Toft Ski Area
Draws Throng
On Weekend
By BUD BODINE
City Editor, News-Review
While shirtsleeve temperatures
warmed Roseburg last Saturday
and Sunday, over 260 persons were
enjoying one of America's fastest
growing sports, skiing, only 42
milts away.
The place: Taft Mountain Ski
area.
Sheltered on a north slope of the
mountain, snow ranging up to three
or more feet in depth provided ade
quate cover and a good fast course
for skiers gliding down the 600 foot
course along side the operating ski
low.
Taft Mountain, because of its
location in a "snow belt" area,
still' has snow although approaches
to me area are mostly open. With
snow cover well below normal in
the Cascades this winter, the Taft
Mountain pack still measured five
feet and should assure good ski
ing for several weeks yet this
spring. In normal years, 10 to 12
feet of snow are not uncommon on
the mountain and allow skiing into
April or even later.
For several years after the Taft
Mountain area was opened to ski
ing about 1952, its facilities were
primitive and the area was diffi
cult to reach from a road stand
point. Hard work by devoted ski
ers, principally the Edelweis Ski

LATE AFTERNOON SKIERS glide down the snowy face of Tott Mountain os under deep

affords a respectable challenge to skiers.

however, Powell staggered him
