About five years ago the Richards teamed up with two other people who wanted to start a ski resort in the Oshawa area. When the going got rough, the two part- ners got going and the Richards were stuck with the project on their own. "It's pretty tough, especially when you're starting out and the bills keep piling up,' he says. '"'A good year sure helps out." If that's the case, Trillium Valley has been getting a lot of help this season. Like other ski resorts across the province, Trillium has enjoyed incomparable snow conditions and has prospered. The property, all 162 acres of it, was pur- chased three years ago. Ron knew about the pro- perty from 'the days when his father skied with the Oshawa Ski Club. "This is the original site of the Oshawa Club," he points out. "I knew this valley was here, one of the prettiest areas I know and when I - went by one day the sign was up. It was for sale and I bought it." Trillium now boasts 22 km. of trails including beginner, intermediate and - expert levels. Designed with the family in mind, the trails are groomed daily, good and wide with no trees 'ready to jump out at you." At the top of the valley is a chalet which houses a lounge, dining area, snack bar, rentals and pro shop. Both the lounge and dining area are fully licensed and skiers can enjoy live entertainment in the lounge on Saturday nights and Sunday after- noons. And for 'those who want to ski all day and all night too, the trails are lit up Tues- day, Thursday and Sat- urday nights. Trail fees are $3.50 for adults and $1 for children. A full day of rentals will cost adults: $7.50 and kids under 12 $5.50. The resort is located on the west side of the Oshawa Rd., just south of the ridges.
