The answer, quickly, Is "no", and as the highland hardwoods begin to don their brilliant au tumn colors, attention at Sap phire Valley is directed to the facility that nukes the Real tec Incorporated project a true year-around resort community. It's the Sapphire Valley SU Area, one of the pioneer skiing facilities in the South east and home of what still are some of the most popular slopes in the North Carolina This will be the seventh sea son for the Sapphire Valley Ski area and since snow suitale for the increasingly • popular win ter sport often is a question able nutter, Ski Instructor Heinz Oberhauser hopes |f that seven will be a lucky number. “We had 45 days of skiing last winter”, said Oberhauser, a native of Kals, Austria,” and that really Is above average for this part of the United States. Naturally, we’re hop ing for twice that many days this season.” Sapphire Valley’s ski season begins December 15th and ends in late March. Just in case Mother Nature fails to cooperate and pro duce anew, the resort has of Sapphire Valley’s longest slopes measures 1,200 feet with a 290-foot verticle drop and is served by a double chair lift from the base lodge to the top of the run. A rope tew serves the be ginners area adjacent te the base lodge. Oberhauser, who has been in this country since 1968, is be ginning his second season at Sapphire Valley. Prior to his arrival in the North Carolina mountains, he was Instructor at Renegade Resort and Viking Mountain in Tennessee. He has been spending re cent crisp early fall days in readying the slopes, lifts and other equipment for the com ing season. Rates for the 1973-1974 sea son will not, like almost every thing else, be increased, Ob erhauser said. This means that novice and expert skiers and ail with ability in between have a bargain potential. All-day lift tickets will coat 38 on weekends and holidays and only $5 Monday through Friday. Equipment rental, which includes boots, skis and poles, follows the same fee schedule. Students get an even better deal. For $8.00 on weekdays, they get a lift ticket, rental equipment and a hot lunch at the baae lodge. Oberhauser ia available for group and indi vidual lessons.
