pressures and stresses in their lives,
some of which we all had to tace while

‘Timing’ said reason
for blocked highway

THE NEW operators of the Cypress Bow! ski fa-
elites say it was “‘bad timing’’ and nothing else
that stopped as many as 2,500 vehicles from mak-
ing their way to the snow atop the mountain this

weekend.

Frustrated and sometimes
angry motorists were turned
back trom both Cypress and
Mt Seymour over the
weekend, apparently because
of the change-over from
provincial government to
private operation of the two
ski facilites

Under the provincial gov-
ernment’s. plan to switch
Operations to the private sec-
tor, long-term land use

leases have been signed tor
the operation of Cypress and
are expected to be signed in

the near tuture tor Mt
Seymour.
But on both mountains

the snow has arrived betore
the leases are in tull etfect
and the result was the bloch-
ed access.

On Cypress, the land use
contract does not turn re-
sponsibility tor the mountain
— and theretore tor the

plowing and maintenance of
the access road — over to
the private operators until
tomorrow (Thursday, Nov.
1)

According to Wayne
Booth, general manager of
the company that will be
running Cypress, the group
was plowing the roads
through the weekend but
that they did not have the
authority to open the roads
to traffic. The Parks
Branch, meanwhile, had the
authority, but not the
snow-clearing equipment.

Booth said the road was
opened to traffic Tuesday
and will be kept open from 8
a.m to 6 p.m. throughout

the winter.

Meanwhile at Seymour the
lack of a contract for opera-
tion of the ski facilities led
to the blocked roads
Because the provincial gov-
ernment is in the process of
negotiating a lease for the
mountain, the Parks Branch
has not licenced and insured
snow-clearing equipment for
the season.

According to the Parks
Branch efforts were being
made early this week to
secure equipment or a con-
tractor to do the necessary
work to open the mountain
to those attracted by the
snow.
