Here we are with the seventeenth issue of the Year Book. Again there was some question in the minds of. your directors whether we should attempt it but, thanks to a generous offer of Mr. J. W. Currie, for some years our advertising representative, we are back again. Last year the Book was published at a cost of about $1200 to the Club and the directors decided that in the light of our financial situation we should economize. Mr. Currie has undertaken to publish the Year Book at cost of only $500 to the Club. He also persuaded me to continue as editor by promising to take off my shoulders the frustrating task of houndling the directors and other contributors for their reports. This year I have received the copy comparatively painlessly. Last year was probably in every way the greatest in the history of the club. Perhaps as a fatuous parent will sometimes try to contain his pride in the per­ formance of a precocious child, our president in his conservative legal way has admitted that "it was, in many respects, an extraordinary year". He could have been forgiven if he had become a little more maudlin. Ferdie Chapman, indefatigable Director of Trails, makes a modest report on a big season of trail maintenance and improvements. Dick Simpson takes over as Captain of the Trail Riders from John Brown whose studies at Carleton University are keeping him busy. Mr. Bill Baker, the Weatherman, again turns back the pages of the Experimental Farm Weather Record and reviews the past winter for us. Just recalling the cold and snow of winter makes him shiver but he knows that his prayers would never be heard among those of 10,000 oppositely-minded Ottawans. In "After Your Accident" I offer some fatherly advice based on 40 years of twisting, spraining and breaking on the ski slopes. Garry Perkins, Director of Ski Patrols, recounts the sad tale of some 564 injuries which indicates that skiing is not becoming any less dangerous. It may be some comfort to know that due to the increasing proficiency of the patrol you will receive even better attention than in the past if you should be injured. Andy Tommy, who managed the Canadian Team at Squaw Valley, gives a first person account of what it feels like when a member of your team wins an Olympic Gold Medal. Franz Baier, Coach of the Olympic .lumpers, tells of their training and compe­ tition in Europe and creditable performance at Squaw Valley. Paul Berniquez gives an amusing and informative account of jumping on the home front. In my account of the Midget Program I describe the biggest year yet for the "small fry" which culminated with an entry of nearly 200'·for the .Skimeister in March. Still on the subject of children's skiing is Harry Rosewarne's story of the Gatineau Zone's plans for Midget and Juvenile Skiing. In case you should forget that accidents are always with us I return with an analysis of accident statistics in the Fortune Area. Because attendance at the Annual Meeting rarely exceeds 100, we are trying to reach more members by publishing the Financial State~e.et in the Year Book. Bob McGiffin follows the Financial Statement with an account . of our arrangements with our concessionaires. -5- ,--·~---··--··-··---· ..- ··---··-~·-··-··---··--- - ·---··-·-·-··-.. --··-··-··-··-·--·-·-~~~·-··: ~ Canada's Finest Homes ~ : ' '~ are Equipped with ~; ~ : ~ BEACH~ ~ ~ ~ Electric and Gas ~ ~ : ~ Ranges ~ .\ 20 Models in the truly modem '· ~. manner, designed, engineered ~ and manufactured right here in l ~ Ottawa to the highest standards i ~ of performance, quality depen- ~ i dability and supreme value.

Each year Jessie declares a profit of some $100 which is quickly used to decrease other deficits. Bert Marshall recalls the. highly successful carnival we had at Fortune and the party at Lansdowne Park to celebrate our 50th Anniversary. John Clifford again gives an accounting of his and the Club's expansion and points cut what we are getting for our money. Dave Midgely took over the job of keeping tab on competitions and his report shows that we had the most active season ever in this category. You won't find the saga of the "Has Beens and Never Weres" listed under competitions. We are not forgotten, however. Ski Magazine has generously offered to print our story in its February issue. Finally, Alex McDougall, long time authority on technique, tells us how the wheel has turned and we are back to where we were shortly after the war.

'. : ~ / ·~. THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

Our 50th Anniversary Year will presently come to a close. It would b:: an understatement to say that it was a good year. It was, in many resp::cts, an extra­ ordinary year. Improvements too numerous to mention were made to our existing hills and to our lodges. The old Pink's Lake Lodge was moved to C:tmp Fortune and set up as accommodation for our midget skiers and th 2ir escorts. Quite fittingly, it was named the Cassel Lodge in recognition of the many years of supervision and care given it by our director, Elmer Cassel. There was, also, the development of the Skiskule, or Sky Line area and the setting up cf a Poma Lift there. The extension of an electric power line into the Camp Fortune area was also a decided step forward. However, it was not only for improvements and construction of facilities that th:: Anniversary Year was noted. We had the great pleasure and the great honour to have cur own Anne Heggtveit win the Olympic Medal at Squaw Valley, a fitting sequel to her earlier success in the Kandahar Race in Europe. More recently, another big improvement has been made in the services rendered by the John Clifford Ski Tows in installing the Ottawa area's first chair lift which takes passengers from the level of the Meach Lake Road to the top of th~ Ski­ skule Hill. This chair lift is of the most modern design and construction and has been highly praised by those who have already had an opportunity to ride on it. At the end of each year, we usually conclude that there will not be too much new construction to be undertaken in the following year. I hesitate to make any such prophecy as invariably such a prophecy has been misleading. There is need for some final work on the ski jump which is well under way at the present time and there is also going to be a great need for additional lodge accommodation on the Sky Line. The progress of the Club is reflected in the tremendous increase in memb::rship which now amounts to approximately 10,000 members. With the new facilities, there is every reason to expect that even this figure will be passed in the coming year. I must express my sincere thanks to the members of the Club's executive who have had a particularly active year and whose efforts have made our Anniversary the success it has been. As usual, we have been spurred on to greater efforts by the imagination and drive of our property manager, John Clifford. We hope that you will be with us again this year and we suggest that, even before the season starts, a visit to the Skiskule area and the Camp Fortune area would prove rewarding.

In the last Year Book I made the observation that the man who dared to pick up the torch dropped by "J.S.P." would inherit a heavy task. It was ob­ viously a hot torch but Dr. Ball held it well for the Golden Anniversary Year of this great Ski Club. This year, Mr. J. W. Currie, publisher of the Year Book, took on the job of obtaining my report. My commiserations and congratulations go to him and Dr. Ball in their under­ standing. Down through the pages of the O.S.C. Year Book it has always been a hard job to get Winters started. It has been difficult to separate the failing days of The Weather Man Fall from the freshening days of Winter. There is a see-saw battle of Nature that At the first of December there was goes on at this season and my favourite six inches of snow on the level fields always loses out in the struggle. and if your T.V. was on you would likely have heard thae immortal words "He Winter made its first intrusion into scores - the Rocket on a pass from the the Realm of Warmth at an unusually Pocket!"

A skiing injury I have received is the stiff neck which results from a heavy fall with a snapping of the heaj, This is similar to the "whip lash" injury which may result when someone slams into the back of your car. Due to the leverages set up by skiis and rigid bindings, skiing results in a unique set of twists, sprains and dislocations. The after effects of some of these strains are frequently not immediately evident and even when they appear are misleading to the layman. For instance a slipped or crushed intervetebral disk may manifest itself as the familiar "scia­ tic" pain which runs down the leg. Such signs are correctly read by the doctor, osteopath or chiropractor, and proper treatment instituted. The primary position of the doctor in the diagnosis and treatment of injuries is recognized. Not so generally under­ stood is contribution .which can be made by osteopaths and chiropractors in the after treatment of the ill effects of parti­ cipation in sports. In the U.S.A. many professional teams retain an osteopath or chiropractor to keep their high salaried players in the lineup. Every injury is followed by pain and disability which, if untreated, may be­ come permanent. It is wise to take ad­ vantage of the benefits of manipulative therapy to reduce this period. r·-··-·--··-··..-....,. .. ..-...- ....- ....,....-l ~ Compliments of ~ ~ BERT STEELE I ~ ESSO STATION ~ ~ . ~ . ~ ~ Sussex and Baird Sts.

The older girls will compete for the Emil Danjaw trophy while the older boys will try to capture the Newt Barry trophy. The younger girls and boys will compete for the John Bracken trophy which was awarded for the first time last season. It is tentatively planned that the Juvenile program follow much the same pattern as the Midget program except that the emphasis will be shifted towards competition. There will be a Juvenile ski school to teach control skiing which is not, however, expected to assume the pre-portions it has in the Midget program since there will be fewer juveniles just starting to ski or who are improving their control skiing technique. The em­ phasis will be placed on competition training, coaching and practical exper­ ience in racing. It is important to note that this competitive schedule will be designed for the beginner as well as for the more experienced racer graduat­ ing from the Midget program. It is hcped that the competition part of the program will provide a continuation for the competitor from the Midget program and at the same time provide an ex­ cellent starting point for a youngster just beginning to race at Juvenile a!;e. The ski clubs which are expected to be active in these programs for the 60-61 season are: Ottawa, Kingsmere, Vorlage, Edelweis, Sedbergh Boys' School, Beamish and possibly some others. It should also be mentioned that the Zone committee is active with the Ottawa Municipal Ski Council in provid­ ing technical assistance and in training instructors for the Municipal schools at Rockcliffe, Hogsback and Carlington.

I think the time has ccme when skiers should be graded before they are allow­ ed to venture out on the slopes. This will be difficult to administer but wi!l eventually come. -44- THE STATISTICS AND MECHANICS OF SKI INJURIES

This style worked very well on ice or steep slopes.

Pole action was used strongly cut of an:i between flags. depending on speed an:i steepness of the slope.
