'great!'
The skiing at Arbuckle

was one of the best in many
years.
There was a hard crust with
almost two inches of new

the good snow and inexpensive
rales. Five feet of snow, sunny
skies, and a warm 20-25
degree temperature pre
vailed. A ski bus is running from

generally a 4 H bus, anyone
may ride it for a charge of 50
cents. It stops at the Heppner
