THE VANCOUVER SUN: Monday, Jan. 22, 1951 750 Attend Sun's Free Ski Classes Continued from Page 1 anything like this." George Sexsmith, 10, of 1224 Haywood, West Vancouver, said his teacher was "telling us all sorts of things," and that he thought the classes were "wonderful." Neil Young, 12, of 2537 East Twenty-seventh, said it was his first year with The Sun free ski classes but that "I'm coming up again alright." Neil took a tumble "when I couldn't stop on a hill" but he was back at his class before you could say "Neil Young." The instructors at The Sun free ski classes were happy to see Neil back after his tumble because it meant that the absolutely accident free record no lost, strayed or stolen children either -was continuing on into the school's second year, despite the ravages of weather. LEARNING EASY For Neil and all his pals and playmates, learning to ski, under the tutelage of artists like Tim Heiberg and chief instructor Peter Vayda (a Swiss who came here with the Bavarian ski team in the late 30's and stayed) easier than falling off a snow. man. First of all, they had filled out entry forms printed in The Sun, and in return were mailed membership cards in the free ski school.

Their membership entitled them to eight one-hour les. sons, stretching at the rate of one each Saturday over two months. All they had to do then was catch busses at the terminal a block south of The Sun building at staggered times Saturday morning and early afternoon. Some took their own skis in the busses but if they didn't have skis of their own, they could get them up on the mountain. The busses took them up Capilano Road and along to the foot of Grouse Mountain's famed $100,000 "chairway to the the mile-long ski which propelled them, in twin chairs unique on this continent, to the ski village 3200 feet up.

WALKED UP Originally, it had been hoped that second new ski-lift-the 3400-foot tow spanning the 700 vertleal feet between the village and the Grouse Mountain Chalet -would be completed in time to hustle them to the school grounds. But it wasn't. Because ski, of last-minute mechanical difficulties the second lift, everyone had to take the familiar well-worn path to the top. A long line of multi-colored could be seen snaking through the chest deep snow. At the top, beyond the long chalet, they were summoned by the strident clanging of a great bell, under which signs proclaimed "meeting place of The Vancouver Sun free ski school." Then they were funneled into classes.

Some of the classes were conducted by women. One of them was pretty Mrs. Barbara Martin. She had three extra pupils she hadn't counted on; her mother-inlaw, her sister-in-law, and her pound St. Bernard dog, Brandy, who regularly rides up the no hands.

"There's no telling who belongs to The Sun free ski classes," she noted. Said another charming instructor, Mrs. Gertie Wepsala Beaton: "This is greatest bunch of children I've ever seen. And we're going to make real skiers of every one of them." Each instructor had charge of 20 pupils. Junior classes were learning how to navigate without sitting on their skis.

Most common admonition seemed to be your knees no don't kneel." More advanced grades were gliding down slopes, while their instructors advised through, the whistling snow-laden And when it was over, everyone piled into the Skyline Lodge for coffee and hot chocolate and hot dogs. A lot brought lunches. Brandy ate one of by mistake. There were healthy appetites as well as red cheeks. It's always 10 degrees colder at the chalet than the average in the built-up area below, and besides the instructors made sure each student was well exercised.

That built up the appetite as well as the brisk mountain air. TAG DAY Most of the students who had registered The Sun for the free ski classes were over 21. There were 550 of them; they were in class three, which began Saturday at 2:30 p.m. There were 288 registered in class two, the 16-to-21 age group, which began at 12:30 p.m. And there were 247 registered in the first class, ages ranging between 10 and 16, starting at 10:30 a.m.

The patrol was seeking funds with which to continue its work in aiding lost and injured skiers. FIRE Continued from Page 1 shock, to a hospital. There is no road and the rail line was blocked.
