over the Vaninno pass where the weather was far more pleasant. The ski off the peak was in the best snow of the week, in fact it was so good that Paddy Orr, John Rigby, myself and Adolf decided to set off back up the hill to enjoy the snow further. We climbed for over an hour before traversing across to a virgin snow slope where we enjoyed a wild descent through the delicious spring powder - marvellous. We then followed the rest of the group back to the Vaninno hut for our last night in the mountains. The proprietors of the hut, our hosts for the last three nights, excelled themselves with the culinary delights that evening and we were treated to a five course meal rounded off with liqueurs and chocolates. Friday morning was a relaxed affair with a late start preceded by the inevitable group photo complete with hairy white mountain dog. I for one was sad to be leaving the mountains since I had really begun to enjoy the delights of ski touring, despite the slightly masochistic motivation needed for the ascents. As we left the hut we were lucky enough to catch sight of a lone chamois high on the crag, as it confidently manoeuvred along the spine of a high ridge, superior in its native environment. The climb out of the Nefelgin pass was not too arduous and the long ski-out on excellent spring snow was a fitting end to an outstanding week. Adolf, it was unanimously agreed, had once again excelled himself in providing excellent sport which had challenged everyone in the group. As a new comer I found it hugely enjoyable, not least because of the camaraderie of the DHO members, and I will definitely be back to enjoy the delights of ski-touring next year.

far. After a period of relaxation Adolf invited me to join him to cut a track, in the soft snow, up tot he Vaninno pass to make our progress easier the following morning. This was typical of Adolf's thoughtfulness in trying to make the trip as enjoyable as possible for everyone. We made good time, despite my slight tiredness from the earlier climb, and had the pleasure of an exhilarating final non-stop descent in good snow back to the hut. A shower, cocktails and a delicious three course meal in the presence of such good company were never more welcome than that evening. The weather was slightly overcast on Thursday but considerably warmer and we set out at 7.00am to climb Pso del Vaninno and Pta d'Arbola (Ofenhorn) arriving at the summit at 2.00pm in perfect conditions. The views were so impressive that I was inspired to compose a poem to write in the visitors book that can be found in a sealed tube at the base of the wooden cross which marks the summit.

SHUTOUT AT SUNDANCE by Laurie Palmer One of the advantages of overseas business travel is that one can occasionally mix a little pleasure with the work. A knowledge of airline timetables, a bit of creative routing and an accommodating travel agent also helps. So there I was in Wichita, Kansas leaving the Cessna Aircraft facility after lunch one Friday in March with my next appointment in Chicago on the Sunday evening. The obvious solution was to spend Friday and Saturday night in Salt Lake City, which is the most skier-friendly destination that I know in the USA, and possibly anywhere in the world. From landing at the small but highly efficient International Airport, you can be skiing some of the best snow in creation in less than one hour; there is not just one resort, Park City, Alta, Snowbird, Solitude etc are all within a 40 mile radius of the city. Ski equipment can even be rented at a store conveniently placed next to the baggage carousel in the airport arrival area. On a previous business trip I had tried out Park City, so this time I thought I'd give Sundance a try. Maybe it was the name or the memories of Butch and the Kid, but then like all other Ski Club Reps, deep down I'm an old romantic. Saturday morning, outside the airport Holiday Inn, the sky was clear and bright with a temperature of 28°F. Salt Lake City was showing off its unparalleled vista of snowcapped mountains - just the thing to get the adrenalin pumping as you head south on Route 15 towards Provo and the north canyon. En route you pass the signs for Snowbird and Alta, as well as the obligatory oases of McDonalds, Dennys, Burger King and the like. There is even time for a quick breakfast stop without harming the schedule. At Orem you turn left off the highway into the mountains. The route continues through some spectacular scenery with an excellent viewpoint for the Bridal Veil falls. Right on schedule, at nine o'clock I pulled into the parking lot at Sundance to meet the first problem of the day - Sundance limits the number of tickets it sells on weekends to 1200 and it was already sold out. Vacationers staying at the resort and locals have priority, and the latter can reserve and pick up vouchers in Salt Lake City at the same outlets that offer sports and theatre bookings. The parking attendant initially recommended I try somewhere else

such as Park City and wished me the automatic 'Have a nice day' but on hearing my accent and the fact that I had come all the way from jolly old England he relented and let me in, unofficially. I didn't need to revert to my next ploy which was, to point out that as I had seen all of Robert Redford's films at least twice, I had already contributed to the finances of the resort. Redford, a keen and competent skier, had built a ranch in this remote valley many years ago and had always dreamed of designing and building an exclusive ski area. Although no longer the outright owner he is still involved in the resort which also hosts an international film festival each summer and he still has the ranch and extensive property interests. A surprisingly small cluster of buildings close to the parking lot, housed the ski school, ticket office, and equipment rental shop and with the help of a colourful UK Visa card (always guaranteed to create interest at overseas locations) I was kitted out with a day pass at $32 - about average for Utah - a pair of demonstrator K2 SLC, also around $30 for the day. The resort apartments, cottages and indeed Redford's chateau-styled ranch house are all discreetly hidden in the pinewoods and you really feel you are in a wilderness area. A single four man chair, Ray's lift, serves the front mountain with two intermediate stops. The third stop gives access to the back mountain which has a double chair called Arrowhead and a triple chair named Flathead. The front is better for intermediates with some wide treelined trails but the occasional steep mogulled gulley. The back mountain has more blacks including Bishop's Bowl a long, tricky mogul field. The cowboy image is enchanced by the trails named Badlands and Grizzly Bowl, more death defying gulleys like Hawkeye and Quick Draw, all excellently marked, which I have always found to be the case in the US. At the top of Arrowhead there is a cosy little refuge called Bearclaw Cabin with brownies for $2 or Buffalo Wings for $5.50. Back at the car park area, at lunch time an open air barbecue was serving hot dogs and hamburgers for $4 and the smell of the wood fire and the cooking was too much to resist. Not for the first time I remarked on the relatively low cost of eating out in the States even at a resort with a captive clientele. From the mountain top restaurant

Page 48

there is a marvellous view of the town of Provo and Utah Lake. At least half of the younger skiiers were students at BYU, Brigham Young University in Provo, a mere twenty minute drive from Sundance. Why didn't someone tell me when I was eighteen that I could be at a University that close to good skiing? I might even have considered becoming a Mormon, which incidentally isn't a pre-requisite for BYU! I have to admit, however, that when I started skiing at Glenshee it was only forty five minutes from my own studies at St Andrew's University, but there is something lacking in the comparison. Another feature of American resorts is the singles line which mops up stray skiiers and ensures that otherwise empty chairs are not wasted. It also gives you the opportunity to make friends with other skiiers who are always keen to chat with anyone and everyone, especially foreigners. Apart from the locals who obviously managed a lot of skiing, the visitors from Chicago, Dallas or LA usually only came for a week or perhaps as little as a long weekend each winter. One reason being that most of them only get two weeks vacation a year. I'm only too conscious of this, working for a large US corporation. My colleagues at head office are amazed that we get five weeks in the UK, and even more amazed that I can spend three weeks at one go, repping for the SCGB. The main trails were well pisted with neither rocks nor ice to be seen. The last powder fall of about ten inches had been earlier in the week so there were still some patches to be found, but unfortunately the area known as Far East, similar to what we would call off-piste was closed. The Sundance area is small by European standards, but by 4.30 when the lift is closed I was ready to stop, having done all of the trails at least once. The overall impression was that the resort was well worth a visit if you were in the area and could combine it with visits to some of the other, larger centres. My thoughts were turning to a nice swim back at the hotel, a few beers and a large steak as I pulled out of the parking lot. Realising that I was not wearing my watch I thought that perhaps I had dropped it on the ground as I has stripped off my ski suit next to the car. Pulling on the parking brake, I leapt out to have a look. Not many people know this, but when you put an American car into drive and move off it has a security feature which locks all the doors highly desirable in downton Miami or Harlem but hardly necessary in Sundance Utah. The

same high-tech system locks all the doors if you leave the car in drive, get out of the car and allow the door to close. So there I was, in the middle of the car park, outside the car, engine running and all the doors locked. To make matters worse I had changed into a thin sports shirt suitable for the nicely heated car but entirely unsuitable for outdoors now that the sun was setting. Clothes, money, passport, airline ticket, hotel key all were safely locked in the car. As a frequent visitor to the US, and a practising non-conformist, I often find their regimentation, their airline announcements, their legal waivers etc infuriating, but I couldn't fault the efficiency and organisation that was available to help the hapless visitor. From the ticket office, Joe the resort maintenance man was summoned by walkietalkie. In a few mintues he arrived by pickup truck armed with his 'Slim Jim' a tool which went down between the car window rubber and the glass and could normally attack the various internal levers and open the door. Unfortunately this latest design of security system defeated even 'Slim Jim' so we retired to Joe's warm workshop to think. I was discouraged by Joe from breaking the car window and a phone call to the car rental company was less than helpful, with their only suggestion to call a locksmith. After warming up we returned to the car for another try and Joe noticed a sticker on the car windown bearing a toll free advice number 1-800-DIAL-CHEVY Back in the workshop I was soon on first name terms with Chuck at Chevrolet in Michigan and he pointed out that as long as I could get him the vehicle ID and its mileage he could get hold of the local Chewy dealer. After a quick jog back to the car to get the details I was soon in a three way discussion with Chuck in Michigan and Earl in Provo. As the mileage was below the critical 36,000 and the vehicle ID seemed to be valid, Chevrolet would pay and Earl was soon on his way. It seemed that this problem was quite common but people usually only made the mistake once! During the half hour wait Joe and I chatted about the resort and Mr Redford. The film festival, seminars, weddings and an outdoor repertory theatre, mean that the resort is actually busier in summer than winter. Joe was having trouble with some new computer software to log his vehicle fleet repairs and equipment maintenance so we played for a while with the Sundance network and got the program functioning. Soon Earl

Page 49

arrived in his pickup, with an even more complex set of 'Slim Jims' and in a few minutes the car was open. Both Earl and Joe were teetotal and declined the offers of drinks so just after six, hardly more than an hour since my problem had started, I was driving out of the now deserted parking lot back to Salt Lake City. As I returned to the highway and approached Orem again I noticed the familiar outline of a

blast furnace and the chimneys and smoke of a large steelplant called Geneva Steel. My company supplies metallugical testing equipment to foundries and steelworks so I made a quick mental note to call or write. Maybe next year I won't need any innovative routing, I can have a real business excuse to be in Salt Lake City. PS. My watch was on the back seat all the time.

BRITISH SCHOOLGIRLS' RACES 1997 FLAINE, FRANCE The Schoolgirls' Races are a very popular annual event organised by the Ladies Ski Club. They are the only team event on the British Racing Calendar apart from those organised by the Services. Well before Christmas 1996 the entry list for the 1997 races was full to capacity with 38 teams and 120 girls entered. Late applicants had to be disappointed but assured us they would be quicker off the mark next year. We were very sorry to hear that two schools who regularly attend, St Anne's, Windermere, and Benenden, were unable to come this year due to their skiers being busy with vital exams. This was particularly sad in the case of St Anne's as their most prominent Granny, and chief supporter, is none other than Sheila Hensman. As a former President of the LSC, she has been present on many occasions and, indeed, even kept gates as recently as two years ago. With Gill Head's encouragement, St Edward's Oxford made enquiries and sent two teams together with many supporting parents and families. Imagine their delight, therefore, when their first team won the prize for the best British-based school with no registered racers. That will all change next year, though, when they hope to have Katrina Head, one of the DHO's best young racers, in their team. Also there for the first time were St George's Ascot, Combe Bank School, Chingford School and the newly established British Ski Academy from Chamonix. We were happy to welcome back contenders from Surbiton High School, led by DHO member Chemmy Alcott, Becket School from Nottingham who have always distinguished themselves, Susannah Shute with the Haberdashers School from Monmouth and the three Hedley-Lewis girls from Queenswood. The DHO entered two teams, the Kandahar had one team and there was a BARSC team consisting of a mix of DHO and Kandahar members - that's co-operation for you! Aiglon College came from Villars as usual and other schools from Britain included Wycombe Abbey, the Dragon (Oxford), St Leonard's (Scotland), Heathfield, Badminton, Cheltenham Ladies, St Helen's and St Katherine's, St Mary's

Wantage and St Leonard's Mayfield. There were also teams from some of the dry slope clubs including Sandown (made up mostly of DHO members) and the Snow Club. Diana Lees-Jones was Chief of Championships, Maud Instone was Chief of Race and Sarah Robinson was Race Secretary. The hardworking Ladies' Ski Club members filled most of the other roles although there were a few men on hand to keep the Ladies in order! Jim Hewitt, Chairman of BARSC, sorted out the coach transfers and kept the gatekeepers fed and watered on the hill and Tony Pearson did all the calculations. The racers all arrived on Saturday 25th January and spent Sunday in training groups with ESF instructors. The ESF in Flaine are very helpful and supportive of the races. The giant slalom was held on the Monday and the slalom on the Tuesday. Sadly the parallel slalom on Monday had to be abandoned after a very nasty accident to Chemmy Alcott. We are delighted to report that no serious injury was sustained and she was back skiing a few weeks later. We were particularly fortunate to have Sophie and James Ormond, who both competed for Britain in the World Championships, as our openers and their mother, Annabel, did a splendid job as commentator. It was wonderful for the girls to see Sophie ski and she even found time to show some teams the courses and give advice to nervous first-timers. There are other British youngsters who raced this year and show promise of being world class in spite of the disadvantages of living in the UK. The Ladies' Ski Club continues to encourage them and take pleasure in their future success. They also hope to continue introducing more girls to racing through the British Schoolgirls' Races. The races are sponsored, with money or prizes, by Lillywhites, Snow & Rock, Nick Escourt, SCGB, Ladies Ski Club, Kandahar and, of course, the DHO. We are grateful to all our sponsors who help to keep the cost of the trip as low as possible. Last year it was £385 (flights UK to Geneva, coach transfer to Flaine, 4 nights half board, lift pass, insurance and Sunday training) plus race entry fees of £35.

1998 Races The 40th British Schoolgirls' Races will be held on 26/27 January 1998 in Flaine, France. They will be run under the same format with group travel from London and Manchester accompanied by Ladies' Ski Club representatives. They are open to teams of three (born 1978-1986) representing their school or racing club. All entrants must be in school full time.

LADIES' SKI CLUB The Ladies' Ski Club was founded (in Murren!) in 1923, making it older than both the DHO and the Kandahar. Arnold Lunn was the moving spirit in founding the Club along with many of the lady racers of the day. The object of the Club is to promote ski racing and encourage friendship amongst women skiers as well as amongst the skiing nations. The Swiss lady racers were so envious of the Ladies' Ski Club that they founded their own club a year later. For many years the SDS (Schweizerischer Damen Ski Club) and the LSC had friendly encounters against each other. The two main events on the LSC calendar are

the Schoolgirls' Races and the Ski Kit Mart. This year the Ski Kit Mart has been revamped and renamed Ski Trade In and is being held on 29th October at the offices of Salomon Brothers in Victoria. The money raised at this second hand clothes and equipment sale goes towards helping lady racers. For further information about the Ski Trade In, the Schoolgirls Races or the Ladies' Ski Club in general, contact the Hon Secretary, Ladies' Ski Club, c/o Ski Club of Great Britain, The White House, 57-63 Church Road, London SW19 5DQ.

WENGEN CURLING CLUB JANUARY 1997 The three week season began with the Lehman Bonspiel (for Peter's Dolly) being played in glorious sunshine - in fact not a single cloud was to be seen during the first week. This competition marked the beginning of a four-day reign by the Patersons with Robin skipping the winning rink consisting of Emilio Moser, Willy Wenger and Loreen MacKenzie. The Wyllie Shield was Robin's next triumph but it was not to be third time lucky as the Reinert Stoffer Cup was won by Peter von Ins, although Diane Paterson was in the rink with Rosemarie Rosti and Kate Mark, one of the five new members who joined the Club this year. However he did win the fourth one-day competition, the Wright Bowl, this time accompanied by Diane, Willy Wenger and Margaret Joerg. A few more curlers had arrived by the start of the first two-day competition, the Bulman Cup, but fog in the UK caused havoc with flights and members were being met off trains at 11.00 in the evening, not just to welcome them to Wengen but to determine if the draw for the following day was going to make any sense. In fact the next morning there was still an air of uncertainty until it was discovered whose luggage had arrived and who had the necessary equipment! Finlay Lochhead, Helen Morrison, Rolf Furrer and Kate Mark won this competition. The traditional mugs and saucers, originally gifted by Remy Ades, were presented to the winners by Betty Goodwin. Members were delighted to hear that Penny Waley had agreed to continue this tradition by donating a further supply of the prizes in memory to her late husband, Tony. As the Holland Cup got underway the village had been transformed with all the razzmatazz that accompanies the Lauberhorn Race but nothing distracted the winning rink of Eric Hinds, Jan af Sillen, Erwin Wenger and Pam Brown. The competition for the President's Prizes was played in conjunction with the Hewitt Cup allowing the winners to have their names displayed on the boards. It proved to be an exciting competition with the successful rink of Karl Hindenland, Susie Schuttel and Alex Newman winning their last two games in the final end. The prizes, which were presented at the dance in the evening, were sets of lovely tablemats depicting old Scottish curling scenes and for the runners up a similar picture incorporated in a cocktail tray. The following morning saw the men having a late morning (recovering from an extremely enjoyable dance) whilst the ladies, most ably organised by Donald White, competed for the Margaret Walker Quaich. Five rinks took part with the winners emerging as Patricia Forbes, Lorna Higgins, Susie Trachsel and Penelope Waley. Margaret Walker presented the Quaich and the prizes of beautiful silver pendants in the style of Charles Rennie Mackintosh were donated and presented by Rona Lochhead. Page 60

At this stage our President sadly had to give up his battle with the flu bug and retire to bed. This enabled the Honorary Secretary to come in as substitute and inherit Donald's rink of Patricia Forbes, Biddy and Joh Stevenson in the Victoria Lauberhorn Competition (after the betting had closed!). Luck saw them through some keenly fought games to win the coveted crystal tankards. The prize-giving was an occasion of mixed emotion as it was not only an opportunity to say thank you to Mr and Mrs Castelein for sponsoring the competition but for saying good-bye as this is to be their last season at the Victoria Lauberhorn. As a token of our gratitude for all they had done for the Club they were presented with a set of curling tablemats and a flower arrangement incorporating the Club badge. Lorna Higgins and Biddy Stevenson played extremely well in the Falken Pairs to overcome both mixed and all-male competition, providing excellent spectator entertainment. They were warmly applauded when Madame Cova presented the prizes at a most pleasant reception in the Falken Hotel. The Wengen Cup brought back the sunshine to encourage everyone, the eventual winners being Colin Cameron, Susie Schuttel. Karl Veldhuis and Pam Brown. By now some members were heading home with the number of rinks decreasing. Only six rinks competed for the Hotel and Chalet Cup, which was won by Chalet Petunia - the rink of Peter von Ins, Erwin Wenger, Max Sauter and Willy Wenger. A special prize of gold medals (chocolate) was awarded to the team from the Victoria Lauberhorn as they were the only rink to consist entirely of residents from the same abode. Novel prizes of accommodation vouchers were presented by the Silberhorn Hotel for their competition, which was won by Fred MacKenzie, Susan Hinds, George Gilmore and Audrey White. For the Final Fling on the last day, names were drawn out of the hat in the traditional style, the winners getting to pick their prizes from the secretary's cupboard. At the same time the annual challenge between the Wengen and Jungfrau Clubs was played and although the President was back on the ice to lead our team, the Jungfrau rink were the clear winners. After farewell drinks in the clubhouse we joined the Jungfrau team for lunch at the Caprice hotel. The AGM was admirably chaired by Vice-President Jan af Sillen who had to take over at only a few hours notice when Donald fell ill. Worthy of note is the popular appointment of Ken Geering as an honorary member of the Club, in recognition of his many years of service and support. Fred MacKenzie

The starting point of one of the most beautiful ski runs in the Alps and doubtless the most perfect one in the Bernese Oberland is reached from Wengen in 7 minutes. Beside the easy wide open slopes with plenty of powder snow, well cared runs for courses are always kept open. Drop of altitude 4500ft. over a distance of about 7 miles. Ski-lift Lager - Mannlichen, good snow conditions even in April.

Aerial Ropeway

Special Aeroplane service for skiing in the high mountains Many starting points for the longest and most beautiful skiruns in the high mountains of the Jungfrau area, which before could only be approached by long and toilsome ascents on ski reached now with aeroplanes taking off from Mannlichen with trained glacier pilots. Some of these beautiful glacier runs are: Petersgrat-Stechelberg (Lauterbrunnen Valley), Ebnefluh - Hollandia Hut - Blatten, Fiescherhorn - Finsteraarhorn Hut - Fiesch, Rosenegg Rosenlaui - Meiringen.
