Cross country ski trail signs. Downhill chairlift seats. Sofas. Posters from the 2004 and 2008 first-in-the-nation presidential primary and general elections. Wicker chairs. File cabinets. Lamps. Fans. Upright vacuum cleaners. Electronic audio and visual components from the ballroom. Towels, sheets and tablecloths in groups of 25. Dishes stamped with the hotel logo in groups of 10. Even an entire biomass plant.
