Early one Saturday at Snow Valley near Barrie enthusiasts even floated through honest-to- goodness knee-deep powd er. T-ha't morning was one which a true skier could never forget. Everyone - ski patrol, ski-school instructors, ski-bums, wanted to‘ be “first man on the mountain”? to carve the first tracks in the fluffy white. Rooster-tails al- most ten feet high followed every skier down the slopes, after. of course, they 'had be- come accustomed to handling the conditions, so different to the ordinary run-of-athe-mill stuff such as “packed base” or “two inches powder on packed"; so familiar to regular ski re- port readers. mouth Most Ontario areas reported from good to excellent skiing Las early as January 5. and the next week-end. according to of- ficial ski reports, no less than 19 resorts and areas had ex- cellent snow conditions. From then on skiers never looked back, except on occasion to check and see how many poor unfortunates'they had passed in that lift-line they just crashed” Looking back over the past season. even the most inexper- ienced Bog'ner-clad snow-bunny admits that the skiing season. when it finally got into full swing back in late December- early January, was the most memorable on record. For all but the most enthus- iastic skiers, those mad types who think nothing of driving or hitch-hiking hundreds of miles to follow the snow to get in that last schusvs of the season, and the final gelandesprung over that ever-increasing mud pa’och, wimter 1962 has come to a close.

Those who had claimed the honour of being first down, way back around December 15, when one used an old pair of worn- out woods so as to save the base on the metal-skis from the rocks, understandably want- ed to be last one down at the end of the year. It was report- ed that three enthusiasts stayed on.top of a hill for close to an hour after the tow stopped at one area, trying to persuade one another to go ahead. Fin- ally they arrived at a compro- mise - they all went down to-‘ ge-therr. However, one sneaky‘ type went on a long traverse and, of course, took longer to descend than the others. In that way he claimed the honour of beng last down. After the skiing had finished at the home club, the real enthu- siasts, those who don’t do anyâ€" thing but ski in their spare time decided to follow the mow. In true ski-bum fashion they tied their skis, poles and boots together, put a sleeping bag under their arm and used the thumb method of transport- a-tion. It’s funny how easy it After the real serious skiing had begun to wane a few weeks ago there was still a lot of sport to be had. It was spring- skilng time and out came the wild costumes. Shorts seemed to be favorites. More than one enthusiast could be seen wait- ing in lift-line garbed in a pair of shorts with a ski-jacket and three or tour sweaters to top off the outfit. “Aren't you cold." the uninitiated would query. “No. lovely weather, couldn't be more comfortable," would be the reply, although ‘the hardy one would never a-dd “except when I fall." Inevitany the bare spots be- gan to show through and no matter how hard area operators tried to cover them over to prolong the season “just another week-end", before we knew it we were skiing in the mud and ‘slush, although some of the most enjoyable skiing came right at the close of the sea- son.

Highlighting defensively was the superb checking barrage laid down by St. Edwards midway through the first period when three suc- ‘cessive penalties to Casey, Mike Deacon and Grieco had them on the ropes for a while with Coa- ch Al Collins reaching for the aspirin bottle. standouts for both teams were, of course, the rival netminders, Terry Riordan of St. Lukes and Johnny Bolger of St. Edwards. Riordan was particularly brill- iam on a number of difficult saves while Bol-ger ‘had to be at his effective best in smother. ing several loose pucks in front of and behind the St. Edward‘s cage.
