There are ten of them roaming On- tario's ski bilIs and trails. The -snoops" are detective-type skiers hired by the Ontario Ski Resorts to check on the accuracy of ski condition reports. Each resort sends a daily report to the Ministry of Tourism office in Barrie where announcer Jack Lynch broadcasts the conditions to various media outlets across the province. The -snoops" visit the hilîs and if a report for the day from a resort is -good," the pivate eye makes sure it's just that - "good." The idea was inaugurated last year when there were complaints from skiers that some of the reports wvere misleading. 0f course, skiing conditions were terrible ast year. The mild weather wreacked havoc on the biUS and there was a temptation for some resort operators to stretch the truth at times. So the "sgnoops" were sent out. The operators became more cautious. The penalty for an inaccurate report' was- being dropped from. the broadcasts. Or possibly, losing membership in the Association. 1 joined Jack Lynch in the littie studio where he broad- casts. In a nearby room, two assistants were answer- ing inquiiesand taking updated reports by phone. Later, Jack was telling methat the ski detectives aren't paid in cash. But they are given season passes to ail of the resorts.1 By chance, I actually met a ski snoop at one\ of the resorts. We hadn't seen each other in years. He used to be a newsman on the staff of a radio station where 1 once wvorked, and we used.to caîl him "Scoop." He confided, off the record of course, that he was one of the snoops. I found it an unusual coincidence. I watched him take off on a cross-country trail. He was an average skier. Neither very good or very bad. An excellent type for the job. As I left, I had the feeling that l'd been let in on a trade secret. Undercover stuff. Who wvould have suspected that my old buddy Scooo was a snoop.
