Fact of the matter is, Utah is not alone in getting a late start on their 1986-87 ski season. With the excep, tion of one resort, all of the ski areas in Tahoe have yet to open their doors to anxious ski zealots. Boreal Ski Area in Truckee, Calif., just minutes outside of Tahoe City, is the only area featuring enough snow thanks to extensive snowmaking capabilities to cover the Sierra's otherwise barren moun-tainscape. moun-tainscape. The resort was able to open Nov. 8. Boreal, which is located near the top of Donner Summit on Interstate 80, has a base elevation of 7,200 feet over 1,000 feet higher than Lake Tahoe which sits at 6,100. Since most of the Tahoe ski areas start at an elevation similar to the lake, Boreal Ski Area has traditionally tradi-tionally been the first resort to open because of its higher elevation. Currently the resort has three chairlifts opened on an eight- to 22-inch base. During the first two weeks of opening they were, operating exclusively on man-made snow. Sound familiar? "Area resorts think of Thanksgiving Thanksgiv-ing as gravy. They're not panicking yet. If they're not opened by Christmas, then you'll start hearing complaints. They don't want to lose that business," said Ken Heiman, staff reporter for Tahoe World. "We've had warm temperatures lately so resorts haven't been able to make snow. It's not really all that cold around here." Meanwhile in the Intermountain region, Sun Valley opened on Nov. 26 with three feet of man-made snow. Sun Valley Company spokesperson spokesper-son Carl Wilgus said lower Warm Springs lift is operating from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. for $19 a day. "We actually need some natural snow to open much more," said Wilgus. Natural snow cover on top of Bald Mountain varies from eight to 10 inches. in-ches. "We're as good as most anyone right now. Colorado is marginal. Actually, Ac-tually, the only place I found fairly good conditions was in Banff." Sun Valley is hoping to open Bald Mountain mid-December if expected storms hit the area in the next couple cou-ple of weeks. According to an article in The Idaho Mountain Express, "In the last decade, snowfalls in November have varied greatly, with the last five years having far more snow than the first five." In Colorado, Vail Mountain and Beaver Creek started their lifts last week to sunny skies and warm temperatures. Extensive snowmaking has been necessary in opening both resorts, ' which feature "the best skiing on the tops." Snowmaking efforts have been responsible for covering 170 acres of the 242 acres opened at Beaver Creek. Vail opened 830 acres of its area with 58 trails available for skiing. In full operation, Vail features 1,880 acres and 92 named trails. Park City's ski areas have been anxiously awaiting a decent snowfall. The Park City Ski Area has been the only resort to open; a feat they would not have been able to perform per-form without extensive snowmaking efforts. Both Deer Valley and ParkWest have been looking to the heavens before getting carried away with opening their slopes. Meanwhile both resorts have been doing their best at helping good ol' Mother Nature along with pseudo au naturel means. "We've been snowmaking off and on for the past couple of weeks," said supervisor of snowmaking at ParkWest Ski Area, Jay Grimshaw. "As you might know, we have very poor exposure above the lodge. So we've been trying to establish a man-made base before Mother Nature starts working." Grimshaw says his crews have been covering the lower portion of the resort with a two-foot base which will hopefully stick around longer than natural snow. "Artificial snow gives you a very fine, hard base. It's real tough and it handles conditions a lot better. Having Hav-ing a good base does a couple of things. First it cools down the earth so the underneath snow gets nice and hard. Then, hopefully when it does start to snow we will have a good head start. "This season is actually closer to average as far as the weather is concerned. con-cerned. Last year and the year before we haven't really had to use our snowmaking equipment that much. A few years back we didn't have any snow at Thanksgiving also." Deer Valley has also been busy in the past couple of weeks shooting snow on a number of their runs. According to director of sales and public relations, Russ Veenema, Deer Valley has scheduled an opening open-ing for Dec. 13 snow or no snow. , "We've been making snow on Success, Suc-cess, Big Stick and Wide West on the lower mountain. If things continue the way they have been, with cold weather and lack of snow, we'll be able to open by Dec. 13 whether it snows or not." Mother Nature has been more generous on the east coast in the past month. The majority of their resorts opened during November. According to a spokesperson from . Waterville Valley, N.H., the site of the women's second World Cup event scheduled for Dec. 5th and 6th, their area is ready to handle the scheduled slalom and giant slalom races. "We have four of our lifts open with an eight to 15-inch base. We have been making a lot of snow so we're looking pretty good right now." Laurel's Lingerie is here to support local's needs Laurel Hirst has worked in Park City's retail clothing business for the past couple of years, and during that time she discovered a need. The need? A lingerie store for locals, with items for locals and prices for locals. Park City no longer has that need, according to Hirst, since she opened "Laurel's Lingerie" at the Main Street Mall. "We've been open since Nov. 1 because I thought a lingerie store was needed up here," said Hirst, ' who Works at Wolfe's part time and, with the "help of her daughter, Raemie, runs the lingerie store. "We're trying to fill a need for the local people so they don't have to go to Salt Lake City. They can shop right here. "I want the ladies of Park City to know that this is a nice, basic lingerie shop. We have everything from bras, panties, half slips, camisoles, warm pajamas, night gowns, robes, garter belts and baby doll pajamas. And we carry a selection selec-tion of different stockings to go with the garter belts," she said. Besides women's items, Laurel's Lingerie stocks men's warm robes, night shirts and pajamas. "We also have different types of velour and fleece jumpsuits," she said. "It's a shop with basic foundations and sleepwear." Hirst has been in the lingerie K 1 , ,S yn J is V ; ''V. .
