Obituaries Cy Says CY BARRETT DEAR CY: We are going to start renting rooms to sklers which, Joe and I understand, are a strange, odd lot. Snow covers the mountains and valley where our closed hotel now rests. Although our hotel is located near three going ski slopes, we have never been open in the we intend to soon. I am writing for information on what to include in newspaper want ads which would be run in papers within a 200-mile radius.

We. aren't too excited about this business of renting rooms to skiers, but will give it a trial. We both think it will really be trying. MRS. J.

AND JOE DEAR MRS. AND JOE: Skiers aren't a lot different from normal human beings. It's just that, after sliding around in the snow all day, they like to stay up late and drink wine. What better way to match the color of one's emotions to the rosiness of cheeks? You'll find skiers want the same information in want ads about lodging that other hotel guests do. Your ads should include rental room terms, furnishings, number of rooms plus bar and dining facilities.

Also location. Skiers, incidentally, appreciate a courteous, pleasing telephone voice when placing their reservations. Upon arrival they look for smiles and enthusiasm from their host. If you have this thing about skiers, make Joe up the mountain a few times go land come down on skis. Then you can.
