds, and lack of natural protection of- fered by trees.) Mr. Delich said the com- mittee had studied Mr. Mitch- ell’s presentation, and although it was conceded that Grey had good potential for future ex- pansion, it had been: rejected after a critical comparison of the two mountain faces.
