mtnrat, your wrong about the ski hill collecting surface runoff and collecting it in an underground resevoir. During the "on season" most of the potable water it brought from an aquifer located at the Elk River. From the little building on the other side of the locked gate, pretty much at the bottom of the hill… you probally know where I mean. During the "off season" most of the potable water is gathered from springs located on the ski hill, and moved through the little hut on the lizard run, to add chlorine, then stored in two underground resevoirs, creating the large lizard jump right beside the little hut, and is still supplemented by the River Aquifer with the "river pump". There would never be enough surface runoff to supply the hill all summer long, never mind all winter long, when there is no surface runoff… The bears den water use to be run off… 7 years ago.. but now its t’d off of the snow making line, non treated… don’t drink it.
