Wednesday, February 17, 1960 NEVADA COUNTY CITIZEN p by maggi IMPRESSIONS OF SQUAW VALLEY ON a Rainy Sunday.Traveled to Squaw Valley tosee what was going on. Of course we picked the day of the BIG RAIN Seems like they ought to have called those Indians back, and get the water works turned off.and get those rain-drops turned into goose pickings again. NEVER, simply never, have we ever seen somuchrain.it came down by the bucketfuls. We went to go to the opening services of the new and beautiful Protestant church, but we simply could not wade through all the water. We were boot-top high almost all the way.and if you happened to stop on what looked like good solid snow, well! .You had the biggest surprise of your life , forthe snow wasn't snow at all, but sort of a white superimposed stuff over a good sized lake, and there you stood, knee deep in water and slush. All skiing had stopped by the time we got there.the servicemen who were packing the skiruns were out of business -.andas forthe contestants, they were wandering around, and we know they were thinking."What manner of a place is this for an Olympic Games contest? " The Inn and Lodge were filled with spectators, all wringing wet.some dressed for street, some dressed for snow .but none for rain.The majority of the visitors there did not seem the type that would ski, but merely curiosity seekers, andarude bunchat that. There was a good deal of eating and drinking going on.no wonder, you couldn't do anything else, and the buses were not leaving until late. WE WENT OVER TO the ice arena, and while there took pictures and watched the guys and gals practice their competition patterns.andtosay they were wonderful, is just not saying enough, they were spectacular.There was. one c Ouple, dressed alike in matching sweaters and skirt and slacks.they were perfection. HOWEVER.BUT.ETC. we did no— tice that there were a few leaks, and the wind tore through like a hurricane at times. Youcan sit on the 'reserved' side of the arenaand seethe ski run, but only in that place can you possibly see what is going on.frankly, we were not impressed. THERE ARE a lot of people working up there, andthere is a lot of ‘looking' going on, but NOT on a rainy day! As we sloshed around, we couldn't help but wonder what we built the darned thing for. .BUT---of course, the weather will be perfect for next winter. IT WAS AN EXPERIENCE, especially to hear some of the comments about the American people from two beautiful Scandinavian contestants, especially about the prices and quality of garments that are for sale in the ski shops there, in fact we heard that they were “cheap looking, priced unreasonably high. and certainly tne stuff you could buy in their country was better all around," and we will go along with that all the way. It was a nice excursion, but not one that we would care tomake on a rainy day again. But we will be going up during the games and will let you know what we saw, and did, and thought.
