The army has requested that the work be completed in the summer of 1843 to provide greater recreation facilities for war w orkers and men of the armed forces In the Ogden area and we still hope that this can be done This section of the lift when completed will be Just a' little less than a mile In length with a vertical drop of about 1200 feet WUl Eliminate Climb II will cut out the hard work ©f climbing and make the thrilla of long downhill runs available to hundreds and even thousand! of skiers Instead of the mere handful who now make the long climb to the top of Wildcat or the Mt Ogden ridge under their own power Three Bone Planned From the top of this section of the lift 'at an elevation of 000 feet there will eventually be three splendid ski runs Wildcat 'which waa completed two
