SHOWN HARD at work on the new warming hut of Baldf Butt
Ski club is Gary TullU. club member. The club has Its skiing

said Monday night that there was 30 inches ot powder snow in
the new area at that time. Kerry Peterson. 11 -year-old son of Don

Unquestionably the little band
of local skiers who have been
chopping and sawing their way
through pole thickets, clearing
a new tiki area, are most dedi
cated ueonle. Lack of snow at
the Park during the last two
winters has held back particl
patlon in the sport. Last March
the ski club voted to secure a
Forest Service use permit and
move to a higher elevation and
more dependable snow conclit
ions. Since then, liaidy Butte
club members have cleared two
acres, burned the brush, graded
the slope, and at this time have
the area almost ready to ski.
Garry Tullis Arnold Melby, Art
Vance and others rushed a pre
fab 16x24 warming hut to com
pletion. Don and Gerald Peter
son furnished' a tractor and dozer
without which we would have
been severely handicapped.
Other club members donated
material for the building and
helped burn the brush piles
which were raked up bv the trac
tor. Steve Peck and Tim Tullis
bossed this job of burning and
now a well-groomed slope awaits
the earlv skier. The Nelson
brothers, Norm and Fred, put in
several days with their chain
saws early this fall before the
burning could be safely done.
With this kind of cooperation
and help, I say they are dedi
cated people at least to skiing.
The ski tow equipment now
being readied is scheduled for
installation about December 16.
We are waiting for a ski rope to
be delivered'. Operated by the
Baldy Butte Ski club, the area
will be open to the use of the

It is 'our hope that this ski

need1 for winter sports recreation
and we would particularly like
to see the youth of the commun

You parents who may be won

them at local stores or talk to
people who ski for they can
help you In purchasing the right
equipment. It you are serlou
about the sport, buy good qual
ity boots, skis and release bind
rigs. Dont buy skis which are
too long and stiff. Children learn
easier on short ones, as do less
active adults.
Anyone can learn to ski If
he can walk and enjoy being
out in the snow. I recently read
about a blind girl who learned
to ski by following the sounds
of her instructor's skis in the
snow ahead of her. She progress
ed so well that she became an
expert skier, even to downhill
racing, strange as It may seem

Despite the large number of
personals Saturday night, the
Mustangs could have won the
battle If they had been able to
come up with a reasonable shoot

It was clearly an off night as
they made trieir 17 from the

Doug Bish. Ken Maynard. and
Tom Coats were piling up point
for the winners and by half
time had fchoved them In front.
31 to 16, Though outdistanced,
the Mustang didn't give up. Kit
George fired a 30 foot shot from
a set position Just before half
time that drilled the net. and
this gave a little surge to morale.

In, bringing the count to 50-41.
But that was it for the Mus
tangs. They could only make one
more point while Bish, Maynard
and Kakin each added two
points for the winners.
Sherman played near Ironman
ball in the second game. They
only made two substitutions,
both coming late In the game,
one after Coat had fouled out.
Ileppner lost both Moyer and
Dubuque on Infractions, and
Gardner and Springer both were
on thin Ice with four each.
Maynard, a main cog In the
Sherman attack, picked up his
fourth foul In the third quarter
but breezed right through the
rest of the game without getting
the fifth whistle.
Considering the fact that
Sherman had bumped the league
favorite, Burns, twice, outcome
of the pair of games could not
be considered too discouraging
even though the Mustangs were
off on shooting.
