SCHOOL .
Coal Creek Canyon, which includes the original
railroad grade (dating from the operations conducted from
1900 to 1908) offers excellent cross-country skiing possibilities .
The canyon is particularly scenic , has relatively gentle
slopes and is generally free of avalanches . Development
for downhill and cross-country skiing would be simultaneous
and compatible. Further , the recreational alternatives
afforded by development for both kinds of skiing will , we
feel , enhance the attractiveness of each , individually , to
vacationers .
