UCCESSES ISKI TECHNIQUE of articles on skiing Coomara, ski profes: many years standing.) ! At ski resorts teday constant referenec; to ski and ski instruction. And wilderness, oldtimers read such things and mutter to them- |selves that no one had to be taught how to ski when they were |a boy, people just naturally knew 0 make it still more puzzling s the Alaskan who made 100 miles in one day on skis, and there jare also Alaskans who have skied for many years who still could not descend a winding trail at an |speed without either frequent stops jor else equally frequent falls. It means this—that anyone can 'put on and travel on them in a fairly raight line, and with practice, ride them down a steep slope without a fall. But it does not come mnaturally for people to use their skis as they would a pair of skates, and swing sharply at high speed from side to side. It has taken many years for many skiers to evolve the simple fundamentals of controlled downhill skiing, And so while the ability to travel great distance cross-country on skis de- pends largely on the ambition and endurance of the skier, the ability to ski under control down steep mountains is something that has to be learned, usually from some other skier who has already mastered the technique. Quite naturally, in large winter sports resorts, there has arisen a group of men who spec- ialize in teaching downhill tech- nique to those who wish to learn it. Is Not Difficult Skiing is not difficult it would not have become world’s leading winter sport in the last ten years, and America’s lead- ing winter sport in the last two or you hear schools in the about if it were, the 11 three years. Skiing has more var- iety than any sport there is.

Going Down Hill Now, while sliding slowly down- hill, try eeping your feet gether. If you will pick up first one foot, then the other, while you are moving, you will quickly find it easy to ride with more weight on one ski than the other, and then it is easy to keep the un- weighted ski close to the one you have the most of your weight on. If you want to fall to stop, fall ideways and backward. Never fall straight back, as you might break an ankle, and try to avold falling forward, for obvious reasons. It is no disgrace to fall, every skier does, including Olympic and F. I. S. champions. Only, never fall until | you have to, because while half the art of skiing is in having your weight well forward, the other half is simply the WILL to stand up. — e EXPORTS DOWN THOUGH G 01D OUTPUT GREATER Reflected in Monthly just like the knee action on a car.| to- | l U.

When you slide down your first hill, pick a gentle one with an easy run-out. Don't try to turn, the first few slides, but just get used to the feeling of moving down the hill. Bend your knees and your ankles all you can, so that you are leaning well forward. Do NOT let your tail-surfaces stick out behind you, as if you do, the first good bump will set you on them. Most beginners do this because they are trying to lean forward as they have been advised, and at the same time their instincts are still trying to make them lean back- wards, so they compromise, and push their head way out in front gnd squat, with the result that their balance is about where it would have been if they just stood up straight. Easy Way to Learn There is an easy way to find out how to stand on skis for downhill running. Put your back against a wall—any wall will do. You must touch the heels. Now begin to bend the knees, but keeping the heels touching the wall and flat upon the floor. Do NOT come up on the toes. Bend until you feel about to fall forward. That is your correct downhill position. When your skis are pointed down hill you will tip forward more with them, so that you remain always at about right-angles, or perpen- dicular, to the slope you are de- scending. If skiers spent more time prac- ticing this position, they would not have to spend so many hours prac- ticing turns, bécause all turns on 000,000 pounds of butter during the fiscal year, skis are quite easy, .and need but little muscular éffort, IF the skier's, 244,005 | 14972 24,920 Lead Tin 8.7 specimens, curi- ete 12,629 SALES Every Month in the Year AUCTION SALES DATES Taku Lodge, raining, 33; Tulsequah, raining, 33; Atlin, cloudy; Cape St. Elias, cloudy, 42; Cape Hinchinbrook, cloudy, 40; Cordova, rain- ing, 34; Chitina, cloudy, 10; McCarthy, cloudy, 10; Seward, cloudy, Anchorage, cloudy, 24; Fairbanks, cloudy, 0; Hot Springs, cloudy, Tanana, cloudy Nulato, cloudy, 10; Ruby, cloudy, 10; Flat, clear, 0; Stuyahok, clear, 10; Bethel, cloudy, 12; Nome, clear, 13; Solo- mon, clear, 12; Golovin, part cloudy, 9; Council, clear, 12; Gambelil snowing, 6.

WEATHER SYNOPSIS Barometric pressure continued low this morning throughout Alas- ka, northwestern Canada, and over the northeastern portion of the north Pacific Ocean. A storm area was centered over the Gulf of Alaska with the lowest reported pressure 28.90 inches, at Kodiak. High barometric pressure prevailed over the West Coast states and over southern British Columbia. This general pressure distribution has been attended by precipitation along the coastal regions from the Aleu- tian Islands southeast d to Oregon, and by partly cloudy to cloudy weather over interior and western Alaska. Temperatures continued above the seasonal average over the interior and eastern portions of Alaska this morning. | MRS, JACK FOWLER Reindeer hides Paintings rries 9 i gi?fifi?um 1,628 NEW meEIOR OF ‘ Total value of |)r;3d;;cLs: oi ‘ "EED[E(RAFI SHOP Alaska : 1,295,887 Value of United States pro- s N . o | After sixteen years in business in Gge T L7 273'132‘11115 city, Mrs. Ardelle Cleveland 14 | has turned over a successful, and 1,569,019 well established trade to Mrs. Jack 3’864.654 Fowler, well known Juneau woman.
