                                  INTRODUCTION

      This Rule 13e-3 Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3 (this "Schedule
13E-3") is being filed by Charles R. Abell, Jerome T. Broussard, Brian T.
Grattan, Dennis L. Green, Charles P. Grenier, Jerry J. James, Michael T. Jenson,
Darrel R. Martin, Michael J. Muldown, Richard D. Dasen, Susan A. Dasen and
Budget Finance (the "Filing Persons") pursuant to Section 13(e) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 13e-3 thereunder. Winter
Sports, Inc. ("Winter Sports" or the "Company") is simultaneously filing a
separate Rule 13e-3 Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3 in connection with a
proposal to its stockholders to approve and adopt a proposal for:

      (a)   a one-for-150 reverse stock split of the Company's Common Stock (the
            "Reverse Split"); and

      (b)   a cash payment per share of $17.50 for the currently outstanding
            Common Stock in lieu of the issuance of any resulting fractional
            shares of Common Stock to persons who would hold less than one whole
            share of Common Stock of record in any discrete account after the
            proposed Reverse Split.

The Reverse Split is upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in
the Company's Proxy Statement for the Company's Annual Meeting of Shareholders
scheduled to be held on May 6, 2004 (the "Annual Meeting"). The Reverse Split
requires an amendment to the Company's Articles of Incorporation, as amended.
The other purposes of the Annual Meeting are to (1) elect a board of nine
directors, (2) ratify the selection of independent accountants, and (3) transact
such other business as may properly come before the Annual Meeting.

      The following Cross-Reference Sheet is supplied pursuant to General
Instruction F to Schedule 13E-3 and shows the location in the Proxy Statement
filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 27,
2004 (including all annexes and exhibits thereto, the "Proxy Statement"), of the
information required to be included in response to the items of this Statement.
The information in the Proxy Statement is hereby expressly incorporated herein
by reference and the responses to each item are qualified in their entirety by
the provisions of the Proxy Statement.


                                       3


ITEM 1. SUMMARY TERM SHEET.

      Reg. M-A 1001

      The information set forth in the Proxy Statement under the caption
      "SUMMARY TERM SHEET" is hereby incorporated herein by reference.

      o Filing Persons. Each Filing Person holds at least 150 shares of common
      stock, and each such Filing Person will remain a shareholder of Winter
      Sports following the Reverse Split. As a result, each Filing Person will
      own a slightly increased percentage of the outstanding common stock. The
      Filing Persons do not anticipate any changes in Winter Sports' board of
      directors or management to result from the Reverse Split. The Filing
      Persons hold [452,734] shares or [45.8%] of Winter Sports' outstanding
      common stock.

      o Position of Filing Persons. Each Filing Person recommends a vote "FOR"
      the Reverse Split, and believes that the Reverse Split is fair as to
      substance and procedure with respect to all Winter Sports' shareholders,
      including unaffiliated shareholders. In reaching such a conclusion, each
      Filing Person, including directors in their capacity as Filing Persons and
      not as members of the board of directors, relied on the reasons
      articulated by the board of directors in the Company's proxy statement,
      other than the fairness opinion rendered by Willamette Management
      Associates, Inc., on which the Filing Persons in such capacity were not
      entitled to rely and did not rely.

      o Effect of Reverse Split on Filing Persons. Filing Persons of Winter
      Sports will participate in the Reverse Split to the same extent as
      non-filing persons. The Filing Persons all currently own sufficient shares
      of common stock (at least 150 each) so that they will all continue to be
      shareholders after the effectiveness of the Reverse Split. As with all
      other remaining shareholders of Winter Sports, the percentage ownership by
      the Filing Persons of the total outstanding shares after the Reverse Split
      may increase slightly. The Reverse Split will not have a material effect
      on the net book value per share or the earnings per share for the Filing
      Persons.

      o Federal Income Tax Consequences. The federal income tax consequences of
      the Reverse Split to Filing Persons will be the same as the federal income
      tax consequences to shareholders who are not Filing Persons, that is, the
      Filing Persons will recognize gain (or loss) in an amount equal to the
      positive (or negative) difference between the amount received as cash in
      lieu of fractional shares and the Filing Persons' basis in the fractional
      shares so redeemed.

      (a)   The information set forth in the Proxy Statement under the caption
            "BACKGROUND, PURPOSE, STRUCTURE AND EFFECT OF THE REVERSE SPLIT
            -Reasons for the Reverse Split" is hereby incorporated herein by
            reference. The Filing Persons have specifically adopted the purposes
            for the transaction articulated by the board of directors as their
            own.

   (b), (c) The information set forth in the Proxy Statement under the
            captions "BACKGROUND, PURPOSE, STRUCTURE AND EFFECT OF THE REVERSE
            SPLIT - Factors Considered by the Board of Directors" and "- Reasons
            for the Reverse Split" are hereby incorporated herein by reference.
            With respect to the substantive and procedural fairness of the
            transaction to the shareholders of Winter Sports, including
            unaffiliated shareholders, the Filing Persons have specifically
            adopted the analysis of the board of directors as their own.
            Accordingly, the Filing Persons have specifically adopted the
            board's reasons for the structure of the transaction, reasons for
            undertaking the transaction at this time, and analysis with respect
            to alternative transactions considered.


                                       7


            The Filing Persons did not, other than in their capacity as
            directors of the Company, consider the opinion of Willamette in
            reaching this conclusion.

      (d)   The information set forth in the Proxy Statement under the captions
            "BACKGROUND, PURPOSE, STRUCTURE AND EFFECT OF THE REVERSE SPLIT -
            Effect on Shareholders," "- Effect of the Reverse Split on Winter
            Sports," "SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND
            MANAGEMENT," and "MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES" are
            hereby incorporated herein by reference. The Filing Persons will
            participate in the Reverse Split to the same extent as other
            shareholders. The Filing Persons all currently own sufficient shares
            of common stock (at least 150 each) so that they will all continue
            to be shareholders after the effectiveness of the Reverse Split. As
            with all other remaining shareholders of Winter Sports, the
            percentage ownership by the Filing Persons of the total outstanding
            shares after the Reverse Split will increase slightly. The amounts
            set forth in the table entitled "Security Ownership of Certain
            Beneficial Owners and Management" in the Proxy Statement illustrate
            the effect on the Filing Persons, and that disclosure is
            incorporated herein by reference. The Reverse Split will not have a
            material effect on the net book value per share and earnings per
            share of the Filing Persons. The net book value per share as of May
            31, 2003 (including accreted dividends) was $10.45 per share; if the
            Reverse Split had occurred as of that date, the net book value
            (including accreted dividends) would have been $1,484.77 per share,
            an increase of 14,108.3%. Net loss per share as of May 31, 2003, was
            ($0.57) per share; if the Reverse Split had been effected as of the
            same date, loss per share would have been ($125.43) per share, an
            increase of 21,905.2%. The effect of the Reverse Split Transaction
            on the interest of each Filing Person in the net book value and
            earnings per share of Winter Sports would be as follows:

            "RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS" and "SUMMARY TERM SHEET"
            are hereby incorporated herein by reference. With respect to the
            substantive and procedural fairness of the transaction to the
            shareholders of Winter Sports, including unaffiliated shareholders,
            the Filing Persons have specifically adopted the analysis of the
            board of directors as their own, including the board's conclusions,
            provided, however, that the Filing Persons in their capacity as such
            did not consider or rely, and were not entitled to consider or rely,
            on the opinion of Willamette. Each Filing Person believes that the
            Reverse Split is fair as to substance and procedure with respect to
            all Winter Sports' shareholders, including unaffiliated shareholders
            who will retain their investment in the Company and unaffiliated
            shareholders who will not.

            herein by reference. In considering whether to recommend to the
            shareholders the approval of the Reverse Split and the related
            transactions, the Filing Persons have adopted the board's reasoning
            with respect to the factors discussed in the Proxy Statement, with
            the exception of the fairness opinion from Willamette on which the
            Filing Persons are not entitled to rely.

            interest of, Winter Sports and our shareholders, including those
            unaffiliated shareholders who will and those who will not retain an
            interest in Winter Sports. Accordingly, each of the Filing Persons
