Saskatchewan needs a mountain!
And we'll pay you $10 a ton to build it.
Yeah, that's it 20 years from now you'll have a custom designed mountain with groomed slopes so goddam good all those rich folks who ski Whistler will want to go there instead!
You'll be able to rent out a stall in the barn for $300 a night.
They'll build your own superhighway!
You could even go for the 2032 Olympics!
Saskatchewan is way ahead of you
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackstrap_Ski_Hill$1:
The hill was built by the Canadian government for the 1971 Canada Winter Games. The mountain was built with soil and garbage from Saskatoon. The theme for the Saskatoon bid for the 1971 Canada Games was "Going to build a mountain" in honor of the construction of the hill. The hill was closed permanently in 2008 due to declining ridership.
