Ski Talk. Talking about skiing, »

Those who do not'ski can find themselves
paralyzed in certain social sattings. In the
meat of a good storm cycle, these, same non-
types can.often be seen wandering’ around
crowded rooms searching in vais for any con-
versation removed from how deep it was, or
how light it was, or what it looks like for
tomorrow. G.S. or slalom, yellow’or green or
a mixture of both, Early World‘ Cup results
and the price of heli-skiing. Mythical falls
and legendary Turkey Roasts. Ski hill Politics
and road trips, And ski talk somehow keeps
its staying power until the first green stains

from the Birchbank course canbe seen from

Ski: ti ps by Terty Mills er i

he p of ‘Grant y

So it is with the ‘talk of skiing, as much a

_Part'of the sport as the sliding itself, and the '
ski talk in our area has just been given a'pre-’

cious gift. The Hill’ Around —'75 years on
Skis in Rossland by Jack Mitchell! is the
memoirs of one of Rossland's modern day
siding forefathers, From his first experiences
on ski as a youngster, in 1917, to the accounts
of the building of the Red Chairlift in 1947,

and following the Red Mountain Ski Club °

through to the Present, Jack Mitchell's book
becomes an instant piece of Rossland folk-
lore.

of Rossland —,a town that is in'fact the ori-
gin of the sport in westem Canada — is Jack

Mitchell’s treatment of what still lights up his ~

eyes at age 79.

Of his days as a boy discovering the world
of skiing, Mitchell writes: '... With this outfit
we able to control gur speed, and to make
stem tums to control our direction. We had no
instruction at all and had to find these things
out for ourselves, In‘ fact,’ for a year or so I

was in those

days that we

really began

to appreciate

the value of

skis for win-

ter travel, and to enjoy the beauty of gliding
_ Silently amid the snow-covered trees or on

ficlds of snow glistening in the sun, And it
“was in these days that I acquired my love'for
the hills around, which has stayed with me all
my life”

“Thankfully for those who have from time
to time talked about the snow, or babbled on
about ‘the best boots on the market, Jack
“Mitchell has taken the time to put some of
this talk into type.’ And by the strength of the
ski'talk that still runs high every season, I
would venture that the love of skiing is alive

and well today.

The Twin Rivers development
will have an impact on the people
of Castlegar. PERC says the river-
front site has a tremendous poten-
tial because of its location. The
proposed 70-acre area follows the

River from Z
oad to the B.C. Gas site, Even
if local athletes aren't treated to
new facilities in that area, the
input they've given will affect
future recreational development
and upgrading elsewhere.
