dom has chance. Skiers all over the
West. however, are still talking of
the miraculous escape of the boy who
was dug out by Atwater and Sverre
Engen, the ski jumper, last year.
Eight hours after he had been bur-
led. they found him unconscious, bat
tered and broken. But their knowl-

to find him in time and he lived.
Atwater and his wife. Alice, live
in a small wooden cabin in the
