Mopar Breakfast Cruise - A Few Pics
Nobody took a guess but I'll tell you anyway. It was one of the most crackpot ideas of all time.
It was called "Ski Villa", a 7-acre artificial ski area. An unknown developer bought the land and decided to put in a year-round ski area in northeast Orange County at a cost of $750,000 (in 1966 dollars), complete with 3 rope tows and offering a 1/4-mile ski run. The land was graded to the specified profile, a 2" base of mastic cement put down and topped with 1.3-million interlocking 6-inch tiles of plastic bristles with a 1" nap. It operated for 1 year before closing.
As you can see, the land still hasn't recovered after 42 years of lying dormant.
