oo Snow lacking RICHARD Kennard calls it the “Whistler Propaganda Snow Report.” ing The West Vani man is referring to the Whistler Blackcomb recorded ski report which provides skiers and snow boarders up-to-date weather condi tions. Kennard organized a success outdoor, pre- paredness education ses- sion for a number of Caulteild Elementary: stu- dents a few months age, and is hoping to take the presentation to other schools. In fight of the record snow fall ins and around the North Shore, he is upser that the ski report (687-7307) doesn’t tell the whole story. “It's more a marketing device than it is a useful report,” Kennard con- tends. “E think the report- ing should be a tittle: more realistic,” He uses a Whistler-area professional weather report (1-604-938-7690), a recorded message that includes temperatures at three different. elevations and wind speed and diree- tion. He also believes the ski hill industry should be more responsible and edu- cate people about the mountains. “Being a good extreme snowboarder is very ditfer- ent from being an exireme idiot.” — Andrew MeCredie Canterbury Inn Victoria 1-800-952-2151 erice for the “one nights accommodation, admission to exhibit, three course dinner contieital breakfast" | should be $99.00 per night ($10 each addtional person) “ADVERTISING CORRECTION In our Home Book insert (prom. #671) included in this newspaper- PLEASE NOTE: Page 5 - -Meaitations* bedroom grouping. 20% off.
