﻿Many 
  ski 
  areas 
  have 
  developed 
  into 
  

   year-around 
  recreation 
  centers 
  to 
  

   realize 
  an 
  adequate 
  return 
  on 
  their 
  

   capital 
  investnnient 
  in 
  lodges 
  and 
  

   lifts. 
  Summer 
  use 
  of 
  lifts, 
  such 
  

   as 
  is 
  shown 
  here 
  at 
  Alyeska 
  near 
  

   Anchorage, 
  Alaska, 
  enables 
  non- 
  

   skiers, 
  too, 
  to 
  enjoy 
  the 
  alpine 
  

   country. 
  Many 
  ski 
  areas 
  are 
  be- 
  

   coming 
  focal 
  points 
  for 
  develop- 
  

   ments 
  of 
  recreation 
  homes- 
  -such 
  

   as 
  those 
  near 
  the 
  Cloudcroft 
  Ski 
  

   Area 
  in 
  New 
  Mexico. 
  The 
  skier 
  

   can 
  have 
  a 
  home 
  of 
  his 
  own 
  near 
  the 
  

   slopes 
  during 
  the 
  winter 
  months, 
  as 
  

   well 
  as 
  a 
  summer
