Wednesday, February 27, 1985AThe Battalion/Page 7 ge Spring — (continued from page 1) used to the real thing before moving to harder slopes. The mountain is about 30 minutes from Glenwood and officials said Tuesday 10 inches of new powder snow has fallen on top of the 56-inch packed powder base. The slopes are 00 percent open. Sunlight, only about 20 minutes from Glenwood Springs, is a moun tain that isn’t hard to master. Officals said Tuesday 3.5 inches of new powder has fallen on the 51- inch packed powder base. Many people ski at Sunlight, espe- ially those who are not serious kiers. T he slopes can get crowded n the afternoons. Aspen, my favorite, is an old silver boom town. The two slopes offer some excellent skiing, both cross country and downhill. The Aspen Highlands challenge even the world’s best skiers. A day or half-day lift ticket can be purchased and the tickets allow you to ride either the pommel or chair lift. Aspen Highlands maintains a small practice slope, but if you aren’t sure you are really ready for the real thing, it is best to practice elsewhere. Nighttime in Aspen can be a study in romance. Riding through the town on a horse-drawn carriage with that special person as the snow gently falls past antique street lamps is not to be missed. Officials said Tuesday Aspen Mountain had 20 inches of new pow der snow on the 61-inch packed powder base. 97 percent of the runs were open. Thirteen inches of new powder has fallen on the 46-inch powder base at the Highlands and runs are 98 percent open. Right now Aspen Highlands has the best powder skiing in Colorado, but if you are a fanatic for powder snow, Steamboat Springs, the home of the famous “champagne powder,” is the place to be. The area is collectively called Steamboat Springs, but Steamboat Village is about two miles from the downtown Steamboat area. The village offers a variety of night spots as does the downtown area. Be sure to visit Hershey’s in the village area. Also, a gondola ride is offered at the village. The ride is wofth the cost, especially if you want good pic tures of beautiful Mount Werner to remember spring break 1985 by. Room is still available for the week of March 11 in the downtown area, but most accommodations in the vil lage are full. Eleven inches of new powder has fallen on the 70-inch packed powder base. The runs are 100 percent open. Finally, Vail, the celebrity skiing town, needs to be mentioned. Last year during spring break, all of the local night spots and clubs there ran out of ice for mixed drinks: important information for students to remember. Their ice supply was depleted for two days until more could be trucked in from Denver. Six inches of new powder has fallen on the 60-inch packed powder base and 95 percent of the runs are open. any Inmate suspected in two attacks i; the irs ? 1985 Associated Press HUNTSVILLE — Two separate stabbing incidents in the front of the same cell at the Clemmens Unit of the Texas Department of Correc tions occurred within 17 hours and officials said Tuesday the same in mate is a suspect in both attacks. TDC spokesman Charles Brown laid that both of the stabbing victims are in stable condition at hospitals. In the firstjncident, inmate Rob ert Lujan, 21, was stabbed as he walked past an administrative segre gation cell while returning from tak ing a shower at the Clemmens Unit near Brazoria. Brown said a suspect reached through the bars of his cell with a 4-inch sharpened metal shank and stabbed Lujan in the stomach and cut him on the chest. Lujan, who is serving a 10-year sentence for assault and burglary from El Paso County, was in stable condition Tuesday at the TDC hos pital in Galveston, Brown said. At 1:15 p.m. Tuesday, inmate Rickey Goodwin, 21, was stabbed as he walked past the same cell. Brown said the same inmate is a suspect in both stabbings. A second inmate was in the cell for the second stabbing and Brown said he also is considered a suspect. There have been no charges filed.
