CONSULTANT QUALIFICATIONS SUMMARY <br /> The preceding statements and conclusions are based on my ski area <br /> administrations and related experience while working for the U. S. <br /> Forest Service since 1945. The work included over fifty area feasi- <br /> bility reports and recommendations for the Rocky Mountain Region (R-2) <br /> in Colorado and Wyoming, plus a few in New Mexico and Arizona (R-3) , <br /> some of which are: Vail, Snowmass, Copper Mountain, Aspen Highlands, <br /> Breckenridge, Sunlight, Lake Eldora, Powderhorn, Medicine Bow, Arizona <br /> Snow-Bowl, Beaver Creek and Buttermilk Mountain. <br /> I also prepared the inventory (fieldwork and abstracts) for nearly <br /> twenty potential ski area sites on the White River National Forest <br /> during the late 1960's. Other related work included: the preparation <br /> of special use permits (study, conditional and construction) for several <br /> of the areas mentioned above; avalanche control and training workshops; <br /> heading up the alpine events site selection team for the ill-fated 1976 <br /> Winter Olympics bid by Denver; assignment to work as a member of the <br /> avalanche control team for the 1960 Winter Olympics at Squaw Valley; a <br /> dual role as District Ranger at Dillon, Colorado, and Snow Ranger from <br /> 1952 to 1957 at Arapahoe Basin where I had the full responsibility for <br /> avalanche control and other administrative jobs; and, in 1954, while at <br /> Dillon I recommended the now very popular Copper Mountain ski area for a <br /> major development when exploratory work started on the Eisenhower Tunnel. <br /> Copper, by the way, was also my first choice for all alpine skiing <br /> events for Denver's Olympics bid. <br /> During the 1961-62 winter I did the avalanche control work - with the <br /> help of young foresters and my teenage son - on a "moonlighting" basis <br /> for Mid-Continent at the No. 1 or Dutch Creek mine site. <br /> Material from other sources covering my background and experience <br /> follows this summary. <br /> 4 9- <br />
