>> HI, I'M ERIC FORD FOR "MADE HERE.

ON " IN 1995, FILMMAKERS SALLY SEYMOUR CREATED MOUNT SNOW, THE FIRST 40 YEARS PROFILING THE SKI RESORT'S BEGINNINGS AND LEGACY.

THE FILM HIGHLIGHTS FOUNDER WALT SCHOENKNECHT WHO SOME CALLED THE WALT DISNEY OF VERMONT AND HIS DRIVE AND INNOVATIONS IN THE 1950s TO DEVELOP A MAJOR SKI AREA WITH AN EASY REACH OF METROPOLITAN AREAS IN THE NORTHEASTERN U.S.

THIS DOCUMENTARY IS FULL OF INTERESTING STORIES AND VERMONT SKI NOSTALGIA.

YOU CAN WATCH "MOUNT SNOW, THE FIRST 40 YEARS" AND OTHER GREAT "MADE HERE" FILMS STREAMING ON VERMONTPUBLIC.ORG AND THROUGH THE PBA APP.

ENJOY THE FILM AND THANKS FOR WATCHING.

>> WHAT CHANGED DOVER'S HISTORY FOREVER WAS A MAN NAMED WALT SCHOENKNECHT WHO CAME TO THE VALLEY IN SEARCH OF AN AREA TO PUT UP A SKI AREA.

>> HE WENT TO VERMONT WITH HIS FATHER.

AND HE CALLED BACK VERY EXCITED THAT HE HAD FOUND THE PLACE.

AND I SAID WELL, WHERE IS THIS?

HE SAID WEST DOVER, VERMONT.

>> THEY FOUND THIS MOUNTAIN THAT LOOKED PRETTY ENTICING AND LOOKED LIKE IT COULD BE DEVELOPED INTO A SKI AREA.

AND IT WAS THE FARM.

HIS FATHER ONLY HAD $20 WITH HIM.

SO HE PUT $20 TO SEAL THE DEAL.

AND THAT WAS THE REAL START OF MOUNT SNOW.

THE PHONE RANG ONE EVENING AND THE VOICE SAID, HELLO, JOHN, YOU MAY NOT REMEMBER ME.

MY NAME IS WALT SCHOENKNECHT.

>> THAT HAS TO BE ONE OF THE MOST BIZARRE COMMENTS THAT EVER UTTERED BY MAN.

WHOEVER MET WALT SCHOENKNECHT EVEN FOR ONE MINUTE AND DIDN'T REMEMBER HIM, HOW COULD YOU FORGET WALT SCHOENKNECHT?

>> WALT WAS A DREAMER AND HE WAS ALWAYS HAVING GRAND IDEAS.

>> HE SEEMED LIKE HE WAS 10 FEET TALL.

>> SEEMED TO ME THAT HE HAD SOME GESTURES THAT HIS ARMS WOULD EXTEND 15 FEET.

>> LIKE MUHAMMAD, WENT TO A MOUNTAIN AND FOUND SKIING.

>> WHEN SKIING FIRST STARTED, I THINK WE WERE VERY SKEPTICAL.

YOU KNOW, WALT SCHOENKNECHT HAD MORE DREAMS AND VISIONS IF HIS MIND THAN ALMOST ANYBODY THAT I CAN IMAGINE.

>> I WAS STRUCK YEARS LATER WHEN I SAW KEVIN COSTNER IN "FIELD OF DREAMS".

I MEAN, THAT STORY COULD HAVE BEEN WALT SCHOENKNECHT AND MOUNT SNOW.

I MEAN, MOUNT SNOW WAS WALT SCHOENKNECHT'S FIELD OF DREAMS.

>> IT WAS A LITTLE HARD TO REALLY ENVISION THAT SKIING COULD BE A WORTHWHILE OPERATION OTHER THAN JUST PLAIN FOOLISHNESS.

>> I DON'T KNOW WHERE KEVIN COSTNER GOT THE MONEY TO BUILD A BASEBALL FIELD.

BUT WE KNOW WHERE WALTER GOT IT.

HE BORROWED IT!

>> WALTER WAS THEN OFFERING SHARES IN THE NEW VENTURE FOR, I BELIEVE, $1,000 A SHARE WHICH HE GUARANTEED WOULD GO UP IN VALUE.

WHICH THEY DID AFTER ABOUT 20 YEARS.

>> AND HE SAID OH, WE'RE GOING TO DO WONDERFUL THINGS FOR OUR STOCKHOLDERS.

WE'RE GOING TO HAVE PARTIES.

WE'RE GOING TO GO DOWN IN THE ISLANDS AND OH, HE WAS DREAMING AGAIN OF ALL THE THINGS THAT HE WAS GOING TO DO.

BARELY GOT THE PASS FOR MOUNT SNOW, LET ALONE ANYTHING ELSE.

THAT WAS ABOUT IT.

>> LOOKING AT THE MOUNTAIN, WE CAN SEE THE VAST NETWORK OF TRAILS AND SLOPES.

EACH YEAR, NEW TRAILS AND LIFTS ARE BEING ADDED OFFERING THE SKIER AN EXTREMELY WIDE CHOICE OF TERRAIN.

>> WALT FOUND THE PERFECT MOUNTAIN.

HE FOUND THE MOUNTAIN THAT HAS TO PERFECT BALANCE OF CHALLENGE AND COMFORT.

WHEN YOU SKI THIS MOUNTAIN, YOU FEEL GOOD.

>> THE TRAIL LAYOUT HERE WAS THE FIRST SENSIBLE APPROACH THAT I'VE SEEN TO REAL TRAILS AS THEY ARE TODAY.

BUT MOST OF HIS TRAILS WERE TO THE CENTER.

IN OTHER WORDS, IF YOU GOT OFF THE CENTER OF THE TRAIL, YOU DIDN'T GO FLYING INTO THE WOODS SOME PLACE.

>> LAYING OUT A SKI TRAIL IS AN ART, AND, YOU KNOW, WALTER IN A SENSE IN ADDITION TO BEING A GENIUS, HE WAS ALSO AN ARTIST OF SORTS AND HE SCULPTED THE MOUNTAIN AND HE SCULPTED THE BASE AREA.

>> HE JUST HAD A FEELING FOR THE TERRAIN AND THIS WOULD BE GOOD AND WE'D NEED AN UPSWEEP THIS WAY AND A LITTLE CURVE HERE.

AND HE'D CUT IT THAT WAY AND THEN GRADE IT.

AND HE STOOD OUT THERE AND HE TOLD THE GUYS WHAT HE WANTED, THE BULLDOZE OPERATORS WHAT HE WANTED.

HE KNEW EXACTLY HOW TO DO IT.

>> THIS LIFT HAS CAPACITY OF 1,200 SKIERS PER HOUR.

>> HIS IDEA OF CHAIR LIFTS WAS ORIGINAL.

HE HAD CHAIRS DRAWN BY CHAINS THAT WERE ORIGINALLY, I THINK, THE IDEA THAT THEY USED TO USE IN MEAT LOCKERS WHEN THEY WERE SLAUGHTERING BEEF AND SO ON, USED TO HANG THEM ON CHAINS AND CHAINS WOULD GO INTO THE FREEZER AND SO ON.

>> WALTER DIDN'T INVENT THE LINK BUILT TRAM SYSTEM.

LINK BELT INVENTED IT PROBABLY FOR THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY WHERE WALTER FIRST SAW IT.

HAULING FENDERS DOWN INTO BATHS.

WATER WAS ATTRACTIVE FOR ONE REASON.

THAT WAS, HIS OBJECTIVE WAS 1,200 SKIERS AN HOUR.

1,200 SKIERS AN HOUR IS TWO SKIERS GETTING OFF A CHAIR EVERY SIX SECONDS.

NOTHING IN SKIING CAME CLOSE TO THAT.

STOWE'S CHAIR WAS 175 SKIERS AN HOUR.

NOT 1,200.

>> WHO SAID THE CAPACITY OF 1,200 PER HOUR?

>> MY ROOMMATE FROM COLLEGE HAD A GIRLFRIEND WITH A WHITE SKI PARKA AND THAT EARLY LIFT DRIPPED GREASE ON THE WHITE SKI PARKA AMONG EVERYBODY ELSE'S BUT IT SHOWED UP MUCH MORE PROMINENTLY ON THE WHITE SKI PARKA AND IT BECAME KIND OF A TRADEMARK.

I SKIED AT MOUNT SNOW.

I HAVE GREASE ON MY PARKA.

>> THERE'S EVEN ONE LIFT THAT WILL BRING YOU FROM THE HOTEL TO THE BASE LODGE.

>> HE LOVED THAT, IT'S WHERE HE BROUGHT IT GOING FROM SNOW LAKE LODGE TO THE BASE LODGE.

HE WANTED TO GET PEOPLE OUT OF THEIR AUTOMOBILES.

>> THAT PLACE WAS JUST LOADED WITH EXTREME IDEAS, YOU KNOW, 400 FOOT FOUNTAIN.

>> I THINK THE FOUNTAIN KIND OF DID ME IN WITH WALT.

HE'D BEEN TO GENEVA AND SEEN THIS 400 FOOT FOUNTAIN.

>> FOUNTAIN MOUNTAIN WAS FROM A FOUNTAIN THAT HE THOUGHT WOULD LOOK NICE IN THE SUMMER IN THE LAKE.

AND AS I RECALL, THE PIPES FROZE IN THE WINTER SO THE SOLUTION TO THAT WAS TO KEEP THE PIPES RUNNING THROUGHOUT THE WINTER AND IT BUILT UP A TREMENDOUS MOUND OF ICE.

THE FIRST YEAR WASN'T ALL THAT BIG.

BUT THEN IT GOT TO BE A GAME TO SEE HOW BIG IT COULD GET.

AND IT GOT TO A PRETTY ENORMOUS PROPORTIONS.

BUT IT WAS A GREAT PLACE TO FOOL AROUND IN THE SPRING AND SLED AND SKI AND THERE WERE RACES ON IT.

AND IT WAS A TRADEMARK OF SNOW LAKE LODGES AS WELL SO SEE HOW MUCH ICE YOU COULD HAVE ON YOUR WINDSHIELD IN THE PARKING LOT.

>> NOBODY WANTED THE FOUNTAIN.

THE BANKERS, NOBODY WANTED THE FOUNTAIN.

JUST WALT.

WE HAD A $45,000 BUDGET FOR THIS FOUNTAIN.

I KNOW THAT IT WENT OVER $200,000.

>> ANYTHING THAT WAS A LITTLE OUT OF THE ORDINARY, DAD LIKED TO DO.

>> NO ONE HAD EVER PUT A 500 GALLON TROPICAL FISH TANK INSIDE A SKI LODGE.

>> WELL, THOSE FISH ALL FROZE.

>> WALTER HAD GOTTEN SOME NOTORIETY FOR HAVING CONCEIVED THE IDEA OF DROPPING THE ATOMIC BOMB BETWEEN STRATTON MOUNTAIN AND MOUNT SNOW TO CREATE A BOWL THAT WOULD PROVIDE SUFFICIENT VERTICAL DISSENT SO WE COULD HAVE 800 VERTICAL METERS TO HOST THE OLYMPICS.

>> HERE'S A COPY OF HIS PRESS RELEASE WHICH IS UNDATED BUT WE KNOW THAT IT WAS 1963.

IT WOULD CREATE A BOWL NEARLY 1700 FEET IN DIAMETER AND AS DEEP AS 400 FEET.

AND IT MIGHT INCREASE SNOW CAPACITY AND OPEN NEW UNDERGROUND WATER SOURCES.

THE IDEA THAT SET OFF AN ATOMIC BOMB THAT MIGHT DO SOMETHING IS JUST A REALLY SOMETHING TO BE CONTEMPLATED.

>> YES, IT WAS ALL SHOWMANSHIP.

>> AS A KID, I KNEW THAT MOUNT SNOW WAS SOMETHING SPECIAL.

I KNEW THAT IT WAS DIFFERENT FROM OTHER SKI AREAS.

IT WAS SORT OF LIKE HAVING DISNEY WORLD HERE IN THE VALLEY AND WE SORT OF LIKE LOOKED AT WALT SCHOENKNECHT AS THE WALT DISNEY OF THE SKI INDUSTRY.

>> WHEN THE TRADITIONAL THING TO DO TO BUILD THE MOST MODERN OF SKI RESORTS WAS TO WAS INSIDE THE BASE LODGE BUILD A HEATED SWIMMING POOL AND THEN FLOOD SOMEWHERE OUTSIDE AND LET PEOPLE SKATE.

WALT PUT THE SKATING RINK INSIDE AND THE SWIMMING POOL OUTSIDE >> THE INDOOR SKATING RINK IS FROZEN YEAR ROUND AND FORM OF ENTERTAINMENT FOR BOTH YOUNG AND OLD.

HERE IN THE SWIMMING POOL, IT'S KEPT AT 102 DEGREES DURING THE WINTER OFFERING SWIMMING IN SUBZERO TEMPERATURES.

EVEN THE TERRACE IS RADIANT HEATED.

HOT WATER SWIMMING REALLY RELAXES TIRED SKI MUSCLES.

THE LOUNGE MIRROR LOUNGE REFLECTS THE SUN'S RAYS INTO THE OOL AND PROVIDES AN EXCELLENT PLACE TO SUN-BATHE AND THESE GIRLS ARE DOING IT.

>> I CAN STILL SEE THOSE PEOPLE SWIMMING IN THAT POOL COMING OUT OF THERE AND THE GIRLS PARTICULARLY, THEY'D COME OUT AND THEIR HAIR WOULD JUST BE FROZEN UP LIKE THIS.

>> OF COURSE, MOUNT SNOW HAS TWO HEATED OUTDOOR SWIMMING POOLS AND AN INDOOR POOL.

AND THERE ARE JAPANESE DREAM POOLS IN THE SNOW LAKE LODGE.

ONE COLD, ONE HOT, TO RELAX YOU AFTER A DAY OF SKIING.

>> WALT HAD THE IDEA OF A JAPANESE DREAM POOL.

AND HE ASSEMBLED A LOT OF TROPICAL PLANTS AND THIS WAS, I DON'T THINK THE POOL IS QUITE FINISHED BUT HE HAD ALL THESE PLANTS THAT HAD ARRIVED FROM THE SOUTH, AND AS I REMEMBER, EVERY SINGLE ONE FROZE.

>> DAD LIKED TREES OF ALL KINDS.

HE'D TRY GROWING THINGS ANYWHERE, STUFF THAT WASN'T SUPPOSED TO GROW IN VERMONT, HE COULD MAKE GROW.

IF IT DIDN'T GROW OUTSIDE, HE'D GROW IT INSIDE.

>> IT WAS A SATURDAY AND HE WAS RUNNING THROUGH THE BASE LODGE AND HE WAS VERY BUSY, AND HE COULDN'T STOP.

AND I SAID I REALLY NEED TO TALK TO YOU.

HE SAID NOT NOW.

I'VE GOT 100 THINGS THAT I GOT TO DO.

I SAID I WANT TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT YOUR TREES.

AND HE SAID OH, SHALL WE SIT HERE?

>> MOUNT SNOW WESTOVER, VERMONT FOR A DEMONSTRATION OF SKI TECHNIQUES BY THE DIRECTOR HARVEY CLIFFORD, INTERNATIONAL RACER AND OLYMPIC COACH.

HERE IS THE PROPER WAY TO CARRY YOUR SKIS.

HARVEY RECOMMEDS THAT ALL BEGINNERS HAVE THEIR EQUIPMENT CHECKED BY AN EXPERT BEFORE STARTING FOR THE SLOPES.

>> SKI SCHOOL AT THAT TIME WAS REPUTED TO BE THE BEST SKI SCHOOL IN NORTH AMERICA.

WE HAD VERY STRICT INSTRUCTIONS WHEN WE CAME HERE.

WE HAD WHITE CLEAN TURTLENECKS, OUR BOOTS HAD TO BE SPIT SHINED.

I THINK THAT THE SKI INSTRUCTORS WERE SELECTED BASED ON THE ABILITY TO BE ABLE TO MINGLE WITH THE PEOPLE AFTER SKIING AS WELL.

WE HAD EVENING ENTERTAINMENT FOR THE PUPIL.

WE ACTUALLY PUT ON SKITS OURSELVES.

WE HAD A LOT OF FUN.

>> WHEN HE STEPPED ON TWO WHILE WALKING DOWN THE GLACIER.

>> THE SKI INSTRUCTORS WEREN'T THE SORT OF HAUGHTY TYPE.

THESE GUYS WERE USED TO TAKING OUT CLASSES EVERY DAY AND HAVING LUNCH WITH THEIR CLASS.

MAYBE HAVING DINNER OR HAVING A FEW BEERS AFTER SKIING WITH THEIR CLASS.

AND GOING TO BED WITH SOME OF THEIR CLASS.

NO, BUT THE -- IT WAS -- THEY WERE ENTERTAINING.

>> OH, YES.

>> WORN OUT THERE.

>> ARRIVED JUST IN TIME TO ORGANIZE THE 10:00 LESSON.

>> WALT HAD A VERY STRONG IDENTIFICATION WITH GUYS WHO DIDN'T HAVE A LOT OF MONEY AND GUYS WHO WANTED TO SKI.

SO WALT'S CONTRIBUTION TO THAT END OF IT WAS TO TRY TO PUT TOGETHER A LEARNING TO SKI WEEK THAT WAS SO INEXPENSIVE, IT WAS ABSOLUTELY IRRESISTABLE.

WELL, AT $29.95 I THINK WAS THE TICKET THAT INCLUDED THE LESSONS, $59.95 WAS A BUNK ROOM AND FOOD.

TWO MEALS.

AND TICKET AND LESSONS FOR A WEEK.

>> I CAN STILL SEE THAT AD, $27.50 AND WE'RE SCRATCHING OUR HEADS SAYING HOW CAN THEY DO THAT?

THEY COULDN'T.

>> HE WAS ALWAYS IN FINANCIAL DIFFICULTY AND THAT WAS USUALLY THE SUBJECT OF THE MOMENT, YOU KNOW.

MY GOODNESS, WHAT AM I GOING TO DO NOW?

>> I WAS ASKING HIM HOW WE WERE GOING TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM AND WALTER LOOKED AT ME AND SAID JOHN, LET'S RISE ABOVE IT.

>> MOM REALLY HELD AN AWFUL LOT OF IT TOGETHER BEHIND THE SCENES.

SHE WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR KEEPING HIS FEET ON THE GROUND.

>> OH, EVERYTHING HE WAS GOING TO DO WAS GOING TO BE SUCCESSFUL.

THERE'S NO DOUBT IN HIS MIND!

SOMETIMES WE HAD TO MAKE LITTLE ADJUSTMENTS.

>> THOUGHT DIFFERENTLY FROM THE WAY THE REST OF US THINK AND THAT WAS BOTH WHAT CREATED MOUNT SNOW AND CONTRIBUTED TO WHAT HAPPENED AT MOUNT SNOW.

>> WALTER REALLY HAD TO GIVE UP MUCH OF THE COMPANY AND THEN WATCHED IT GO THROUGH QUITE A SLIDE WHICH WAS VERY PAINFUL TO HIM.

I'M TALKING ABOUT THE MID 1970s PERIOD WHERE IT WAS INVOLVED.

>> THE BIGGEST PROBLEM MOUNT SNOW HAD WAS THE FACT THAT FROM THE EARLY 1970s TO BEFORE IT WAS PURCHASED BY THE CORPORATION, IT DIDN'T SNOW.

>> AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS WINTER, THERE WAS A LOT OF PUBLICITY, LOT OF TALK ABOUT MOUNT SNOW BEING IN GRAVE FINANCIAL DIFFICULTIES.

WELL, IN THE WINTER OF 1976, ONE OF THE BEST WINTERS WE'VE HAD IN AT LEAST FIVE YEARS, AND HERE AT MOUNT SNOW, WE'RE TALK WITH AAN, GENERAL MANAGER.

ALAN, HOW ARE THINGS GOING?

>> THINGS ARE GOING WELL FOR US.

WE'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF ONE OF OUR BEST WINTERS WE'VE EVER HAD, AND I THINK THAT IF THIS KEEPS UP THE WAY IT'S GOING SO FAR, I THINK WE'RE GOING TO, YOU KNOW, LOOK LIKE REAL HEROES.

>> MY SENSE IS THAT DAVOS TENDED TO LOOK AT THIS LIKE THEIR OTHER INVESTMENTS.

AND, YOU KNOW, MEAT PACKING PLANT IS DIFFERENT FROM A SKI AREA.

>> MOUNT SNOW HAD BUILT THEIR REPUTATION ON SKATING RINKS AND SWIMMING POOLS AND FOUNTAIN MOUNTAIN AND THEY DIDN'T REALLY HAVE ANY SNOWMAKING.

OUR FIRST MISSION WE KNEW WAS WE NEEDED TO MAKE SOME MONEY AT THIS PLACE.

SO WE FELT THAT THE COST OF HEATING THE POOL AND THE SKATING RINK AND RUNNING THE AIR CART WHICH WAS TOTALLY INEFFICIENT WAS TOO MUCH FOR US TO ABSORB SO WE REALLY TOOK AWAY A LOT OF THOSE AMENITIES AND NOW AS WE LOOK BACK OVER 17 YEARS, I WISH WE STILL HAD THE SWIMMING POOL IN FRONT OF THE BASE LODGE.

>> THE NEW MANAGEMENT WAS IN THE PROCESS OF MAKING MOUNT SNOW A BIT MORE SERIOUS AND GETTING RID OF THE FRILLS.

FRILLS BEING THE OUTDOOR POOL AND THE INDOOR SKATING RINK.

BUT THERE WAS STILL A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF FUN TO BE HAD.

>> ♪ EACH TIME THEY DANCED TO THE WIND ♪ ♪ I COULD HEAR THE BELLS JOIN IN ♪ ♪ TO FILL THE MOUNTAINS AND THE VALLEYS WITH THEIR SONG ♪ >> EVERY YEAR, WE ADDED TO THE SNOWMAKING AND EITHER ADDED OR REPLACED A LIFT OR DID A MAJOR UPGRADE.

THE LAST GONDOLA WENT OUT IN 1987, WAS REPLACED WITH ATTACHABLE QUAD.

>> THEY'VE EXPANDED THEIR TRAILS.

THEY'VE PURCHASED CORINTHIA SKI AREA AND PURCHASED MANY OF THE SURROUNDING REAL ESTATE AREAS.

OF COURSE, I WASN'T SMART ENOUGH TO BUY SOME REAL ESTATE, MAKE A MILLION.

THEY PAID THEIR BILLS PROMPTLY AND MANAGEMENT HAS SEEMED TO BE DOING A GOOD JOB.

>> I THINK WE'VE, YOU KNOW, REALLY MADE THE TRANSITION INTO THE 1990s AT MOUNT SNOW.

WE GOT INTO THE SNOWBOARDING PROGRAM HERE AND WE REALLY PUT IN THE FIRST SNOWBOARD PARK IN THE EAST TWO YEARS AGO.

OTHER THING WE'VE DONE AT MOUNT SNOW THAT I THINK IS REALLY FUN IS THE BEAR TRAP BUMP TRAIL.

WE WIDENED IT AND PUT SNOWMAKING ON IT AND PUT A 600 WATT SOUND SYSTEM WITH BIG BLOWOUT SPEAKERS ON EVERY TOWER.

WE PLAY ROCK 'N' ROLL MUSIC ON BEAR TRAP ALL DAY LONG.

AND IT'S TURNED INTO A HAPPENING.

WE'VE ADDED SNOWMOBILE TOURS.

WE'VE ADDED ICE SKATING.

WE'VE ADDED A SLEDDING HILL WITH LIGHTS AT NIGHT.

>> OTHER THING, I THINK, THAT WE'RE ALL VERY GRATEFUL FOR IS THAT MOUNT SNOW BOUGHT HAYSTACK.

>> I ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT THE POSSIBILITY THAT MOUNT SNOW AND HAYSTACK WOULD GET TOGETHER, ALL RIGHT, WAS ALWAYS GOING TO HAPPEN.

>> I THINK IF WALT CAME BACK TO MOUNT SNOW TODAY AND TOOK A LOOK AT THE MOUNTAIN AND TOOK A LOOK AT WHAT WE WERE DOING AT MOUNT SNOW, HE WOULD PROBABLY HAVE ABOUT 10 GREAT IDEAS HE'D WANT TO SHARE WITH US RIGHT AWAY.

>> I KNOW HE'LL SAY, THAT IS MY MOUNTAIN.

THAT IS MY DREAM.

AND I DREAMT THIS, AND HERE IT IS.

>> I'VE GOT ALL OF THE OLD PLANS AND MAPS AND ALL THE HAIR BRAINED SCHEMES THAT HE HAD.

WE'RE STARTING TO CYCLE BACK NOW TO SOME OF THE THINGS THAT HE DID.

>> THAT'S NICE THAT THINGS ARE COMING FULL CIRCLE, AND THAT THE MOUNTAIN IS OFFERING MORE.

>> HE'D JUST WONDER WHERE THE POOL IS.

THAT'S THE ONLY THING MISSING.

>> THE GREATNESS OF MOUNT SNOW IS STILL AHEAD OF IT, I'M SURE.

EVERY DAY YOU GO UP ON THE MOUNTAIN, IT'S DIFFERENT.

THAT'S WHY SKIING IS GOING TO BE AROUND A LONG TIME BECAUSE 40 YEARS AGO, IT WAS NO DIFFERENT.

PEOPLE WERE COMING HERE FOR THE SAME THRILLS.

>> I DON'T SEE A REASON, IT SHOULDN'T BE THE SAME.

FOREVER.

AND EVER.
