ICE GAP OFFERS
 BEST SUMNER SKI
 SLOPES IN WORLD

Dean Williams, local ski enthusi- ast, told today of slopes, easily accessible from the Juneau area which are the Test summer ski slopes in the world"
 Speaking before the Chamber oi Commerce at it's noon meeting in the Gold Room of the Baranof Ho- tel, he said the snowfields on the ice cap behind Juneau would make Sun Valley hills look like beginners practice slopes.
 Although he was not able to in- spect all the likely places, he said he found potential ski runs which would offer, even in the warmest summer months, mile-long runs with 1500-foot drop in altitude.
 Williams appeared at the meet ing with Tony Thomas, Forest Ser vice draftsman and well known To- cal mountaineer. They crossed the ice-cap together during the sum mer.
 WITH JIR.P.
 They made the trip as members of the Juneau Ice Research Party.
 Williams, a Pan American Air ways traffic representative, said Juan Tripp, president of the air lines, is interested in an area with lodge facilities for at least 15G people.
 But Williams put the Gamper on hopes for such a ski area devel- opment on the ice cap in the near future. He said that, although the area was readily accessible by air. craft, which could land on the miles of table-flat ice and snow, it is a hard grind over 4200-foot pass to approach it on foot.
 He said the area will probably be developed gradually through use by ardent ski-mountaineers.
 In crossing the ice cap, the men made the first trip from the Can adian border to Glacier Highway over the frozen area.
 At the meeting today, Chamber members saw color-slides taken on the journey.
 Thomas described the trip as the slides were shown, and he told of the trek from Twin Glacier Lake over a 4200-foot pass onto the ice cap; as well as the 40-mile, four day trip across the ice cap.
