Now Twelve Feet of Snow at Head
quarters, But Is Not Packed Time
o Visit Park on Skis Is Now, and
Will Last a Month Fourteen Feet
of Snow Record This Year, Lacking
a Foot of Last Year's Mark.
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. He
