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.
