Shooting for mid-December .

A message from

Scott Siemens,

general manager,

Shames Mountain ski area

"We're still shooting for a mid-
December opening. I’m hyped up
on the great skiing people are
going to get. People have been
waiting a long time to ski at
Shames, and now they’re going to
get the best!", extoles Scott
Siemens, general manager, on the
virtues of Shames Mountain ski
atea.

Scott says the snow is incredible,
"nice, light snow, not the ‘west
coast cement’". There is already a
12. foot base on the top runs, the
trails are wide and long and the
terrain is rolling for the beginner
and steep and mogul-y for the
advanced skier,

The two new Prinoth grooming
machines which arrived two weeks
ago, are "top notch,” says Scott.
"The runs will be groomed to a
nice white carpet.” Ski reports will
happen daily on CJFW and all the
AM stations; at 8 a.m., 12 noon
and 4 p.m. CBC reports will also
be broadcast. And as special events
are planned, they will be well
advertised both in the newspapers
and on radio.

Over the Christmas holidays,
Scott says- plans are underway to
offer leamn-to-ski packages for both
kids and adults with extra recre-
ational time.

“Our staff at Shames is dedicated
to providing safe, enjoyable ski
experiences for new skiers, old
skiers and "Pll never try that
again’ skiers. Come out and give it

a try."
