Blowing Rock Ski Lodge Reports
Over 2, 500 Admissions ToSlopes
Blowing Rock Ski Lodge Inc.,
the South'! newest ski resort,
recorded more than 2,900 paid
admissions to the ski slopes in
its first month ot full operation,
M. E. Thalheimer, president,
said today.
Though saaay of the admis
sions were "repeats," Mr. Thal
heimer said, at least 1,200 diff
erent individuals tried the
slopes at least once. They
ranged from rank beginners to
expert skiers.
In addition, he said, more
than 1,000 persons were admit
ted to the area as spectators.
The lodge charges a 91 admis
sion fee to the ski area, re
fundable oa admission to slopes
and tows.
The report covers the period
between December 13, date of
the lodge's formal opening, and
January IS, Mr. Thalheimer
said.
Most of the business came on
week ends, he said, noting that
the resort recently instituted a
"package plan" covering lodg
ing and ski charges. Motels in
the Blowing Rock-Boone area
are cooperating in the plan,
which enables skiers to obtain
a room and ski area admission
for as little as $10 a day ? Mon
day through Friday.
The lodge also Is arranging
a number of mid-week group
sessions, which are available at
special rates. College groups,
notably, have expressed inter
est, Mr. Thalheimer said.
The area has had sufficient
snow for akiing every week end
since the opening, Mr Thai
heimer noted, despite some un
seasonably warm weather early
in January.
The snow bate built up from
both natural snow and that
made by the special equipment
during December held up dur
ing the warm spells. The snow
making machinery has been op
erating regularly since January
12 making up for snow lost dur
ing the warm snap, he said.
"Our experience during the
first month indicates we will
have little difficulty keeping
snow until at least the middle
of March, assuming we have no
freak long warm spells," Mr.
Thalheimer Mid.
The ski area situated between
Blowing Rock and Boone ? less
than three hours drive from
the populous Piedmont Caro
lina! and western Tennessee ?
is the most southerly in the
nation. It has spurred "tre
mendous" interest in winter
sport in the area, Mr. Thalheim
er said.
