                        Thursday, April 5, 2018

  Mr. COOK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Snow Valley Mountain 
Resort, which has been named the Lake Arrowhead Communities Chamber of 
Commerce Business of the Year. Snow Valley is the oldest continually 
operating ski resort in Southern California, having begun operations in 
1924.
  Celebrating their 80th year anniversary this 2017-2018 ski season, 
Snow Valley employs nearly 400 people during their high season. They 
have consistently contributed and stimulated the local tourist economy 
of the area. Snow Valley instructors have taught thousands how to ski 
and snow board at their Learning Center, which includes an Adaptive 
Learning Facility. Additionally, Snow Valley has been active in the 
local community by supporting projects including the Active 
Transportation Project grant program and the Running Springs to Big 
Bear trail system. The Resort was also one of the driving forces behind 
the construction of the first hospital in Lake Arrowhead.
  On behalf of the U.S. House of Representatives, I would like to thank 
Snow Valley for their contributions to the local economy in Lake 
Arrowhead, as well as being an important part of the culture, history, 
and heritage of our local mountain communities.
