CHICAGO, January 30.-A whole
generation of ski-conscious young
Americans are streaming out Of VIM
ter-bound cities into the snowy hills
In . trek that Is obviously the van
guard Of the march of Q new national
sport across the United States.
For . number Of years q constantly
growing handful of sportsmen have
pioneered in the snow fields Of New
England and the Yosemite Valley.
This Winter, thanks to the scouting
out of proper ski terrain by a famous
young Austrian ski master, enthusiasts
can enjoy q ski center that rivals. If 1t
does not overshadow, the world
renowned Winter sports resorts Of the
Alps.
This ski center is the great snow
fields of the Pacific Northwest. Here
lies spectacular Sun Valley, q natural
sun.bowl backed by the sharp ribbed
SUBMITS of the Sawtooth Range. Sun
Valley Is near Ketehum, Idaho, town
of $50 souls some 1s0 miles northeast
of the capital, Boise, and reached from
the Eastern Seaboard in less than .
day by plane and bus.

At Sun Valley q 3,000-foot ski tow
with q vertical ascent of more than
800 feet lifts the skier in specially
constructed chair at a rate Of 400 feet
per minute! There he can take Oh on
remarkable down hill runs glistening
with powder snow. One racing course
drops 1000 feet in less than three
miles.
Trails of crystal adventure criss-
cross the lower slopes Of the range.

the luxurious features Of the fashion,

The Pacific Coast offers almost un-
limited possibilities for the ski run

from Seattle by open highway, has
runs offering 1000 feet Of vertical de-
scent. Nearer Seattle is Snoqualmie
Pass with an altitude Of 5000 feet.
