services and facilities

SEYMOUR THE SASQUATCH, seven feet of furry fun,
has heralded in an exciting new season at Seymour’ Ski

Country.

The new mascot, who can be
seen skiing down the snowy slopes

‘or munching the new Sasquatch

Burgers (42 pound of beef, plus
fixings) at the cafeteria, is only one
of the recent developments on the
mountain.

Skiers will have even greater ac-
cessibility to the mountain this
year thanks to a new bus service. .

“This will be the most extensive.”

ski bus route throughout the
Lower Mainland,”’ says Marketing

a.m or 9:30 a.m. or at the North
Shore Winter Club at 7:50 or 9:20

Carter also had news about the:

mountain facilities for skiers.
There’s a new 5,500 square foot
building combining a rental shop
with a “‘brown bag’? Junchroom.
“This should. improve our effi-
ciency. Sometimes, with school
groups, we see over 1,000 skiers go
through that area per day,’’ says
Carter. —

Hungry skiers can also grab
snacks at the three new. log cabin
style concessions situated on the
slopes.

Mountain management has done
a lot of grooming of the area over
the’ summer, such that the
Brockton Chair is open and. the
Ridge Chair better than ever.

FIVE-YEAR-OLD Katie Zielke was s proud and excited to be able to
attend kindergarten at Upper Lyno Elementary with her father’s luu-
chkit at her side. The slightly rusted Disneyland lunchkit that Wayne
Zielke took to Canyon Heights Elementary — about 30 years ago —
was discovered at her grandmother’s house by Katie, who insisted it
return to its former usefulness.
