                         KIDSLOPE PRESENTS:  LEARN-TO-SKI!
                               WHAT IS LEARN-TO-SKI?

         KidSlope, the only urban, year-round, artificial ski slope of its kind
         in the United States, is joining forces with the Colorado ski industry
         to offer children the opportunity to learn-to-ski, for free.

         The program, modeled after the successful annual learn-to-ski promotion
         in February at Colorado's mountain resorts, offers first-time skiers a
         free introductory lesson, including ski equipment.

                                WHY "LEARN-TO-SKI?"

         Offering new skiers the opportunity to try skiing has become a long
         term goal for the ski industry -- in Colorado and nationwide.  KidSlope
         makes this first time experience easy by offering beginner skiers an
         opportunity right here in Denver prior to visiting one of the
         larger mountain resorts.

         KidSlope's user-friendly, self-contained environment offers beginners
         an introduction to ski lessons.  By taking lessons at KidSlope,
         children are better prepared for the mountain ski resort experience.


                        KIDSLOPE DISABLED SKI PROGRAM FACTS

         KidSlope is an artificially surfaced ski slope offering year-round
         skiing to children in the Denver Metro area.  Located at the Children's

         United States.  In cooperation with Colorado Ski Country USA,
         KidSlope opened for skiing in November 1990.  To date, more than 35,000
         skiers and including Denver Public School students have learned to ski
         at KidSlope.

         Due to the success of its program, KidSlope is now offering a unique
         new program designed for the disabled skier.
