One of Hood River’s fastest growing and most popular organizations Is the Guide Ski club which was started In the fall of 11(25 with about 15 members and practically all of them beginners who were strangers to a pair of sklis. J. O. Hannum gave them the use of Homestead Ina which they have made their headquarters every winter since. With a small organisation lacking membership, finances and ability, suit able ski slides were scarce so they had to find the best {«issibte places to do their skiing with the result that very weldom could they make use of the liest snow conditions and the conven iences of the Homestead Inn which was nt their disposal. With this condition before them and realizing that successful winter sports nctivitles must be centralized where tlie conditions are of the best and most convenient, their winter sports com mittee chose a bill about one-half tnlle west of the Homestead where the con ditions met practically all of the re quirements, and by unanimous consent of the members named this place Han num hill In honor of Mr. llaunum. After many busy week ends spent In clearing laud they now have a ski slide where If one choses he can start with the sky line the limit at the crest of Sand Canyon ridge and travel a swift half mile to a flat below and on across this flat down another slope a quarter of a mile to Homestead Inti. A course for ski jumping is also available that is plenty steep and situated favorably to meet the particular requirements of ski jumping. With the growing popularity of ski ing there hss arisen a need for sn ade quate available skiing grounds that will meet the requireineuta of everyone from l>eginiK*rH to professionals, llan- iiuin Hill in connection with the Home stead Inn grounds will do all of this and more, according to the ski spetdal- tstH. The Homestead Inn is clos'd for the winter to everyone but Guide Ski club members, who now number about 110 and soon will pass last year’s mem- liership of 125.
