Weather warmer but

skiing still hot

to the two already owned;
and next year the majority
of the runs will be lit up for
night skiing.

Booth says the amount of
tuns that will-be lit up next
season will depend on how
much work is accomplished
during the summer. Hours
of operation have not yet
been set, but Booth says

when lit, the mountain will.

probably be open until 1!
p.m.

About $1 million will have
been injected into Cypress
renovations after the lights
are installed, Booth says,
“which isn’t bad for the first

- year of operation. We're try-
ing to develop Cypress into
one of the finer ski facilities
in the Lower Mainiand.”*

Booth says it’s too early to
comment on the. mountain’s

income, since the spring
season is still in full swing.

Mount Seymour’s new
owner Earl Pletsch says he
too was pleased with the
season of skiing.

No renovations have been
made to the mountain this
year, Pletsch says, but plans
for next year include the
elimination of rope tows,
which will be replaced by
chairlifts.

Pletsch says the amount of
skiers has risen this year, but
rather than any peak period,
the flow of patrons has been
Steady.

Monetarily, Pletsch says
the mountain is holding its
own.

Grouse Mountain’s opera-
tions manager Rick Temple
says Grouse has experienced
the best winter in about 15
years with skiing traffic up
from last year by about 80 to
90 per cent.

“It’s primarily due to the
good weather conditions and
great snow,’’ Temple says.
“It's just been superb. After
coming out of receivership
last fall, we just want to
hold our own and get back
on our feet.”*

Temple said he could not
comment on the overall fi-

Temple says the mountain
is looking forward to a good
summer, as it offers warm
weather recreation as well,
including beer gardens,
helicopter rides, hiking,
pony rides and an adventure
playground. Summer passes
are available for the skyride.
