ACCOUNTANT'S REVIEW REPORT
To the Board of Directors of
Mt. Ashland Association
Ashland, Oregon 97520
I have reviewed the accompanying statements of financial position of Mt. Ashland Association, (a
not-for-profit corporation), as of June 30, 2010, and 2009, and the related statements of activities
and cash flows for the year then ended, in accordance with Statements on Standards for
Accounting and Review Services issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.
All infonnation included in these financial statements is the representation of the management of
Mt. Ashland Association.
A review consists principally of inquiries of Association personnel and analytical procedures applied
to financial data. It is substantially less in scope than an audit in accordance with generally
accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the
financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, I do not express such an opinion.
Based on my review, I am not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the
accompanying financial statements in order for them to be in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.
My review was made for the purpose of expressing limited assurance that there are no material
modifications that should be made to the financial statements in order for them to be in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles. The infonnation included in the accompanying
Schedule of Functional Expenses is presented only for supplementary analysis purposes. Such
information has not been subjected to inquiry and analytical procedures applied in the review of the
basic financial statements, but was compiled from infonnation that is the representation of .
management, without audit or review. Accordingly, I do not express an opinion or any other form of
assurance on the supplementary infonnation.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of the Board of Directors, management,
and others within the Association, and is not intended to be, and should not be, used by anyone
other than these specified parties.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
PURPOSE OF THE ORGANIZATION
Mt. Ashland Association (the Association) is a not-for-profit organization, established under the laws
of the State of Oregon to provide educational and recreational opportunities to the members of the
general public in Jackson County, Oregon. The Association offers comprehensive winter recreation
services and educational programs to residents of Southern Oregon and Northern California through
the operation of the Mt. Ashland Ski Area. Mt. Ashland prides itself on being affordable to families
and youth and is host to an average of over 80,000 skier visits per season. Over 1,000 youths
participate in Mt. Ashland's after-school programs.
The Association provides and continues to develop new ways to contribute to our youth and many
educational programs and related benefits to the communities of Southern Oregon and Northern
California. The Association expects to continue the following programs and expand on the
educational awareness programs of after school youth ski and snowboard, ski/snowboard school,
kids club, mountain geology/snow science and environmental/youth summer service. The
approximate costs of providing these programs were $254,910 and $307,806 for the years ended
June 30, 2010, and 2009, respectively.
BASIS OF ACCOUNTING AND PRESENTATION
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with FASB Accounting
Standards Codification (ASC) 958-205 and its subsections. ASC 958-205 establishes standards for
external financial reporting for not-for-profit organizations, and requires the Association to report
information regarding its financial position and activities into three classes of net assets according to
externally (donor) imposed restrictions. In addition, it requires that unconditional promises to give
(pledges) be recorded as receivables and revenues, and requires the organization to distinguish
between contributions for each net asset category in accordance with donor imposed restrictions.
Descriptions of the three net asset categories, as presented on the Statement of Activities, are as
follows:
1) Unrestricted net assets have no donor imposed restrictions.
2) Temporarily restricted net assets have donor-imposed restrictions that will expire
in the future.
3) Permanently restricted net assets have donor-imposed restrictions, which do not
expire.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Unrestricted net assets consist of the general operating fund of the Association and are available for
use at the discretion of the Board of Directors.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those
estimates.
INCOME TAXES
The Association is a Not-For-Profit Organization that is exempt from federal income taxes under
Section 501 (c)(3) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. The Association has also been classified as
an entity that is not a private foundation within the meaning of Section 509(a), and qualifies for
deductible contributions as provided in Section 170 (b)(1 )(A)(iii). There was no unrelated business
income for the years ended June 30, 2010, and 2009.
BUILDINGS AND EQUIPMENT
The Association capitalizes all expenditures for buildings and equipment if they are considered to
benefit future periods. Purchased buildings and equipment are carried at cost and are considered to
be owned by the Association. Donated buildings and equipment are carried at the approximate fair
value at the date of donation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives of the assets.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Association considers all unrestricted highly liquid
investments, with an initial maturity of three months or less, to be cash equivalents. The carrying
value of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value.
INVESTMENTS
Investments consist primarily of a money market account. The Association accounts for
investments in accordance with FASB ASC 958-320 and subsections. This standard
requires that investments in be measured at fair value in the statement of financial position.
Fair value for the Association's investments is based on quoted market prices.
Investments are exposed to various risks such as significant world events, interest rate, credit, and
overall market volatility risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investments securities,
it is reasonably possible that changes in the fair value of investments will occur in the near term and
that such changes could materially affect the amounts reported in the statement of financial
position.

Accounts Receivables are stated at the amount management expect to collect from outstanding
balances at year end. Receivables are written off when they are determined to be uncollectible.

Inventory consists of food, beverages and ski area related retail merchandise. Inventory is valued at I
cost. Cost is determined using a first-in, first-out method of inventory valuation.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
The Association has invested funds with Umpqua Investments, Inc. The funds are managed by
Steven Nelson, the assigned financial advisor by Umpqua Investments, Inc. The portfolio assets
consist of a bank deposit sweep account. The monies are held in an interest-bearing deposit
account at one or more banks. The investment income includes interest income resulting from the
investment fund. The cost and the income generated as a result of the investment are reported in
the Statement of Activities.

INVENTORY
ADVERTISING
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense for the years ended June 30, 2010, I
and 2009 totaled $42,174 and $42,461, respectively.
REVENUE
All contributions are considered to be available for unrestricted use unless specifically restricted by
the donor. Amounts received that are designated for future periods or restricted by the donor for
specific purposes are reported as temporarily restricted or permanently restricted support that
increases those net asset classes. When a temporary restriction expires, temporarily restricted net
assets are reclassified to unrestricted net assets and reported in the statement of activities as net
assets released from restrictions.
I
The Association's revenue is derived primarily from ski operations including season pass sales, lift
ticket sales, lodge sales, bar sales, cafe sales, equipment rentals and ski school income. Sales I
revenue is recognized when purchases are made, with the exception of season pass sales. Season
passes sold during the "Spring Pass" promotion cover the entire following ski season. Management
defers this revenue, relating to the following season, into the following fiscal year or until earned. I

OPERATING lEASES
The Association leases space for its business office, which expires on September 1, 2010, with
options to renew for two one-year extensions, for $1,500 per month. For the year ended June 30,
2010, the lease commitment is $18,000 for the Association's business office. The Association also
leases certain ski area assets that were purchased from donated funds to the City of Ashland. This
lease term expires on June 30,2017. Future minimum lease payments as of June 30,2010, are $1
per year through 2017, for a total lease commitment of $7. A mobile unit is leased by the Association
for the amount of $171.25 per month. This lease expires on April 3, 2011. For the year ended June
30, 2010, the lease commitment is $2,055 for the Associations mobile unit.
The City of Ashland received donations from the general public to purchase certain ski area assets
on Mt. Ashland which are located on land leased from the U.S. Department of Agriculture/U.S. Forest
Service. These ski area assets are leased by the City to the Association for $1 per year. Upon the
lease expiration date, June 30, 2017, the Association has the option to extend the lease term for an
additional 25 years ending June 30, 2042. This lease requires the Association to maintain the leased
ski area assets at an agreed "Minimum Liquidation Value," which was stated at $200,000 in 1992.
The "Minimum Liquidation Value" is subject to an escalation provision tied to the Consumer Price
Index (CPI). If the Association fails to maintain the leased ski area assets at the "Minimum
Liquidation Value" the Association is required to pay the deficiency into a trust fund maintained by the
City of Ashland. As of June 30, 2010, no funds have been required to be transferred into this trust
fund.
-8-
The Association assumed the underlying obligation of the City of Ashland's special use permit with
the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, for the use of the ski area land for the
construction, operation and maintenance of a winter sports area. This use permit provides for
termination upon breach of any permit condition, or termination at the discretion of the Regional
Forester of the Chief of the U.S. Forest Service. The permit expires July 4, 2017, with an annual fee
based upon a weighted formula applied to various revenue classifications. The adjusted fees for the
years ended June 30,2010, and 2009 were $33,569 and $25,699, respectively.
I
I
In 1994, the Association recorded the lease as a contribution, stated at the ski area assets fair value, I
for the 25-year term of the lease. This fair value was estimated at $2,833,300 and capitalized. The
lease is amortized as Facility Lease Expense over the assets economic life to reflect the relative I
value of the lease. Amortization expense for the years ended June 30, 2010, and 2009 were
$75,555 and $75,555 respectively. The following summarizes the remaining asset value related to
the contributed facility lease: I

TEMPORARILY RESTRICTED NET ASSETS
As described in Note 1, the Association reports financial information regarding its financial position
and activities into three classes of net assets according to externally (donor) imposed restrictions.
These classes consist of unrestricted net assets, temporarily restricted net assets and permanently
restricted net assets. Temporarily restricted net assets have donor-imposed restrictions that will
expire in the future. Upon expiration of the donor-imposed restrictions, funds are released from
restriction and expensed categorically to align with their functional category. The activity of these
funds is represented on the Statement of Activities. Temporarily restricted net assets consisted of
the following at June 30, 2010, and 2009:

SUMMARY OF FAIR VALUE
The Council has adopted SFAS 157 - now referred to as ASC 820-10 which establishes a framework
for measuring fair value, and requires additional disclosure about the use of fair value measurements
in an effort to make the measurement of fair value more consistent and comparable.
SFAS 157 defines fair value as the amount that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid
for the transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants, i.e. an exit price.
To estimate an exit price, a three-tier hierarchy is used to prioritize the inputs:
Level 1 : Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
level 2: Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest
rates, prepayment spreads, credit risk, etc.).
level 3: Significant unobservable inputs (including the Council's own assumptions in determining the
fair value of investments).
All of the Council's investments is based upon quoted market prices and was considered level 1 as
of December 31,2010.

MT. ASHLAND ASSOCIATION
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
For the Years Ended June 30, 2010 and 2009
PURCHASE COMMITMENTS
Mt. Ashland Association entered into a purchase commitment of Green Tags with the Bonneville
Environmental Foundation (BEF) on August 10, 2009. This commitment is for the period of
September 1, 2009, through August 31,2012. Each Green Tag represents the environmental
attributes associated with the generation of one megawatt-hour of electricity from electrical
generating facilities that rely exclusively on wind, solar, geothermal, hydro, and biomass renewable
energy sources. Mt. Ashland Association is committed to purchase 1,380 Green Tags at eight
dollars each per year over the lease term. For the year ended June 30, 2010, the Association
purchased $4,320 in Green Tags.
CONTINGENCIES
Mt. Ashland Association is currently involved in one legal dispute centered on the proposed Area
Improvement Project. This is as an intervening party with the U.S. Department of Agriculture
(USFS) over the legality of their Record of Decision issued in September of 2004 on the project.
The case was heard by and ruled on by the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in September of
2007. They identified three points that they felt needed additional review and remanded the case
on those three entities back to the USFS. The USFS issued a Draft Supplemental Environmental
Impact Statement on the three issues in March of 2010. The Final Supplemental Environmental
Impact Statement should be forthcoming by October 2010. If all of this is approved, which we feel it
strongly will be, construction on the Improvement Project could begin by early April, 2011.
Mt. Ashland Association believes there is a very remote chance of loss in the above dispute. Total
expenditures to date that might be affected by these cases are estimated at $1,450,000. These
funds have already been expended by Mt. Ashland Association for research, studies, planning and
legal costs associated with the Improvement Project.
Mt. Ashland Association is not named, or has not been put on notice of any other legal disputes,
claims or actions.
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Mt. Ashland has evaluated subsequent events through August 30,2010. August 30,2010, is the
date Management last reviewed the financial statements. The report was available to be issued
one day after Management's final review on August 31,2010.
