     heavily influenced by how investors perceive the snow
     situation."  American Skiing Co. Founder & CEO Les Otten:

     expecting business volumes to be ever so slightly changed
     from last year.  We're looking for a very, very modest
     increase in skier visits and looking for the opening of some
     of our real-estate projects" (DENVER POST, 10/17).
