Almost not sure why you'd bother making up cost benefits when you are purposely lowballing numbers to the people footing the bill. Well, actually I get they make it up I guess. Nearly triple the costs they claim, wild.

Got any data on summer vs winter? I imagine 172% is greatly skewed by summer since it is so much bigger and needs so many facilities. Winter gets to benefit greatly from gravity and mountains being free.
