B.C. hills offer much

THE WONDER of nature’s
snow-capped mountains has been
the subject of people’s imagina-
tions for generations.

Poets, recreationists, and artists
have tried to define their lure, find-
ing joy in their own discoveries,
while skiers find freedom of mo-
tion with every hill.

B.C. is the place to be this
season if you enjoy skiing. Each
ski area has something for
everyone from the flamboyant to
the serious. Whether it’s relaxing
by a crackling fire or taking to the
slopes, B.C.’s got it.

Blackcomb has the highest ver-
tical skiing (1,609 m) in North
America, a large alpine area, a
variety of runs for the intermediate
and low intermediate skier, 48
trails for cross-country skiing, and
a full ski school program.

It is located on Highway 99, just
120 km north of Vancouver.

Big White, located 31 km east of
Kelowna, offers skiing for every
level, with a ski bowl for single or
groups, and spectacular after-ski
facilities. Cross-country skiers can
take advantage of 25 km for all
levels.

Over on Grouse Mountain, near
downtown Vancouver (15 minutes

drive) there is day and night skiing
for all levels and well-marked
patrolled trails for cross country
skiing.

Hemlock Valley, 40 km east of
Mission, has the longest con-
tinuous night skiing in the Lower
Mainland. Special family programs
and private or group lessons for all
levels are avai'able.

A perfect get-away this holiday
is a trip to Manning Park, 70 km
west of Hope on Highway 3. With
well-groomed slopes and up-to-
date-facilities, Manning Park also
accomodates the beginner and the
more advanced skier.

On the back door of the North
Shore lies Seymour, a beginner to
intermediate mountain. Ski schcols
and wilderness trails for cross—
country skiing are also available.

Silver Star mountain boasts
some 35 runs, superb skiing and
facilities. Located near Vernon,
Silver Star has full accomodation,
ski schools and night skiing.
Cross-country trails are patrolled
and lighted for night skiing.

Some of the finest skiing in the
country is offered at Whistler
mountain, one of North America’s
longest verticals. Special events are
plenty, like the Dave Murray
