SKI TRAILS By BIRDINE TULLIS The lack of snow seems to be ihe main topic of conversation among the local skiers at pre sent. This beautiful springlike weather is not really appreciated by the devout skier who has equipment packed and his skies well waxed ready to go at the first hint of sufficient snow. I can well imagine the Impatience of all' the youngsters who re ceived a shiny pair of skis for Christmas. The local ski classes planned by our Chamber of Commerce and Arbuckle Ski Club have created quite a bit of interest In the sport. A number of registra tion forms have been received from would-be skiers. We hope to be able to go ahead with the lessons as planned, but if snow does not fall immediately It will be necessary to change the dates lor the classes. I would suggest that you got your registration in immediately if you plan to take advantage of the classes. The classes are open to all ages of children on a class basis. Adults wishing lessons will be able to take them from the intructor cither on a private, semi-private, or perhaps as a class If there is interest lrom this age group. Many people ask at what age children can start skiing. This of course, depends on the Indi vidual child. I have observed that the small ones take to the hill with very little difficulty. Our own children had their first skis before they were of school age. So get those registration forms in now! Mail them to Alice Vance, secretary, Arbuckle Ski club, or leave them at the ski shop. As there was no snow near home, my family visited an area that is quite new. At this time Mt. Bachelor, or Bachelor Butte, which ever you prefer to call it, is the one place In the Pacific Northwest that is blessed with snow. The mountain is located about 20 miles from Bend. They have a chair lift, a poma, T-Bar and rope. I was amazed to find skiers from all over the west crowding the slopes. The lift lines looked discouragingly long, but moved quite fast, and the ardent skier in our group man aged to get In plenty of skiing. The great number of skiers must have presented quite a problem to the management as it was ap parent they were operating far above their usual capacity from the size of the lodge, parking lot, and such facilities. Bachelor Butte is one of the fastest grow ing areas in Oregon, I hear. Ski fashions are wonderful this year, and it was a treat just to see some of the beautifully-coordinated stretch pants and parkas worn by the skiers. Metal skies seemed to be by far the most popular type on the slope. The Chamber of Commerce in Bend seemed to be well aware of Ihe business the ski season was bringing to their community. Motels and hotels had prominent signs "skiers welcome!" Pilot Butte Inn had a twist party for the amusement of skiers, but I will have to report that no one In our party seemed interested after a long day on the moun tain. Ski Thoughts Arbuckle ski area Is ready to operate just as soon as the snow piles up Ski ing is wonderful recreation for the entire family Kids, wear those new boots around the house a bit and they will be more comfortable on your first trip to the hill Use wax on your boots to make them water proofThe Peck family was also enjoying the facilities at Bache lor over the holiday And Pete Lybecker, your Instructor-to-be was getting in some practice there Any interested skier is invited to'join Arbuckle ski club Have faith, it will snow!
