During this celebration the four
teenth annual ski-jumping tourna
ment takes place oa February 7-8

with a runway of 500 feet. The dis

the present world record
Nela Nelson, a br&keman on tbe
Canadian Pacific Railway, established

1925. The woman’s record Jump of
54 feet was also made on tbe Revel
stoke ski hill In 1922. by laobel
Coursler, a record which still stands.
Little children In this mountain
town who can do little more than
walk begin to ski *s soon as there is
sufficient mow and they are brought
up to think no more of skiing than
the average child thinks of walking
The children have their own bill and
little jumps from which they gradu
ate one by one.

skating rink for the stae of the town
and there are four curium rinks. The
