To early to get back into SKI..no snow<g> PARK CITY RESORT STRUGGLES TO COVER RUNS The Associated Press 11/11/99 4:06 PM Eastern SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- Unless Utah's unseasonably warm autumn weather abates, Park City Mountain Resort probably will lose next week's scheduled World Cup ski races to Colorado. If Park City's snowmaking efforts fail, Copper Mountain, one of the highest ski areas in North America, has been asked to stage the men's and women's slalom and giant slalom events Nov. 18-21. "Copper has the capability to do it right now," resort spokesman Ben Friedland said. At 9,700 feet above sea level, Copper Mountain's base is 2,800 feet higher than the finish line at Park City Mountain Resort. Other alternate sites include Beaver Creek, Breckenridge, Loveland and Keystone. "We are doing everything in our power to keep the race in Park City," U.S. Ski Team spokesman Tom Kelly said. "At this point, however, it does not look good." The Colorado resort hasn't received much natural snow, but cool temperatures and new snowmaking machines have enabled Copper Mountain to coat two runs with artificial snow, Friedland said. The United States and three other women's national teams have been training at Copper Mountain, which has not opened to the public. A decision about whether to move the event is expected Friday. Utah's unseasonably warm weather is expected to continue into next week, with "zippo" precipitation in sight, according to weather forecaster David Hogan. "There's not much change through Sunday," Hogan said. "By Monday it will be a little warmer (in Park City), around 65, nighttime lows into the 20s. I apologize for Mother Nature." Optimal temperatures for snowmaking are in the teens. Park City Mountain Resort's snowmaking hoses blew about two hours overnight Tuesday, said resort spokeswoman Melissa O'Brien, as the resort continues to prepare for the races. While man-made snow is scattered on the resort's racing runs, the finish area is a muddy bog. Resort officials said it would be impractical to move the finish area higher up the mountain, where machine-made snow tends to remain frozen. "It would mean moving vehicles, stands and fencing through what is now mud," O'Brien said. "It's not really an option." Instead, resort personnel are concentrating snowmaking efforts on the giant slalom course, which could also serve the shorter slalom event.
