Laurentian Mountains line of the

average, join their Canadian COM

The place is we'll equipped to ham
die them. There is room and sport,
not only for such crowds, but for
far bigger ones. There are more
than hundred miles of trails,
radiating in all directions. There
are many hills besides the three more
famous ones-Hill 70, Hill SO and
Fosters Hill-and good accommoda-
ton is available for those who want
to spend the full week end on the
spot. It is not luxurious accommo-

lines and restaurants and rest rooms
nestled at the foot of the slopes.
There is skiing for the expert and
for the beginner, and the train stops
just 100 yards from the foot of the
first big hill.
