Sundance is situated 15 miles northeast of Provo on the Alpine Loop.

One of the (loubb chair lifts is over a mile in length and 1,400 ft above the starting point The other, just under a mile in length, has a 900 ft. vertical. The lift total is intermediate because on the planning boards are six additional double chair lifts that will rank Sundance among the best resorts in the state. A new restaurant at Sundance features an old west atmosphere with excellent cuisine for groups of two to 100. Adjacent to the restaurant is a quaint boutique full of unusual souvenirs, leather goods, original pottery, Indian artifacts and stylish clothes. Lodging is available at nearby Provo and Heber City. Also in the offing is a completely village to be constructed at the resort featuring shops and stores, and motel and condominium units.

The first annual event was a huge success and is hailed as the first tubing competition ever held. "We feel that the number of competitors will at least double for the 1970 Tubing Olympics," said Anne Boyden, director of advertising and public relations. But Gorgoza isn't entirely out of the ski business. The resort has many beginning and intermediate slopes plus a certified ski school. The ski school jt under the direction of Lou and his staff of instructors who put more than 500 new skiers on slats during the 1968-- 9 season. A new rope tow is being built along with expansion of food services. Free babys'tting, ample parking and a ski shop completes the list of facilities at the area.

JUNIOR BOUNOUS & BOO ter recreation areas is opening op with a blizzard of entertainment for thoe w ho like winter recreation, but don't ski. Gorgoza has taken to heart the desire of many people to "do what we did many years ago before the skiing boom." This includes sledding, tobogganing and tubing down a steep hill covered with fresh snow and the squeals of children. This year the resort will add a skating rink to their facilities hoping to attract more winter enthusiasts who have been staying home rather than play "second fiddle" to the popular skier. Gorgoza offers the world's longest toboggan chutes and a tubing hill to families and groups so that feel very much at home at the resort Plans are now being made for the Second Annual Tubing Olympics to be held early in " K SKI SCHOOL Utah Recreation Ski Classes County-Wid- e SCHEDULE SESSION FOR BOTH DRY-1AN- D A. 26 OF DATES DECEMBER 4:00 to 6:00 p.m.-NO- PARK RTH REGISTRATION Oreai Registration shaft" begin on December 4 and end December 20.
