<br />'.~. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />r <br /> <br />Mrs. Barbara Welles <br />September 22, 1982 <br />Page Three <br /> <br />Case 2 - 8,152 skier days x $93.92 per skier day = $765,635, involving <br />approximately 51 seasonal jobs, in a slightly above normal year. <br />Rationale: 81,520 x 10% = 8,152. <br /> <br />A second means of assessing the economic impact of bad snow on the <br />Beaver Creek Ski Area and the Town of Avon would be to utilize the economic <br />data from the Gage Davis economic study done for the Vail and Beaver Creek <br />and local economies. Utilizing their economic data of $101.86 per skier day <br />x 24,450 lost skiers, an economic loss of $2,491,088, would result assuming <br />no weather modification at all. In Case 2, the economic impact of cloud <br />seeding on slightly higher than normal snowfall, would be 8,152 additional <br />skier days x $101.86 per skier day = $830,363. <br /> <br />In either case, the economic benefits far outweigh the initial cost. <br />Although this sort of analysis can be applied to any existing resort, they <br />are particularly meaningful to Beaver Creek as we strive to establish a <br />reputation which will encourage early season attendance and provide the <br />best possible skiing product to our guests. <br /> <br />~~- <br /> <br />~:'~~Cy, Manager <br />Vail Planning & Technical <br /> <br />JM:rm <br />050/82/089 <br /> <br />, <br /> <br />cc: Larry Hjermstad, Western Weather <br /> <br />7c <br />
