LETTER TO THE EDITOR
I would like to draw your attention to information taken directly off the Sault Ste. Marie Regional Conservation Authority website (www.ssmrca.ca):
"The trail system caters to both the beginner and the advanced skier and welcomes all types of Nordic skiing. Whatever trail you decide to ski, you will be surrounded by the beautiful scenery of Northern Ontario.
S.T.A.R. offers hot and cold beverages, snacks, friendly faces and of course washroom facilities along with the sale of ski passes , rental equipment for all ages and skill levels, ski repair or service or snowshoes. Come in, warm up, and visit with our friendly staff seven days a week . Our operating hours are between 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on a daily basis.
Free parking and the warmth of the Kinsmen Club Centre is available for all skiers to use, seven days a week, and your choice of overnight accommodations is available only five to ten minutes away. Whether you plan to test your skiing ability on our competition trails or take a slow tour north to Mable Lake, you will find a trail that suits your needs.
Come North for some of the continent's finest Nordic skiing, and you can also enjoy many of our fine hotels, shopping and restaurants in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario Canada."
Is the SSMRCA prepared to stand by this statement? As one of the many thousands of skiers in the area, I truly hope so.
Anya Mallinger,
Simpson St.
