It has built and maintained on the Leased Premises ski lifts, ski runs, day lodges, restaurants and other winter and summer recreational and resort facilities associated with the operation of a recreational resort. In doing so it has invested over $100 million on the Leased Premises since the eafly 1970°s. Without the Leased Premises, the Resort could not operate, because the Leased Premises comprise most of the Resort’s skiable terrain, 8. Although much of the Resort's skiable terrain is covered by the Leases, the Resort's base facilities, parking facilities and Town Lift base facilities are located on lands owned in fee by GPC and its affiliates. GPCC owns outright the water, snowmaking and sewer infrastructure necessary for the operation of the Resort. 17, After the Resort refused 0 12 and 13, would increase the Resort's operating costs so significantly that it would not BES aT ee FP HE: ultimately make it impossible for the Resort to continue in business.
