You¡¯re right .. the color on the trademarked image is the same as his bill and that should be yellow. I think we could get away with black, but I¡¯m going by what was approved by the artist.?

Here is the latest version of our logo.

Leo,

Locate the closed Skyline Peak airport on the sectional map, about 30 miles due north of AVL.? The Wolf Ridge ski area is probably a half mile north of the closed airstrip, in the middle of the Wolf Mountain vacation development.? Look close for that ski area or you'll miss it!??
