COMMUNICATION

TO THE EDITOR OF THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, Juneau Dec. 9.-Last Saturday night my self and two other skiers went up to the upper cabin in the bowl of the Douglas ski trail. We noticed that the trail was in excellent con- dition for skiing and eagerly an- ticipated skiing down the next day. However, the following morning several people walked up the trail without skis and with each step they sank about a foot in the snow, putting large holes in the trail which made skiing very dif- ficult and took much of tn e pleasure out of the trip.
 Why is it that people have to walk on a SKI trail, and spoil it for skiing when there are several ether trails nearby for the purpose of hiking? In my opinion it is very inconSiderate and would like to ask them to refrain from doing so in the future. If the peo- pie want to go up the ski trail let them wear skis or snowshoes-- it is much easier walking and I am sure they would enjoy it more.
 I would appreciate it very much 
 if you would print this in your paper and I am sure that other skiers would also.
 {Signed) A SKIER.
