The Chalet:style building is the starting point to 600 acres of groomed trails. Ps Skiing the easy way ---- an instructor gives a youngster a tow during a lesson at Dagmar last While some may be cursing the week's newly fallen snow, ski buffs in the area are chomping at the bit waiting for their turn on the slopes. Not that there's much waiting in- volved around here. With Dagmar Ski Resort just around the corner, a day on skis is as easy as a 20 minute drive from Port Perry. Dagmar, on Durham Regional Road 23 just south of Durham Regional Road 21, has plenty to of- fer the alpine or cross-country en- thusiast this winter. Even if there's no snow on the ground in Scugog (which there is, now), there's lots of the white stuff "at Dagmar, about a foot and a half base, thanks to snow making machines. And if you don't have time to ski all day, you'll want to take advan- tage of Dagmar's innovative ski by the hour policy, allowing customers to pay only for the time they want to ski. On weekdays, two hours on the slopes cost only $8. On weekends, the price jumps slightly to $10. Friday morning. Sg oT The sign ("Never Skied") and this young lad's face pretty well explains this photo of a ning lessons at | group of school kids taking in some Friday mor- Dagmar. New this year is a Learn to Ski School, offered to people who have never skied before, For $19.95, beginners get four hours of full ren- tal equipment, four hours of skiing and a one hour lesson, on weekends only, with two sessions starting at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. But that's not all that's new at Dagmar. According to Robin Harris, public relations director at Dagmar, the most exciting addition to the ski resort is a new cross-country centre, complete with snack bar, heated waxing room, ski school and rental shop. The centre, she says, has been in the building stage for about a year and a half, and cost approximately $250,000. Built to resemble so- meone's home (a beautiful chalet- style home), it's a cozy starting point to Dagmar's cross-country trails, which spread over 600 acres. Although alpine skiers still out- number cross-country enthusiasts four to one, Robin claims cross- country is growing stronger every - year, with Toronto having the big- gest population of cross-country buffs in Canada.
