All skiers who are interested in

will be given an opportunity to-
morrow to look over the downhill
course, it is announced by Ski Club

If weather conditions are favor
able, an approximate course will be
set up over which racers may make
trial runs. If snow conditions are
not good, skiers at least will be
given an opportunity to look over
the proposed course.
The present outlook for tomor-

tions will prevail at the second
meadow on the Douglas Island Ski
Trail, but that skiing in the upper
bowl will be hampered by heavy,
wet snow.
