The crew is enlarging the hill by | extending the area nearly two hun- | dred feet upwards on the hill and |is widening it by the removal of | several trees on the right side. The | most important work, however, isj | filling the depressions in the ter- rain which' last year resulted in an | uneven snow surface. | When the hill is completed it will | be the outstanding slalom course |in Alaska and will have a vertical |descent of 300 feet. The hill is nearly 1,000 feet long. In no other place in Alaska or the United States is such good skiing so close to a city the size of Juneau. The area offers any variation of slope, from 5 to 40 degrees, and is adapted for the beginnner as well as the ardent veteran. 1 - Norlitemen Enjoy Turkey Dinner A turkey dinner, prepared by mem- | bers of the Martha Society, marked the Norlitemen gathering last eve- ning in the parlors of the Northern] Light Presbyterian Church, which | was well attended by men of the community.
