How well the state of California has succeeded in preparing for her guests can be best summarized by statistics: 45 miles of cross-country runs, 14 miles of downhill trail and, of course, the great
jump, 1,300 feet from top to bottom, are all ready and now being tested by advance contingents of skiers; three
ski lifts have been constructed at a cost of $ 600,000; $ 50,000 has been spent to secure Squaw against the chance of avalanche; communications on the downhill courses require 80 miles of telephone wire; blasting the trails smooth took two tons of dynamite; 12 miles of construction road were built; it took 50 men and $ 250,000 to build the
ski jump.
