Sales tax revenues under Alternative Two attributable to skiers are estimated at $237,446 in 1995, $442,837 in 2005, and $669,326 in 2020. They are identical for Alternative Three in the first two time periods and somewhat lower in 2020. I I These estimates of sales tax revenues are conservative because they do not account for any sales to sUImle"r tourists and do not account for growth in retail sales due to inflation. Nevertheless, with current sales tax revenues to Mineral COunty at $32,000 in 1982, Wolf Creek Valley sales tax revenues from tourism will exceed the current county total by 1995 under either of the alternatives and would increase by even more through 2020. Under Alternative TWo, annual collections for sales taxes could increase more than twenty-fold over current levels, almost equaling total 1984 revenues from all sources. 231
