Terrace Review — Wednesday, September 26, 1990 B9 coe

New Shames manager used >
_ to planning and promotion —

Poley area were skiers, so a lot of
effort was put into marketing and
providing programs for public
school students, the disabled, and
new skiers. They also built a
13,000 square foot day lodge for
the ski areca in just over two
months, So Siemens says he’s "not
jumping around about this one."
He thinks Kitsumkalum Lodge will
work out well at Shames. "We'll

- live with the old floor plan for this

year and then..."
When Siemens finished with that
project, he wanted to head home to

Vernon. For the past year, he has .

. worked as manager at the Ed- .

monton Ski Club, looking after the
overall operation of the ski facility.
Again, he was implementing a
Master Plan to upgrade the ski
area and worked developing con-
cepts and designs. He believes that .
experience will be invaluable for
Shames in its first year of opera-
tion.

Siemens say his short-term goal is
"to get every person in Terrace
onto Shames Mountain to give

sport so much that he wanted to &

He also felt, that with his exten- : :

westem Canada. He comes from skiing a try". .
