From Heppner were the Vances and Laura Lee bum ner. The snow measured about 24 inches. The new tow jn Echo run is quite an improvement as it gives beginner and intermedi ate skiers access to a more vari ed slope, and relieves the con gestion on the beginners tow and slope. The high hill is lacking in snow, and few were skiing it as it did not appear safe. game of 197.

Date of the beginning lesson will be announced. All those enrolled for the course will be notified by phone. There is approximately ten inches of snow at Arbuckle now. Many who read this column may wonder how a ski club happened to get started in our area. So a brief history of the ski club It was started by a group of people from Heppner, lone, and Lexington who share a mutual desire to ski economically, and near enough home that families can get to the area for a Sunday afternoon recr eation after church. We first attempted to have our tow at Cutsforth Park, but it soon became apparent that, to have a good pack of snow, we were going to have to move to a higher elevation. So the present site on Arbuckle was selected. With the approval of the For est Service, the work of clearing a slope was started. All of the work done at the area has been done by donated labor. Much of the material and equipment has also been donated. A warming hut was constructed, rest room facilities provided, a tow was built, a small area was cleared of brush and poles, and the rope purchased for the tow. We also found it necessary to have in surance. All this costs money, and the club frequently finds it difficult to keep tho bank book balanced. 1 believe all the club members felt they were repaid for their ef forts last winter, however, by the enjoyment they and many others found in skiing on our own slope. The club does not intend, or even hope to show a profit on the ski area we only hope to make enough from tow tickets to pay the expenses of maintain ing the area anil provide recrea tion for all who are interested. There is a rental shop on the the area for the convenience of any skier who does not yet have his' own equipment. This is oper ated bv Peck's Ski Shop. Many more improv e m e n t s were made over the last summer and we are hopeful that suffi cient snow will fall soon to en able the area to begin operation. This has been a bad year for most ski areas in the west duo to the shortage of snow even on the very high elevations. A word of thanks to many who have helped the club to all who purchased prepaid tow tickets and attended Booster Night last fall to Chuck McLean of the Forest Service for his "above and beyond the call of duty" help and encouragement to Bob tan tonwine who spent many even ings last winter teaching First Aid to club members the Cham ber of Commerce for sponsoring the ski school Kinzua Lumber Company for improvements on the road and a parking lot at the area and all the members who have labored long to be ready for a good ski season this year. Pray for snow, and we'll see you on the hill! NIAGARA Falls might put out a fire but the TURNER, VAN MARTER AND BRYANT INSURANCE AGENCY, Heppner, will pay for the loss.
