UarriiiK bad weather from now on until July, it is the opinion of H. K Momyer, In charge of Crater Lake Na tional Park during the winter, that the tourist t-en.-on will open on time this year, from June 15 to July 1. There Is now twelve feet of snow at headquarters, but it Is not yet packed, according to Mr. Momyer, and good weather will take It off In itme. "'The time is ripe now for skiing parties to visit the lake." said Mr. Momyer today, "as the scenery Is Jest nt thls ime of year. jwweJljia theJipar tob-Beafr1tlrdln-theWreenT kllng. The snow Is in such shape tbat by greasing the skits, parties may travel all day without difficulty. The time for skiing parties will be good for a month yet." Snow at headquarters this year haa lacked one foot of being as deep as it was last year, according to Mr. Mo myer, reaching u depth of fourteen feet this year the deepest, while fif teen feet was the record last year. The storms have been late this year, while they were early last year. There has hardly been a clenr day for weeks, the sun shining only occasionally for short periods. Some of tho storms have been M'vcre, one snowfall amounting to six feet in depth. A number of women have made the trip to tho lake this winter, but the number of visitors has been smaller, owing to the storms up to this time. Starting from above Fort Klamath it is but eleven miles to headquarters. There is a cabin there with a stove, home blankets, and skiing parties, if not too large, need bring nothing but food and thcr wraps with them. The lake has been frozen this year slightly more this year than usual, with considerable ice between Wizard Island and tho shore, while the remain der of the lake is practically clear. Mr. Momyer will return to the park this week, being out on business.
