Stowe, the Laurentians, Vail,
Whistler, Sun Valley. These
names are all familiar to the
dedicated skier. Mostly

through advertising, though and —

they may not be as good as

other areas less well known, but

they have come to be
synonomous with skiing.

Will Terrace ever be among

these names. One can't say for
sure. Perhaps one of the most
romantic, though net so well
known ski areas in the world is
Howelson Hill in Steamboat
Springs, Colorado,
Don’t confuse Howelson Hill
with the new super area simply
called Steamboat. Though they
are both in the same town, the
difference between them is
staggering.

Howelson Hill started out
about thirty years ago when a
man and his wife hooked up a
rope to an old tractor engine
and used it to pull skiers up the
hill. At the same time they built
a 90 meter jump that became
one of the hest in North
America; so good that for years
most North American jumping
records were made on
Howelson Hill.

Skiers will recognize the
name of Buddy Werner, famed
U.S. Olympian who died a
young death in Europe when he
tried to outrun an avalanche.
Buddy Werner grew up on
Howelson Hill and was indeed a
big part of it's success,

it’s a small hill; not the kind
tourists fram the world will
come to ski every year, In
many ways that makes it far
more attractive than it’s
bohemoth neighbor to the west,

Steamboat,

Mostly the people who live in
Steamboat Springs ski
Howelson. They can’t afford
the prices nor the publicity of
skiing Hollywood.

This is the kind of area [
would like to see Terrace
develop. There is no need to
advertise any further than
Prince Rupert and Kitimat,
Make it a neighborly ski area:
one that would be built for the
sheer fun of skiing; not a parade
ground for the world’s beautiful
people to lay in front of a ‘fire
apres ski because they were
ashamed to be seen in a wild,
and undisinguished, snowplow

“all day,

It begins .with a rope tow as!
we now have in Terrace, The’
next step is for someone to
realize the money value of ski
rentals and to go into business,
This in turn wil] go back to the
area and then just like
Howelson Hill thirty years ago,
the bail will be rolling and
before too long we can have
good good skiing right in our
back door.

Being raised in “Ski Country”
as the posters say, I know ski-
snow when I see it. Since I've
come to Terrace, every letter
home tells of the incredibly
good powder that falls in this
area. This is snow that ski
bums would sell their soul to
find in Colorado,

Terrace has the snow and the
beginning. Now all we need is
the time to grow into our own
little “people type’ Howelson
Hil.

Davies

Lakelse

There was no doubt in either
game Thursday night in the
Caledonia Men’s League
basketball as Cedarland
womped the Caledonia “B’
team 98-65 in the first game and
Larry Davies bombarded
Lakelse Hotel in the second.

The Caledonia “B” team
played poorly. They repeatedly
threw the ball away and gave
the game to Cedarland rather
than making them earn it.

It happened on both ends of
the court. When they weren’t
making errant passes they were
bobbling rebounds and giving
Cedarland easy points. Walt
Elkew and Fred Philpot
provided the scoring punch for
Cedarland hitting 38 and 38
points.

Pat McDonald, Rob Tooms
and Joe McGowan shared the
scoring honors for the “B”’ team
with 10 each,

The second game was close
for about four seconds until
Larry Davies hit the first of his
4l points as Dakins blew
Lakelse Hotel off the court by
the score of 98-41. Davies
equalled the entire output of the
Lakelse team,

It wasn’t until the second half
that league leading scorer John
Walbergs began to get hot. He
threw in 18 to wind up with 28.
Dave Wadley added 15 and
Steve Reynolds 11 to camplete
Dakins high scorers.

Rick Dakin led Lakelse with
14 points; Ken Christenson
added 11.

Men’s League action will stop
how until after the holiday
break Dakins holds a
commanding 1% game lead
over Miller’s Men's Clothing for
first place,
