NATIONAL PARK OFFERS
MANY WINTER SPORTS
Supt. Wade Says Program Has Re-
suited in Inducing Large Num-
ber to Make Visit.
Hotel Conveniently Located for
Tourist, He Says, and Even Golf
Can Be Played.

A program of winter sports is the
method to develop interest in the
Rocky Mountain National Park under
ent of the park. He is pioneer in this
See America First" idea. and it is now
being extended. under his influence and
suggestion. to other national parks.
For a number of winters Supt. Way
has promoted this project. and it has
resulted in a large number of visitors
induced by the prospect of good sport.
Railroads entering Denver have made
the matter part of their advertising
propaganda.
There is. of course, good skating on
the lakes and ponds. Then with
snowfall of four or five feet on the
levels and twenty-five feet in the gull
leys and ravines for many months.
there is snowshoeing and skating, to-
bogganing and sleighing. Also. the golf
links of the park are so situated that
the fall of snow is quickly swept away
by the winds. leaving the course clear
practically all through the year.
Change in Panorama.
Besides. winter time brings a new
panorama. The face of nature in
the park has undergone a metamor-
phosis under it's dress of snow and
only the evergreens in leaf. There are
frozen waterfalls-the marvellous touch
of the hand of Jack Frost seemingly
having gripped the flowing water at
its actual descent and changed 1T into
curtain of ice.
The country abounds in life, although
no gunners. cunning or guns are per-
mitted in the park. There are deer
and bears. as well as smaller game.
Snowshoeing is regarded by Supt.
fatiguing. He tells of his wife put
ting on snow shoes for the first time
under the belief that she was to go
only mile or SO. and having made
hve miles without tiring, much to her
surprise, when informed of the dis
tance she had made. One does not
properly walk in snowshoes with legs
far apart. he states-ridiculing a COM
mon fault of the beginner: the shoes
are so constructed that the wide part
forward. with an ordinary walking
step. lifts over the other without ef-
fort.
The ski course laid off by supt Wade
offers seventy-degree grade for many
AFFORD opportunity for the usual stunts
OF high and long jumping on skis
Neither Switzerland nor Canada, he
avers. orer greater opportunity and
location for the pursuit of this splendid
sport. The toboggan course is similarly
attractive.
"Roughing it de luxe" Supt Way
described the accommodations for
sporting parties. Fern Lodge is right
in the. midst of the country where the
opportunities for winter sport are best
and the loveliness of the park most
manifest. Here 1t is possible to house
sixty people over night. the men in one
room, the women in the other, sleeping
on mattresses or automobile cushions
laid on the floor.
