Comments & Discussion
The ends are re-enforced around the holes at each end.
Keystone and Arapahoe Basin were under the same ownership during the 1987-88 season. Ralston Purina acquired Arapahoe Basin in 1974. Keystone was acquired by the same company in 1978.
North Peak was a part of Keystone Ski Resort, but it was a new addition at this point, so the name’s inclusion on this ticket was likely just related to marketing and branding. North Peak was added to Keystone in 1984.
Condition, Aging & Authenticity: There is lots of bending and creasing of the surface, but no tears or major damage. The black marker ink has bled through to the backside significantly.
