  • Little Assurance That Fair Market Value Fees Are Collected from Ski Areas
    IJnilnxI States Gcnerltl Accounting Office Report; to the Chairman, Environment, GAO Energy, and Natural Resources Subcommittee, Committee on Government Operations, House of Representatives FOREST SERVICE: Little Assurance That Fair Market Value Fees Are Collected From Ski Areas United States General Accounting Offke GAO Washington, D.C. 20548 Resources, Community, and Economic Development Division B-261988 April 16, 1993 The Honorable Mike Synar Chairman, Environment, Energy, and Natural Resources Subcommittee Committee on Government Operations House of Representatives Dear Mr. Chairman: The Department of Agriculture’s Forest Service, as required by law, is to receive fees that are based on fair market value from permittees operating ski areas on its land. In 1991, privately owned ski areas operating on Forest Service land generated $737 million in gross sales. After adjustments reflecting the revenues generated from federal land were made, these areas paid about $13.5 million in fees, or about 2.2 percent of the total revenues generated, to the government. Concerned about the amount of fees paid, you asked us (1) whether fees generated by the Forest Service’s graduated rate fee system (GRFS) represent fair market value for the use of the land, (2) whether a fee system developed by the ski industry would collect fair market value, and (3) how the ski industry’s system compares with GRFs. This report is part of our continuing review of concession issues. In 1991, we reported that there were over 9,000 concessioners operating on federal recreation land.’ These concessioners paid the government about $36 million in fees-about 2 percent of the over $1.4 billion in revenues they generated.

  • 2019 Annual Report
    2019 Annual Report www.wsssm.org NEW: 2019 Exhibit on Avalanche Dogs Thank You for Your Support! Dear WSSSM Family, As I write this 2019 Annual Report (now in 2020), I reflect on a different time at WSSSM. Back in 2019 we were hosting visitors, parties, private events (look at the crowded museum) gleefully without face masks or hand sanitizer. Now we have pivoted to online collections and Zoom events. In 2019, we said a huge thank you to Hugh Armstrong, co-founder of the museum with wife, Dollie, who became our first board directors emeritus. We are delighted that the Armstrong Family continues on the WSSSM Board of Directors with legendary daughter and Olympic Gold Medalist, Deb Armstrong. We are also thrilled to welcome long –time ski industry veteran John Sutherland, marketing expert Christie King, and The Summit’s General Manager, Guy Lawrence to our WSSSM Board. Lastly, thank you so much for your support after the passing of my wife of 50 years, Susan Moffett. Susan was a history major in college and champion and supporter of the museum. She reveled in seeing so many long-time friends at our events. I look forward to seeing many of you at the museum when we are able. 4th Anniversary Celebration For now, I say a huge THANK YOU for your continued support during this difficult time! Thank you! Susan & Dave Moffett David R. Moffett, WSSSM President [email protected] or 206.854.3626 PS: WSSSM volunteers are the best, but we need more of you!

It is a natualr extension of last year’s Ski Oregon Challenge. The Oregon Challenge continues this year, but many of us are turning our sights to Washington. The idea is to ski at least 10 of Washington’s 14 ski areas. You can do it in 5 to 7 weekends. Several people made plans to see, ski and ride all of Washington this season. There may be others too, that we don’t know about yet. 1. David Schor did it on a snowboard, and was the first one to visit all the areas. completeing all 12 ski resorts before the end of December. Good thing, because he then broke his leg on New Year’s Eve! See his blog at: http://skiwashington.blogspot.com. 2. McCoy Smith planned to do it on telemark skis as well as alpine skis, and also purchased an item at every ski area, just like he did last year. But, he spent a large part of the winter working outside the country, so he didn’t have enough time left to meet the challenge. 3. Emilio Trampuz met the challenget on mid-fat alpine skis, and taook lots of photos. 4. Ed Palmer is working on the challenge too. Watch out for this guy.
