PART 1.  NOTES TO (UNAUDITED) CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.   In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying
     unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
     contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the
     financial position as of January 28, 1996, July 31,1995
     and January 29, 1995, the results of operations
     for the three months and six months ended January
     28, 1996 and January 29, 1995 and cash flows for the
     six months ended January 28,1996 and January 29,
     1995.  All such adjustments are of a normal
     recurring nature with the exception of the sale of
     the majority of Bear Mountain assets.  The unaudited
     condensed consolidated financial statements should
     be read in conjunction with the following notes and
     the consolidated financial statements in the 1995
     Annual Report to the Securities and Exchange
     Commission on Form 10-K.
     
2.   Bear Mountain Sale

     On October 23, 1995 the Company sold a majority of
     the ski resort related and golf course assets of
     Bear Mountain to Fibreboard Corporation for
     approximately $20,500,000.  The transaction had the
     following noncash impact on the balance sheet:
     
     
      Increase in current assets, net                       $   263,812
      Decrease in property, plant and equipment, net        (23,833,271)
      Increase in other non-current liabilities, net            231,226
                                                            ____________
                                                          $ (23,338,233)

3.   Income Taxes

     The provision for taxes on income is based on a
     projected annual effective tax rate.  The Company
     has reflected an effective tax rate through the
     second quarter of approximately 39%.
     
     Deferred income taxes include the cumulative
     reduction in current taxes payable resulting
     principally from the excess of depreciation reported
     for tax purposes over that reported for financial
     purposes.
     
4.   Seasonal Business

     Results for interim periods are not indicative of
     results to be expected for the year, due to the
     seasonal nature of the business (skiing resorts).
     
5.   Net Income per Common Share
     
     Earnings per Common Share figures are based on the
     average shares outstanding during the second quarter
     of Fiscal 1996 of 5,788,445 and year to date Fiscal
     1996 of 5,787,611 (5,782,995 in second quarter
     Fiscal 1995 and 5,782,503 year to date Fiscal 1995).
     Shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options
     grants have not been included in the per share
     computation because they would not have a material
     effect on earnings per share.
     
6.   Stock Options

     The 1988 Incentive Stock Option Plan authorized
     168,750 shares of common stock to be optioned.  On
     November 18, 1994 the stockholders approved an
     additional 100,000 shaares.  In the second quarter
     of Fiscal 1996 3,250 shares were exercised and 1,500
     shares were forfeited. In the first quarter of
     Fiscal 1996, 1,700 shares were exercised and 4,050
     shares were forfeited.
     
     The 1982 Stock Option Plan authorized 187,500 shares
     of common stock to be optioned.  No shares were
     granted, exercised or forfeited under this plan
     during the first or second quarters 1996.
     
7.   General Liability

     Provision is made for the estimated costs under the
     deductible portion of S-K-I's general liability
     insurance policies.  The balance of such reserves at
     January 28, 1996, July 31, 1995 and January 29, 1995
     were $4,804,779, $5,765,878, and $3,556,741
     respectively.  Of such amounts, $4,118,382,
     $4,432,027 and $3,048,634 are included in other long-
     term liabilities at January 28, 1996, July 31, 1995
     and January 29, 1995, respectively, with the
     remaining balance included in other accrued
     expenses.
     
8.   Postretirement Health Care and Life Insurance Benefits

     The Company does not provide health care and life
     insurance benefits for retired employees who reach
     normal retirement age.  The adoption of SFAS No.
     106, Employer's Accounting for Postretirement
     Benefits Other Than Pensions, has no effect on the
     Company's financial position or results of
     operation.
     
9.   Dividend Paid

     During November 1995, the Board of Directors
     declared a $.13 per share dividend on Common Stock
     payable to stockholders of record on December 8,
     1995.   The dividend was paid on January 17, 1996.
     
 10. Subsequent Events

     S-K-I Ltd. announced that is has received, through
     its investment financial advisor Schroder Wertheim,
     an offer by LBO Enterprises of Newry, Maine, to
     purchase all of the approximately 6,000,000 shares
     of outstanding stock of S-K-I Ltd. for $18.00 per
     share. The S-K-I Ltd. board of directors has
     approved a definitive merger agreement with LBO
     Enterprises.  A meeting of S-K-I Ltd. shareholders
     will be held in the near future to consider the offer 
     as recommended by the S-K-I Ltd. board.  The total value 
     of the offer for the equity approximates $107,000,000.  The
     transaction is subject to, among other things,
     shareholder approval and regulatory approvals.

11.  In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards
     Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting
     Standards No. 121 (FAS 121), "Accounting for the
     Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived
     Assets to be Disposed Of".  The standard identifies
     indicators to determine whether an impairment of
     longlived assets has been incurred and provides
     guidance in determining the amount of the
     impairment.  The Company will adopt SFAS No. 121 in
     1996.  The Company expects that there will not be a
     material impact to the Company's financial position
     or results of operations as a result of adopting
     this standard.
     
     In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards
     Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting
     Standards No. 123 (FAS 123), "Accounting for Stack
     Based Compensation".  The Company does not intend to
     adopt the new compensation expense provisions of FAS
     123 but will adopt the disclosure provisions in 1996.

                         PART I.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
        Condition and Results of Operations
     
     
     The following revenue and expense analysis, section
     I and II, compares results of the remaining
     divisions after the sale of Bear Mountain.  For this
     discussion, Bear Mountain results have been removed
     for this year and last in order not to distort the
     comparison between years.
     
     
I.   Revenue and expense changes for the second quarter
     of Fiscal 1996 compared to the second quarter of Fiscal
     1995.
     
     Revenues increased 18% because of an overall
     increase in operations with tickets, restaurants and
     bars, and retail representing the majority of the
     increase at all areas.
     
     Cost of operations increased 17% in support of
     increased revenues with a large percnetage due to
     lease expense related to the Bombardier lease
     contract.
     
     Other taxes increased 11% primarily due to
     increases in sales and meals and rooms tax from
     higher revenues.

     Interest decreased 45% primarily due to reduction of
     debt using cash from the sale of Bear Mountain and
     secondarily from better cashflow from operations.

     Depreciation decreased 13% primarily due to the
     Bombardier contract whereby grooming vehicles were
     sold back to Bombardier and then leased from them.

II.  Revenue and expense changes for the first six months
     of Fiscal 1996 compared to the first six months of
     Fiscal 1995.
     
     Revenues increased 18% for reasons noted in the
     quarter to quarter comparison with similar
     divisional results.
     
     Cost of operations increased 15% again for reasons
     noted in the quarter to quarter comparison with
     similar divisional results.
     
     Other taxes increased 12% as noted in quarter to
     quarter comparison with similar divisional results.
     
     Selling, general and administrative increased 10%
     due to a more aggressive "Peaks of Excitement"
     marketing program.
     
     Depreciation decreased 12% as noted previously
     primarily due to the lease contract with Bombardier.
     
     
     
III. Balance Sheet changes at the end of the second
     quarter of Fiscal 1996 compared to the end of the
     second quarter of Fiscal 1995.
     
     Accounts receivable increased approximately
     $1,001,000 due to very nearly $868,000 of the
     proceeds from the sale of Bear Mountain assets which
     remain in escrow at January 28, 1996.  Management
     expects this balance to be collected  in full of
     during the third quarter.
     
     Inventories decreased approximately $1,190,000
     primarily due to the sale of vehicle maintenance
     parts to Bombardier and Bear Mountain.
     
     Prepaids increased approximately $284,000 primarily
     due the "Peaks of Excitement" marketing program.
     
     Fixed assets decreased approximately $31,079,000
     primarily due to the sale of Bear Mountain and
     secondarily to the Bombardier lease contract,
     partially offset by fixed assets for completion of
     the Skyeship at Killington.
     
     Construction in progress decreased approximately
     $10,267,000 primarily due to the Skyeship at
     Killington and secondarily to a smaller overall
     capital program in 1996 versus 1995.
     

     Land and development  decreased $6,600,000
     primarily due to the sale of Bear Mountain and
     secondarily to a transfer from development to fixed
     assets at Killington.

     Long-term investments increased approximately
     2,174,000 due to reinvesting current cash and
     premiums accumulating within Ski Insurance Company.

     Short-term notes payable decreased approximately
     $1,886,000 primarily due to the payment of a note
     setup at the time of the purchase of Bear Mountain
     in 1988 and a reduction in the line of credit at
     Sugarloaf.

     Deposits decreased approximately $829,000 primarily
     due to decreases in lodging deposits and the sale of
     Bear Mountain.

     Long-term notes payable decreased approximately
     $25,876,000 primarily due to repayments using cash
     from the sale of Bear Mountain and to improved cash
     flows from operations.

     Deferred income taxes decreased approximately
     $2,597,000 principally due to the transfer of Bear
     Mountain's deferred income taxes to current income
     taxes as a result of the sale.

     Other long-term liabilities increased approximately
     $654,000 primarily due to on-going premium payments
     from the divisions to the wholly owned insurance
     captive partially offset by the payment of claims.

IV.  Balance Sheet changes at the end of the second
     quarter of Fiscal 1996 compared to the year ended
     July 31, 1995.

     Cash, Prepaid Expenses, Inventories, Construction in
     Progress, Accounts Payable, Income Taxes Payable,
     Accrued Wages, Deposits and Other Accrued Expenses
     usually reflect large increases or decreases due to
     the seasonal nature of the business.

     Accounts receivable increased approximately $700,000
     due primarily to very nearly $868,000 of the
     proceeds from the sale of Bear Mountain assets which
     remain in escrow at January 28, 1996.  Management
     expects this balance to be collected in full during
     the third quarter.

     Land and development decreased approximately
     $5,552,000 primarily due to the sale of Bear
     Mountain.

     Long-term investments increased $999,000 primarily
     due to reinvesting current cash and premiums
     accumulating within Ski Insurance Company.

     Deferred charges and other assets increased
     approximately $312,000 in large part because of
     receivables related to the sale of Bear Mountain.

     Short-term notes payable decreased approximately
     $2,260,000 primarily due to the payment of  a note
     due from the purchase of Bear Mountain and a paydown
     in the line of credit at Sugarloaf.

     Accrued lease payments-Vt decreased approximately
     $489,000 primarily due to payment in December on
     Fiscal 1995 leasehold liability.

     Long-term notes payable decreased approximately
     $17,672,000 primarily due to repayments using cash
     received from the sale of Bear Mountain and improved
     cash flows from operations.
     
V.   Liquidity
     Cash generated from operations during the first six
     months of Fiscal 1996 was $13,115,578 as compared to
     cash generated during the first six months of Fiscal
     1995 of $11,868,878.  Cash generated from investing
     activities was $13,071,538 during the first six
     months of Fiscal year 1996.  Cash used for investing
     activities during the first six months of Fiscal
     year 1995 was $29,853,853. Due to the seasonality of the
     Company's business and a significant increase to
     capital assets in the first six months of Fiscal
     1995, the Company utilized its bank facilities to
     meet its cash needs. During the first six months of
     Fiscal 1996, until the sale of Bear Mountain in late
     October 1996, the Company utilized its bank
     facilities to meet its cash needs.
