TERRACE — The
Northwest’s first private-
ly owned ski area, Shame
Mountain Ski Corpora-
tion, is expected to open
its slopes within 18
months, said corpora-
tion spokesman, Dennis
Lissimore.

" by Daniele Berquist

The $1.3 million pro-
ject will feature an in-
spiring mix of terrain,
suitable for all levels of
skier ability. For the
beginner, some broad
lazy slopes, for the
novice or intermediate,
there is progressively
more challenging terrain,
for the expert, some
super downhill pitches.

Lissimore said there is
adequate base land for
parking lots, mainte-

Northwest
gains
track star
status

Smithers is well known
throughout B.C. for its
top-ranked boys’ high
school wrestling team.
Now it seems the
Northwest B.C. com-
munity is gaining notice
for its prowess in track
and field.

At the B.C. Secondary
Schools’ track and field
championships on the
June 1 weekend at Bur-
naby’s Swangard
Stadium, Smithers ran
up an aggregate of 48
points which was good
enough for seventh place
overall in final school
standings. Sentinel won
the title with 100 points,
only half a point up on
Burnaby Central.

Leading the Smithers’
achievement was Mi-
chelle Parish who posted
victories in the girls’ 100
and 200 meter runs. Her
time for the 100 was
12.45 seconds, In the 200
it was 25.38 seconds. The
200 victory was almost
half a second faster than
the runnerup.

The male athletes also
had a couple of fine per-
formances, Rick
Driedger took second in
his 100 meter event in
11.17 seconds, Elliot
Bergen took third place
in the shotput with a toss
of 15.08 meters,

nance buildings, and a
day lodge, as well as an
ample supply of fresh
water with all-weather
road access,

Shames Mountain has _

an exciting long term
potential beyond its in-
itial first stage of
development. ‘‘The
future has not been
forgotten,’’ said
Lissimore. ‘‘As skier de-
mand increases, the
plans are already in place
for new lifts and new
runs to be added.”’

The construction has
been divided into four

phases:
Phase one — Initial
development, installa-

tion of a chairlift, T-bar
lift, and hand tow. In-
itial skier capacity of
1000 per day could be ac-:
commodated.

Vertical drop is 1400
feet (420 metres).

The second stage of
development will include
installing a second chair
lift with additional skier
capacity of 800 per day
totalling 1800 skiers a
day. The vertical drop
will be 2100 feet (630
metres).

The third stage of
development will feature
installation of a third
chairlift and an addi-
tional skier capacity of
800 per day, bringing the
total up to 2600 per day.
There will be a vertical
drop of 3200 feet. Back

bowl development will
begin.

Phase four — a fourth
chairlift will be installed
with additional capacity
of 600 per day, giving a
total of 3200 per day. A
possible onsite construc-
tion of cabins and con-
dominiums might take
place at this time, said
Lissimore.

‘‘Weather studies
show records for the past
six years indicate an
average snowpack of six
to eight feet (180-240 cm)
in the designated base
area. Since the slope
elevation is the critical
factor for reliable
snowpack, Shames
Mountain is ideally
situated. The base area,
said Lissimore, is a full
2400 feet above sea level.

He noted that the.

relatively high elevation
also promises to deliver
early November start
dates for a six-month
skiing season. .

The site is favored by
moderate temperatures
going by winter stan-
dards and light winds.
As a bonus, Lissimore
noted, the area’s south-
facing bowl enjoys day
long sunshine.

Situated in the Shames
River Valley, 13 miles
west of Terrace, and
with over 60,000 people
living within 80 miles of
the site, the location is
ideal, noted Lissimore.
‘It promises to be some
of the best skiing in
British Columbia.’’ Con-
venient day trips will be
possible from all three of
the Northwest’s major
population centers.

Terrace is but a mere
30 minute drive, while
Prince Rupert and
Kitimat, from downtown
to the base, is about 90
minutes.

“We're expecting a
sizable number of skiers
from Ketchikan, Ste-
wart, Hazelton and
Smithers. The economic
impact of Shames Moun-
tain development will be
twofold, said Lissimore.
First of all, the project
will create many new
jobs, in the short term,
employment in the con-
struction phase and per-

ow scenario

manent positions in the
operational phase.

The economic spin-off
generated by the project,
based on realistic projec-
tions of 34,000 skier

visitors, Shames Moun-:

tain will account for
$600,000 in gross

revenue. The total

economic project, said
Lissimore, is expected to
reach $2.2 million. He
‘noted that another in-
teresting statistic using
the same widely accepted
formula states that every
job created on the moun-
tain will in turn create
two new jobs within the
community.
