. “Another Disneyland” is
what Grouse Mountain
Resorts’ Mike Powley would =

Tike to. see the area become.

Faced: with the close of
another winter season during
‘which the resort didn’t even
break even, he welcomes
Paradise Bowl as a chance to
bolster up the resort from the
financial bashing it’s taken —
from. two successive unus-—
ually mild winters.

As is to be expected, the .
promoters are exuding confi-
dence that everything will
work out and they will not be.
caught by any unforseen ©
eventualities.

"With a “media helicopter 7

tour of the. area and ©
invitations to local residents
to preview the arrangements
for free, they’re going to
pains to project an air of
perfect organization and.
security arrangements,’
where positivity is the key
word.
