The .Red Mountain Ski Club
at Rossland can look for financial
support from Castlegar and the
entire West Kootenay if its mem:
bership changes its way of think-
ing so that it will be geared for
skiing development to benefit the
entire region — not just the Ross-
land-Trail area,
: These Indications came from

Grassy Mountain Ski Club publi-
city director Dr, Douglas Ternent
of Castlegar.

This recently-formed club,
which may have access to about
$100,000, has run up against var-|

Grassy Mountain and is now ser-
lously looking at development pro-
Posals of the Red Mountain club,
as are other organizations in the
region,
The Red Moutain executive
will ask the club's .membership
to authorize a loan of $75,000 for
of Granite

The executive, by its request

for authorization, of a loan, has
indicated that there is a definite
need for expansion of club facili-

Red mountain, as its slogan im-
plies, is a “hill of champions.””
It is not a good moutain for
the average skier and because of
this cannot be sold to tourist ski-
ers, |;
i Moit tourist skiers are fam-
ily skiers who come.for the week-
end. The distarice’ is not. of great
importance as long as facilities are
easily accessible ard that roads
are in good condition.
And, of course, the most im-
portant - +factor. to the tourist is
that he does not have to fear a
mountain and can enjoy the skiing.
; This, however, ‘is not. so at
Red Mountain presently. There are
no real intermediate runs'on the
mountain and therefore it does not
appeal to the average skier.

However, if the Granite Moun-

tain basin and Indian Flats are
opened, there would be no limit
to the variation which could be
established,

Dr..Ternent said the proposal
‘looks Hike this would serve the

gion quite well.”

But it is most important that
the club's membership start think-
ink in terms of serving the region,
not just themselves.

Tf the club does not do this,
all the other communities in the
‘West Kootenay will try to establish
skling facilities for themselves,

Red Mountain is centrally lo-
cated and,is the largest organiza-
tion in the, area now.

With the opening of the Ross-
land-Sheep Lake highway to be
completed this year, the travelling
time between points of Castlegar
and Kinnaird would be consider-
ably less. 7
The Castlegar club is faced
with one big problem of not hav-
ing established roads into Grassy
Mountain.

Only a logging road exists at
present and if the club did develop
the area, it would havé to keep
the roads open itself.

Another problem.is that part
of the mountain is owned by a
logging firm.

Authoritative’ estimates place
costs of keeping such a road open
in the winter at $1,000 per mile
per month.

y Whether the club could carry
such a burden is highly question-
able, It may have to keep the]
road open for a distance of eight
miles.

In other words the club is
looking at an immediate overhead
of about $8,000 per month during
the ski season.

One solution to this problem
is to have an A-class park esta-
blished in the area, but*it is fair-
ly certain the logging firms would
not agree to this as they would
have to suspend operations in the
area.

Grassy Mountain would. also
be mainly only good for skiing
in the spring months as it is above
the timberline and winds during
the winter would spoil the runs.
Nearby: Siwash Mountain is
also being invetsigated by the Cas-
tlegar club. This moutain is owned
by. the crown but would mean an
additional distance of about three
miles,

Squaw Basin, which runs off
the north side of Granite Moun-
tain, is an ideal skiing spot.

it is only dotted by timber
and has long ski season.
Development of this basin
would establish conditions agree-
able to nearly all tastes.

One official of the Castlegar
elub said: “There is a lot to re-
commend for joint development.”
The Granite Mountain devel-
opment proposal will ' go. -before
the Red Mountain membership
and if it succeeds ‘it could very
easily win the support of organiza-
tions in Nelson, Salmo, Grand
Forks and Castlegar, it is felt.

Dr. Ternent said: “We should
try to develop some regional skiing
for the youngsters.”

Squaw Basin is located in the
midst of some of. the most beauti-
ful scenery to be found in the
Interior,

, It has great potential of ap-

Winter Works Aid
For Park Gook-Out

Construction of a cook-out
shelter and checkerboard at. the
Kinsmen Patk will be carried out
under the winter works program
as soon as weather permits, Comm.
Lorne Zinio told council’s meeting
last week,

He said that the . park shouia
also be completely fenced and sug-
gested that a 4-ft. high chain-link
fence could be, provided for about
$2,100 and could be erected under
the winter works program,

pealing to the tourists skier, and
would give, Chambers .of Com-
merce.in the Kootenay something
with which to sell the area to the
tourist.

It was also mentioned by Dr.
‘Ternent that the club urge the go-
vernment to have the area made
into an A-class park and thus. re-
celve aid from the government. —

However, Red Moutain club
manager Peter Alder opposes such
a-move, claiming that the con-
cessions which would have to be

given the government would be
too great.

He said the government would
not give direct financial aid to the

club. It would not make money
available at low interest rates,

The only thing the govern-
ment would do is to construct runs
and roads,

But the government would de-
cide where the runs would go and
what type of lift would be used.

Tf the Castlegar club were

successful in having Grassy Moun-
tain designated as a park, the go-
vernment would be responsible for
keeping the.,roads open, but by
the same token the club would
have to make these same conces-
sions to the government.
This leaves but one clear pro-
gram to be taken-and that is that
Granite Moutain and Squaw Basin
