THERE IS‘ something. about the
grandeur of nature’s sculpted hills
and mountains that has captivated
people’s imaginations for genera-
tions.

Poets try to define their lure.
Artists interpret their mystique.

well to. three-dimensional land-

Alpine skiing belongs to this
special world, taking on all the
nuances of each hili and mountain
on which this winter pastime takes
place, and translating them into a
lifetime of discovery and thrills.

Each ski area is unique, with its

natural beauty. For all skiers, chrill

ski experience offers up new mean-

It is the drama of the landscape
itself, multifaceted, ever-changing,
its beauty deeply held over time’s
changing eras.

It is the colors of nature, set off
by the purity of winter white, and
cloud patterns etched in the sky
announcing nature’s fickle moods.

It includes the human element,
translated into laughter,
shouts of joy, concentration,
discovery.

It is families, sometimes even
three generations worth, having
fun together, for skiing knows no
boundaries set by age. It is the
formation of life-long friendships
built around a mutually shared ex-
perience.

And, perhaps above all, it is the
exhilaration of the sport itself,
brought about by a combination of
all these factors, that has millions
of people of all ages enjoying the
ski slopes of Canada each winter.

Whether 100 feet above the
valley floor or 1,000, there is a new
perspective from up there on a ski
slope that puts the ski enthusiast
miles beyond everyday chores or
worries. This is the world the
alpine skier knows.

Mountain is now right on = sched-
ule with the top towers being
lowered into place earlier this
month.

Helicopters flew in the cement

tions in early October. When the
