TERRACE — Investors in the
Shames Mountain ski develop-
ment will have the first oppor-
tunity to buy cabin lots on the

mountain, says a spokesman

responsible for the project.

Larry Krause said the oppor-

tunity is one way to attract in-
vestors to the project,

“'They’ll have the first oppor- :

tunity but they won’t be getting
a special deal — nobody is.
Those lots will be sold at fair
market value,” said Krause. .
Although it is too early to
predict when the .corporation
wants to develop the lots and

‘how many there will be, Krause

said revenues will be used to
help finance the second phase of
the ski area,
