              CERTIFICATION OF CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER PURSUANT TO
                  SECTION 302 OF THE SARBANES-OXLEY ACT OF 2002

I, Eric Hipple, certify that:

       1.     I have reviewed this quarterly report on Form 10-Q of Sports
              Resorts International, Inc.;

       2.     Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue
              statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
              necessary to make the statements made, in light of the
              circumstances under which such statements were made, not
              misleading with respect to the period covered by this report;

       3.     Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other
              financial information included in this report, fairly present in
              all material respects the financial condition, results of
              operations and cash flows of the registrant as of, and for, the
              periods presented in this report;

       4.     The registrant's other certifying officer(s) and I are responsible
              for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and
              procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and
              15d-15(e)) and internal control over financial reporting (as
              defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) for the
              registrant and have:

                     (a) Designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or
                     caused such disclosure controls and procedures to be
                     designed under our supervision, to ensure that material
                     information relating to the registrant, including its
                     consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us by others
                     within those entities, particularly during the period in
                     which this report is being prepared;

                     (b) Designed such internal control over financial
                     reporting, or caused such internal control over financial
                     reporting to be designed under our supervision, to provide
                     reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial
                     reporting and the preparation of financial statements for
                     external purposes in accordance with generally accepted
                     accounting principles;

                     (c) Evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant's
                     disclosure controls and procedures and presented in this
                     report our conclusions about the effectiveness of the
                     disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of the
                     period covered by this report based on such evaluation; and

                     (d) Disclosed in this report any change in the registrant's
                     internal control over financial reporting that occurred
                     during the registrant's most recent fiscal quarter (the
                     registrant's fourth fiscal quarter in the case of an annual
                     report) that has materially affected, or is reasonably
                     likely to materially affect, the registrant's internal
                     control over financial reporting; and

       5.     The registrant's other certifying officer(s) and I have disclosed,
              based on our most recent evaluation of internal control over
              financial reporting, to the registrant's auditors and the audit
              committee of the registrant's board of directors (or persons
              performing the equivalent functions):

                     (a) All significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in
                     the design or operation of internal control over financial
                     reporting which are reasonably likely to adversely affect
                     the registrant's ability to record, process, summarize and
                     report financial information; and

                     (b) Any fraud, whether or not material, that involves
                     management or other employees who have a significant role
                     in the registrant's internal control over financial
                     reporting.
