WEST POINT N.Y.--If everything goes right, in three days, Bear Mountain Inn--scenically situated on the Hudson River--will be able to post a sigh stating. "The 1982 Eastern Scaboard swimming champions slept here...
...jammed. Mobs of hot-doggers and snow bunnies have turned Stowe and Vail into adrenalized assembly lines of sport. At the Home Ranch the pace slows.
