With one year under our
‘elt, Kitsumkalum 15
looking forward to a

- mutually rewarding season
between the skier and itself, .

We have some new features
this year but in essence
we're still new all around.
Last season construction
activity carried on into mid-

February. This season,.

beginning on opening day,
we will be able to offer full
skier services. Our. day
lodge is second to none in the
entire province and the area
is the largest in the Pacific
northwest in terms of lift
capacity, length of runs and
serviced vertical rise.

An intensive grooming
program has given the
entire mountain a face-lift

roviding increased

ginner runs and much
wider intermediate and
expert runs. Increased
lighting and grooming on
the Bunny Hill will provide
more skiable terrain for the

: night skiing enthusiast, not

to mention the full lodge
facilities that will be
available in the evenings

- this year. .

umkalaum Mountain

Again this season, a
number of hill events are
planned Including weekly
Molstar races, a sanctioned
race and a club race. Social
events include the Labatts’
free style clinic and in
general a lot of good times
will highlight a great ski
season at our area.

If you’re new to the sport,
our thousand foot rope tow
and extremely well

comed Bunny Hill com-

ined with the assistance of
a smiling ski instructor, wi
make learning to ski a most
exciting experience on
Kitsumkalum Mountain.
The inventory of rental skis
has been increased to over
ninety sets this season and
complete ski service will be .
available right on the’
mountain.
_ Almosta third of our lives
are spent in winter con-
ditions soit only makes good
sense that if you aren't
already participating in
winter ski fun, join us this
season at Kitsumkalum
Mountain. ;

Yours in Skiing — Jos
Konst, General Manager,
Kitsumkalum Mountain.

The aims of
the Ski Club

This spring the Kit-
sumkalum Ski Hill
Development Society was
re-organized as a Ski Club.
The intent of this group is to
assume all the normal
responsibilities of an area
ski club. .

The prime purpose of the
club is of course the
promotion of skiing in the
Terrace area and the
Pacific northwest. The club
also will serve as a liaison
between area management
and to assist that body in

, any way possible. The club

also be available to all
skiers of the region.

An important function of
the ski club is to develop and
support racing programs,
especially insofar as the
younger skier is concerned.
In this regard the club has
and will working on a
Junior Race Program for
young people aged 14 and

over, _

For the ounger
generation the club_ has
initiated a Nancy Green
Program which is aimed at
skiers from the tender age
of one anda half years old to
13 when the skier should be
moving into junior ranks.

The club also is active in
the organization of ski
parties which are a main

source of funds for the clup.

‘Two most succesful parties
have already taken place
and many more are on the
books for the future.

The organization of ski
races is of course a major
concern of the club and it is
hoped that the first officially
sanctioned meet by the B.C.
Ski Association will take
place towards the end of
January. It is hoped that a
large representation from
all the northern ski towns
will take part.

The Kinsmen will again be
sponsoring ski competitions
as part of their. Heritage
Day activities on February
20. Kinsman Gordon Lee is
in charge of ‘these
arrangements.

Looking into the future,
the club foresees organizing
ski tours, ski swaps like the
one held at the Oddfellows
Hall last November 13 and
the presentation of ski films
such as the screening held at
the Oddfellows Halli on
November 12.

Persons interested in
skiing activities can obtain
‘additional.~information by.
contacting any member of
the executive or Ski Hill
Manager, Jos Konst, at
Kitsumkalum, telephone
number 639-1616.
