Historical Dating Comments
This came directly to the archives from the original owner. This ticket was used while on a vacation during the 1989–1990 season. The sale included a large lot of ephemera from the trip, also supporting this date.
The ticket’s punch holes indicate it was used between January 28th and February 2nd in 1990.

Comments & Discussion
This is a 5-day ticket. The staff at the ticket window highlighted the days that it could be used, and then punched the holes as the ticket was used each day. This ticket was manufactured by Weldon, Williams & Lick, Inc., a company from Fort Smith Arkansas that is suspected of also making this ticket.
While it says “Good on Peaks 8, 9, 10”, keep in mind that these were the only peaks within the ski area boundaries at the time. Peaks 6 and 7 had not yet been added onto the resort’s territory.
Condition, Aging & Authenticity: Very minor surface crinkling, no major creases. There are signs of genuine aging and no concerns about authenticity.
