? The Bend Bulletin. Monday. February 21, 1955 Additional Sports Skiing Reported Nations Fastest Growing Sport By WAYNE RUSSELL irnlted Press staff Correspondent STOWE, Vt. (UP) Base- Ball is America's most popular spectator sport and fishing is our principal participant sport. But no sport, spectator or participant, is growing faster than sking. The hickory - riding snowbirds are flocking in constantly increas ing numbers to every northern mountain that has o rope - tow, T-bar or chair-lift on its slopes. Each Friday evening during the winter thousands of skiers rush out of the cities to the snow-cov ered hills, to spend a week end happily stemming, sehussing, or chnslying their way down the trails and slopes. Even the air-lines are now run ning "air-lifts to the chair-lifts" at bargain rates. It has been es timated that there are now 3,000, 000 American skiers. And they're by no means all youngsters. Stowe Wakes Up Hotels in Canada's Laurentian Mountains that once closed for the winter are now filled to capacity during January, February, and March as .more and more skiers, having sampled the joys of soar ing on the snowy slopes, relin quish their summer - time vaca tions to take winter holidays. Ski ing is now a compulsory subject in most French - Canadian Lau rentian schools: And there are towns whose en tire economy is based on the ski dollar. One of these is Stowe. Twenty years ago StoweNwas a sleepy New England village where city folks in the winter were as rare as sleds in Miami. Snow was cordially detested. Then the first ski-trail was built on Mt. Mansfield, Vermont's high est peak, eight miles from Stowe. Since then the ski facilities have been enlarged each year, and Mansfield's dozens of downhill slopes and trails are now served hy, two chair-lifts, two T-bar lifts anil half a dozen assorted rope tows. It's Easier Now Lodges and motels, all catering to the skiers, have sprung up in such numbers that the town is faced with the problem of inade quate water and electricity.' Now nothing makes a native of Stowe happier than a fresh fail of pow der snow. Why this snow-rush? Well, in the opinion of Larry Ileyer, who has operated Ski Inn, one of Stowe's more popular lodges for the past 14 years, the reason is mainly that skiing is becoming easier to learn. Modern skiis are laminated and therefore more flexible than ever before. A flexible ski is an easily maneuvered ski. Modern boots and bindings which fasten the ski rigidly to the foot make the skiis easier for the beginner to handle, yet will release short of the bone- breaking point when sufficient stress is imposed, if the tyro falls.
