A temporary in- stallation was finished in time to enjoy several rides up a hill offer- ing excellent practice on spring snow. The gradient of the| slope was approximately 30 degrees | which offered considerable speed and unusually good conditions for high speed turns. The group working on the ski lift consisted of Ed Larson, Earl| Nerue, Dan Bates, Ed Dick and| Dean Williams. With ample snow | in the entire ski bowl, it will be| possible to use the “up hill” ar- rangement until the latter part of May. This practice should do much to increase skiing ability for <kiers' using this conveyance. The Ski Club program for the ensuing week will consist of a luncheon on Thursday, a group breakfast on Sunday morning be- |fore the skiers proceed up the ski trail to stage the Behrends Trophy | races.
