SQUAW VALLEY, Calif. -- The first company to rent out this entire ski
resort, arguably Lake Tahoe's most expensive and exclusive, didn't even
exist a decade ago. But such is the fame of its name and the magic of
its reported wealth that workers here immediately began dreaming of
getting their own tiny shares.
Cashiers at the Mountain Nectar smoothie and coffee bar shined the tip
jars. The real estate agents doubled their normal staffs and
photocopied dozens of extra brochures of luxury homes and condos for
sale. The bar owners stocked up on fancy wines.
