Parts Of Call
For Travel and Adventure
By Edward H. Sims
This is the time of year
when sportsmen begin to
think of skiing and without
much doubt this is a coming
sport in the Unity! States.
Should you ski? Are artifi
cial-snow ski resorts which
are popping up in some more
southerly areas good enough
for the genuine snow skier?
Is it best to go to the more
northerly and higher resort
areas, where there is likely to
be ample snow? These are
some of the questions the
beginner might ask. The an
swers are not too difficult.
First, anyone can learn to
ski who is in reasonably good
physical condition -and age is
not a bar. at least up to the
sixties. The legs are of pri
mary importance. If you are
older than Ulirty or if you
have not been athletic, or are
a "city slicker" begin to exer
cise your legs at least three
weeks before skiing.
A good way to do it is to
practice knee-bends, with
your hands out-stretched.
After you get to the stage
where you can do fifty easily,
then begin to go down on one
leg, rather then two. When
you can lower your body to
your heel or thereabout and
lift again, with one leg. you're
in condition.
Balance is another primary
factor. You'll need to remem
ber that your knees will be
bent most of the time when
skiing and that your arms will
help you balance (with
poles), so if you strengthen
legs and knees and balance
you'll be on the slopes sooner
at the ski resort.
There is a new material
being used this year by the
artificial snow makers which
seems to have much promise
but we'll wait a year to see
how it proves out in use.
Some who have experimented
with it in New Hampshire
give it high marks.
But, in general, if you art'
learning, go where the snow
is. For skiers who already
have learned, artificial snow
or artificial surfaces might
sometimes suffice. But with
artificial snow you miss those
wide slopes, and you can
never veer off on your own,
on seldom-used trails, and
descend into a valley as a
trail-blazer.
The best skiing is not
necessarily in Europe but the
best organized skiing on a
large scale is still to be found
in the Alps. And it is surpri
singly inexpensive to ski two
or three weeks there-for
Americans that is.
The best method to avoid
accidents is to enroll in ski
clasp s at the beginning of
vour v inter holiday and one
shouldn't venture out on the
slopes from these classes,
until the instructor says it's
safe. Ninety per cent of skiing
injuries could be avoided and
are caused by victims' trying
to <lo difficult things before
read\ ,md trying to ski fast
er, perhaps over difficult
courses, than they should be
trying .it their stage of learn
ing and skill.
A little advertising can sell
a few goods and a lot of it
can st 'i a lot ?>f goods.
Most men judge their
tellow-man b\ the way he
aff?-pt ' them and their ideas.
