Winter sports resort
planned for Kamloops

KAMLOOPS—Plans for the
establishment of what may be-
come Canada’s foremost winter
sports resort 24 miles northeast
of Kamloops were announced
here by an official of the Cana-
dian Amateur Ski Association.

Sam Warmington of Kim-
berly announced the plans at a
meeting of the Kiwanis Club.
yesterday.

He said location of the resort
will be at Mount Todd, a 7,000-
foot alpine peak located north
ot the Thompson River between
Kamloops and Chase.

Promotion of the project is
reported underway by a group
of Kamloops businessmen.

Mr. Warmington, speaking on
behalf of the group, described
Mount Todd as exceptional
for ski conditions

_ “ UNCOMPARABLE " |

“There is no place to com-
pare with it. Mount Todd would
be five times more’ suitable than
the present facilities at Kim-
berly,”” he said.

Plans originated due to lack
of adequate snow conditions in
Kamloops where skiing was be-
coming increasingly popular as
it was across the rest of the
continent, Mr. Warmington went
on.

Surveyors went into Mount
Todd in February and a group
of potential investors began
visiting the area this month.

Mount Todd could provide ski

facilities for more than 5,000
enthusasts. There would be
scope for a nine-mile cross-

country race as\well as an Olym-
pic calibre downhill race.
But for beginners, Mr. Warm-

ington said, the mountain
would provide ‘ideal condi-
tions.” Snow conditions would
last from November through

April,

“We hope and expect to have
a ski lift operating by the fall,”
the spokesman said. But he ad-
ded accessability was a serious
problem.

A logging road now enables
vehicles to travel within five
miles of the proposed resort
site. To commence operation
a new road would have to be
pushed through the remainder
of the way.

Mr. Warmington said that
establishment of the resort
would mean an influx of tour-
ists into the area during the
winter months

“The Mount Todd resort
would cater solely to skiers—
there won't be a place like it in
the west of Canada,” he said.

While refusing to stipulate
an exact sum of money required
to establish the resort, Mr. War-
mington indicated initial inves!
ment would be in the region of
$100,000.

But he stressed this would be
initial investment only.

“The main concern of our
group is to make good alpine
skiing available for local people.
Development for the great tour-
ist potential would follow on
after local needs have been sat-
isfied,” he said.
