k© .FOSTER. ILL ONLY BEING THE ANNUAL JOURNAL OF THE DOWNHILL ONLY CLUB WHICH WAS FOUNDED IN WENGEN ON 7TH- FEBRUARY 1925.

COMMENT AND CORRESPONDENCE

Editorial This Journal makes "no pretence to intellectual eminence or scholarship divine". Under its four editors, it has tried to amuse, to inform, to cajole and to poke fun. Occasionally, an exasperated editor has made some mild political noises (particularly when currency restrictions were the vogue). Over the fifty years since the dignified British guest in Wengen first tried to climb through a barrel on skis, the world has turned upsidedown. The club, in this environment, could hardly remain unchanged. It has grown and taken itself perhaps a little more seriously. Its playground in Wengen is no longer the exclusive preserve of the British . . . and a good thing, too, we dare say. The changes are not yet by any means over. The problems of the economy will be transient; other and new challenges will no doubt face everyone over the next half century. To our mind, the ugliest threat will come from the know-it-best brigade of ambitious and cynical political hacks. Look around most places today and you'll find them. . . with the most plausible, facile arguments for depriving us of one or other more of our liberties. Will 2025 see us on regimented "vacations", herded like sheep? Will we be deprived of a fresh breath of mountain air in case it reminds us of lost freedoms ? We hope not. We hope that the D.H.O. Centenary celebrations will have about them the sense of fun experienced back on that day in 1925 and relived ever since.

50 Years of the D.H.O. Yes, this is the 50th anniversary issue. We thought we'd produce it this year, so that the members wouldn't overlook the occasion, and, besides, the printing costs will have gone up again next year. Your committee came up with a weird and wonderful collection of ideas to celebrate the event. We think Ros was all in favour of having the Winter Olympics in 1976 moved to Wengen in honour of the D.H.O. but was unable to get enough volunteers for gate-keeping. Your editor wanted to give the children bars of chocolate labelled D.H.O., but chocolate to the Swiss seemed rather like taking coals to Newcastle. In the end, the Jubilee sub-committee, made up of Dick Edmonds, David Foster, Maggy Gill and Nigel Cornelius, produced an excellent programme, and you can even join in for a long weekend, if you can't come for longer.

Arnie We cannot claim to have known him for very long, but during the last few years we met two or three times a year in Wengen, London or Murren. Each season for the past three or four years we have taken a group of Wengeners over to Murren for a day, and, except for this year, when he had already left for home, we've had a chat before taking the trip back. Somehow, going to Murren next year will have a tinge of sadness about it.

Page Sixteen PRESIDENT'S REPORT Nineteen-seventy-four was probably not one of Wengen's best winters - the warmest for 200 years, only 22 days free of foehn and English visitors down 25 %. Yet skiing conditions at the beginning of March were excellent being bettered only by the previous year and by the end of that month, although the snow line had retreated to Wengernalp, the spring snow - and the touring that went with it - was generally acknowledged the best ever. In this respect, while we continue to maintain our position as the foremost British racing club, I think it a pity that the Touring Section has again little to report. To offer a balanced mix the club needs to temper the high pressure competitiveness of racing with the more leisurely comradeship of touring. Racing Training In contrast, Ros Hepworth and John Latimer are to be congratulated on their best ever set of race results. For the second year running, the D.H.O. provided the Ladies Champion. In the Junior Championship, D.H.O trainees won the Girls Slalom and Giant Slalom and the Boys Slalom and came second out of 20 in the International Team Race. In the under 13 classes, the Boys Combined as well as the Girls Combined went to the D.H.O. Finally the Club provided half the British Team - both men and girls - for the World Championships. Membership It is with deep regret that I have to report to you the death in January of our Honorary Secretary, Sonia Hankin, after a long illness bravely borne. Sonia brought much needed order and discipline to the office when she took over in 1968 and she will be missed not only for her quiet efficient organisationing ability but also the spirit of helpfulness she brought to her various tasks in Wengen. I must also record the deaths of Chris Mackintosh, D.H.O. President from 1957 to 1964 and Tom Fox, President in 1931 and 1932. Also, after a long illness, Werner Staeger, the Club's racing trainer and chief mountain guide in the fifties and an Honorary Member. And finally Sir Arnold Lunn, an honorary (and probably our greatest) member for 43 years. Ninety-one new members and three Honorary members were elected. The latter were Lord Hunt, Mrs. C. J. White, wife of our founding President, and Mrs. Joyce Boyd, sister of Ken Foster and one of our last four surviving founder members whose claim to immortality stems from her naming Oh God. Three gold badges were awarded for good performances in International races to Jane Allison, Theresa Wallis and Alan Stewart. Golden Jubilee The D.H.O. was founded on 7 February 1925 at a meeting in the Palace Hotel, Wengen and next year on 7 February 1975 we shall hold a dinner dance at the Palace to celebrate the occasion. We are expecting 150 to attend- 100 British and 50 Swiss guests. The cost will be Sw. frs. 35 per head including wines and dancing to a traditional Swiss band. Earlier on the same day there will be a light-hearted race against the Kandahar and we shall see if the D.H.O. can avenge that defeat of fifty years ago. The race, which will be preceded by lunch at Wengernalp, will be open to teams of 10 comprising a good cross section of Club membership - say two officers, two committee members, two over fifties, one husband and wife pair and two under 20's. Competitors will be in period dress, on which they will be judged and the course will be a geschmozle start from the chalet on the Bumps via D.H.O. gap to Sawmills. The Wengen Ski Club will also be invited to enter a team. Lastly there will be a Thanksgiving service at the English church on Sunday 9 February. While the official events are being limited to three there will, of course, be many races, runs, tours, parties and other attractions during the week, so it is hoped that as many members as possible will plan their holidays to coincide with the Jubilee. This should prove a marvellous opportunity for you all to meet old friends again. Package travel arrangements are being handled by Supertravel who have produced very competitive quotes for charter flights, rail fares and full hotel accommodation ranging from £50 for the Jubilee week­ end to £130 for the whole fortnight. There will also be a major addition to our racing calendar during the Easter training period, when all F.I.S. countries will be invited to send teams of juniors to compete in a parallel slalom. This will require a number of voluntary helpers, so please remember the date - 5th & 6th April. Dinner Dance Last year's dinner dance at the Savoy was voted the best on record. Particularly appreciated was the superb meal, the quieter band permitting after dinner conversation and the discotheque next door. This year these features will be repeated and I hope you will make a note in your diaries of the date - Friday 8 November. Finally, may I, on your behalf, thank the officers and committee for their hard work and support during the year.

Page Seventeen Wengen R. E. H. Edmonds, Esq. 31st January 1974 President of the D.H.O. Dear Mr. Edmonds, I feel quite ashamed not having acknowledged earlier the receipt of the present you and the committee so very kindly sent me on the occasion of my 80th birthday last July. Please accept now, but unfortunately much too late, my heartiest thanks for the lovely gift and may I ask you to convey my thanks also to the committee. I cannot express enough how very pleased I am with the beautiful print and the inscription. It always was my endeavour to help the Club as much as I could, but really I wonder whether I deserve this- I apologize for writing and thanking you so late and owe you an explanation. Arriving in Wengen only a few days ago I asked my son for the 'Journal' because my copy must have gone astray by the post as I never received it. Reading the President's Report I noticed your mention of a gift having been sent to me in July. I was in Wengen for my Birthday, invited all my relations, but had to do this ten days earlier because of the school holidays of my grandchildren. When your parcel arrived I had already left for Magliaso and the postman of the hotel kept it intending to give it to me on my return, but, alas, this only happened now. My son forgot about it, and therefore I received your gift only at present. When in Wengen I attend the 'Dutch Parties' but there are no more many of the older members, and of the young generation just a few whose parents 1 knew. But 1 am pleased to see that the D.H.O. is still flourishing. You always come out late in February, after I have left for Magliaso, but I hope that one day you will find a ski-track to this place even if you should have to walk the last bit. Again many thanks and kind regards to yourself and to the members of the committee. Yours very sincerely, F. BORTER Lament for a Gully Mannlichen has a new chairlift, and soft snow lovers have lost to the Pistendienst, those lovely gullies just above the restaurant. Undoubtedly, the Mannlichen T-Bar has been getting overcrowded at times, especially since the Grindelwalders have been able to get there without travelling via Wengen. But was it really necessary to cut up some of Wengen's best soft snow? Couldn't a parallel lift have been put right next to the existing one? To look on the bright side, we now have a twelve-minute seat back to the top as well as an eight-minute stand-up. And the queues, never a great problem in Wengen, are even shorter. Bright Spot in the Gloom Having (reluctantly) just returned from a fortnight of glorious September weather, long walks and cold beer in Wengen, we find ourselves beset by noisy politicians trying to convince us that inflation is proceeding at either a disastrous or catastrophic rate, depending on your view point. So we felt we must add a bit to the editorial when we heard that Wengen hotel prices for the 1974-1975 Winter season will not be going up over last year's rates. How's that for an added inducement to come to Wengen this Jubilee year ? Oh God! Here is this whacking great wall, the joy of generations of skiers, especially when the snow was untracked. And do you know what they did to it last season ? They made a piste down it. No, not the Pistendienst - someone would have put sugar into their diesel tanks if they'd been responsible - but some skiers. They were not content with one piste; the day we went down it, there were no fewer than four pistes down Oh God. Let us hope that poor Oh God will not have its dignity affronted like that again. Single! Last January, we took in a weekend's skiing in the Sierras of California, at Alpine Meadows, which is the less crowded next door neighbour to Squaw Valley. The snow was excellent, the weather lovely and the skiing superb at up to about 9,000 feet. Having had my day ticket attached to me in the usual American way, I sauntered over to the nearest T-Bar. There was a large notice saying 'No Singles' which I took to mean single ride tickets - Oh, well, they have curious customs in California. . . Nearby, was a plaintive young lady yelling out 'Single' as loud as she could, possibly in the belief that confession is good for the soul or that someone would come over and bestow either a day ticket or a wedding ring upon her. Eventually, it came to my turn to mount the lift. I had no partner, and was informed in no uncertain terms that I was a 'Single' and therefore banned. I too would have to stand and yell 'Single' till another lone soul came to join me. There are tactics. If you're a single and you see some square-jawed battle-axe seeking a partner, you keep very quiet till she's been taken up. Some people wait a long time for a likely looking candidate, and pounce almost before the 'Sss' has been uttered. My first 'pick-up' turned out to have been in Wengen the previous winter and even remembered skiing with Viv Seiler!

Page Eighteen Extract from The Downhill Only Journal - October 1936 AN EDITORIAL APPEAL Downhill Only! In spite of a rather inauspicious name, the Club has reached its tenth year and is, in fact, very much on the upgrade. An annual record of its activities is therefore so obviously overdue that no apology should be necessary for the actual birth of this journal even though the obstetric activities of the Editor may call for one. The responsibility for the issue of this periodical has been placed on the writer largely because he is known to possess a dictaphone (just like Mr. Arnold Lunn) and a typewriter. Valuable as these are to the amateur journalist they are not exactly creative, and we therefore appeal to all members to help to make this venture a success by sending contributions. One has only to listen to the conversation in the cocktail bar of any Swiss hotel to realise what very decided views the English have on subjects such as skiing, Swiss hotel charges, and the organisation of Swiss mount­ ain-railways; and yet nothing will induce the average visitor to seek a wider public by putting his views into print. The late Mr. Bottomley made a considerable income by inviting people to write him their griev­ ances, which he then printed in John Bull and sold back to them at twopence a copy, and yet when we offer to do the same thing for nothing we get practically no response! If only members will devote just one Wengen evening this season to recording their views on any winter sports topic we shall stand some chance of making this journal as animated as the cocktail bar conversations to which we referred. The first Editor of the Journal had his problems, too. On behalf of editors past and present, let me thank, for their efforts, the many people who have written for the Journal over the years. This year we have made the paper and the Hon. Treasurer's hair thinner. But the cost of the Journal would be prohibitive were it not for our advertisers, and for the efforts of John Robertson and Jost Brunner in finding them. Reminiscences Col. C. J. Odling, T.D., writes: Since the Hon. Editor asked me to write a few lines for the Journal in connection with the Golden Jubilee Celebrations of the Club next February, I have been digging around in the attic to try and find some records and photographs of those days when we formed the D.H.O., and to supplement a memory which in the course of years has ossified. All my records as Hon. Secretary after Waghorn's death until the start of the war in 1939 have been passed on to my successor. I am not really surprised to find that the 'Brownie' photographs in my one remaining album have not endured to show that my amateur efforts at developing and printing would ever be a credit to my hopes. Conditions for skiing in Wengen in those days were primitive. Our primary task was to co-operate with the Kurverein in opening up gates and fences to permit a continuous run from Scheidegg to Wengen, and to convince the local land-owners that there was need for something more than a luge run. We laid a firm foundation; we had some arguments with the farmers and with the Kurverein, but these did not go un­ resolved and our facilities quickly improved as more and more English visitors came to Wengen to ski. My recollection in those days is of G. C. Dobbs and his family, and then of Vivian Caulfeild who started the idea of teaching beginners to ski and to explore the slopes. The Swiss ski-schools were quick to take up these enterprises and to standardise their methods under Christian Rubi. Much has been written of the actual episode which sparked off the formation of the Club, as a humorous support for the team of Downhill racers which was taking on a similar team from Murren entitled the Kandahar. These arrived by train wearing badges and, to maintain the morale of our team, Ken Foster drew a comic figure on small pieces of paper which were pinned to our team's coats but not surprisingly were not able to assure our victory. The Club thenceforth set to, to raise an equally decorated team which in a few years would prove themselves winners. Our personal efforts in those first days were always given wholehearted support by Fritz Borter who was at about that time, taking-over the management of the Palace Hotel from his father. I have always been convinced that without this encouragement in those early days, the Club would never have prospered or been enabled to achieve the basic opening up of the ski runs from the top of the W.A.B. railway. Indeed, I am sure that if I were able now to take a run down from Scheidegg I should find it difficult to trace our old landmarks. It has been a great satisfaction to me as a Founder to see the old names of my friends of those days still appearing in the lists of members, showing that sons and daughters are carrying on the job we started and contributing to the continued success of the Club. The Old House Best wishes to the D.H.O. upon their 50th Birthday. Kendal British skiing in general and racing in particular have benefited enormously from the devoted services given to the sport by Officers and Members of the D.H.O. Club. May the second fifty years produce even better results. Wakefield of Kendal

Wengen exposed Last winter, the Consumers Association carried out a survey of some skiing resorts. Inevitably, perhaps, Wengen was chosen as one of those to be studied. If we get a look at the report before press time, we shall comment on the survey. What we wonder is if any comparative survey could possible capture the spirit of a place. Statistics of snowfall, sunshine, whiskey prices and the length in metres of lift queues - yes, but friendliness, informality and good company, we wonder... Museum der Talschaft The communities of the Lauterbrunnen valley are setting up a museum in the old schoolhouse in Lauter­ brunnen. It will collect books, documents and historical objects related to the valley communities. Contributions of suitable exhibits would be welcome, and membership in the Museum Association may be obtained by an annual subscription of 10 francs for individuals or 20 francs for groups. Contact "Mus- eumsverein der Talschaft, Lauterbrunnen"; subscriptions may be arranged through the Cantonal Bank of Berne, Wengen. We did suggest contributing Ros Hepworth to the museum, but were advised that she was not nearly ancient enough, and, anyway, they don't like having to feed their exhibits. BOOK REVIEW THE AVIS GUIDE TO SKIING IN EUROPE 1975. Published by FMP Publications Ltd., 30 Thurloe Place, London S.W.7. Foreword by Dlvina Galica, M.B.E. 144pp. £2.40 There have been several guides to ski resorts in the last few years. One way to test them is to check what they say about the resorts you know. This new book gives accurate, objective pictures of the most signific­ ant resorts in the European skiing areas (it includes Spain, Andorra and is frank and fair about Scotland). The presentation of facts is clear and consistent, with information about the place, the skiing, other sports and a variety of other important items (including the nearest Avis office). The book is liberally illustrated in colour, though some of the photos are too anonymous to identify the resort they are shown with. The resort maps, however, are excellent. In addition to describing resorts, there are readable articles on the development of ski resorts (a sort of potted history of skiing by Elisabeth Hussey), How to Get Where, with a not very obtrusive plug for Avis, a Learning to Ski section too short to be really useful and an excellent section on Fashion and Equipment, written in non-gushing style by Anna Asheshov. At the back, there is a star rating chart of assets and liab­ ilities of the resorts — a bit complicated and not in alphabetic sequence, but once you've figured it out, its assessments are fair. A list of resort Tourist Offices, complete with phone numbers is a unique and very useful feature This is a very good guide, which we hope will be repeated in future years. Perhaps the proof-reading could be improved a bit. Miirren seems to come off particularly badly. The Schilthorn has shrunk to 2,102 m. and the star identifying a summer skiing resort has slipped a line and gives Wengen that distinction instead! D.N.F.

Page Twenty THE EARLY YEARS OF THE D.H.O. JOURNAL Cartoons by K. D, F. A lowly origin is supportable when we are separated from it by a decent interval of time and a reasonable record of success, so that we may perhaps admit now that the D.H.O. had its origin in a cocktail bar. In February 1925, the Kandahar issued a challenge to Wengen, and C. J. White managed to raise a team by taking what amounted to a Press-gang round the bars of Wengen, choosing a time when many people are apt to be a little lighthearted about the plans they make for the morrow. The names of those who so thoughtlessly accepted the responsibility of being the first British team to represent Wengen were C. J. White, Barry Caulfield, Donald Dalrymple, D. S. Stoneham and K. D. Foster, with S. F. Fisken as reserve. Came the dawn, and with it the Kandahar team, led by Duncan Harvey. Being still in the rather aggressive stage of their evolution they were covered with "K" emblems, and were accompanied by what appeared to be a highly-organised Service Department, fully equipped with spare parts and with all sorts of aids to ski-ing. These outward signs of efficient organisation did nothing to raise the spirits of the Wengen team, many of whom were already doubting the wisdom of their overnight decision and the strict accuracy of C. J. White's description of the event as an informal little outing in which a good time would be had by all. The Kandahar opened with a brisk suggestion that the event should consist of a Slalom and a Straight Race. To this the Wengen team agreed, concealing the fact that most of them had not the slightest idea of what a Slalom might be. They learnt all about it in the course of the morning, at the expense of a defeat of 20 points to 5. During the lunch interval K. D. Foster thought that something should be done to remove the in­ feriority complex induced by the morning's defeat and by the glittering display of K badges, so he sketched a supply of paper badges which showed a figure ski-ing in a rather constipated position on the top of the initials "D.H.O."—an abbreviation for "Downhill Only", which was a catchword coined by S. F. Fisken to indicate his preference for railway-mountaineering. Whether the redundant "H" was put in for the sake of euphony or from a constitutional inability to spell has never transpired. These badges were well received by the Wengen team, who wore them pinned on their hats when they went up for the Straight Race in the afternoon. The effect on the Kandahar was that of someone at a Guest Night wearing a miniature that no one can identify. Wengen did a little better in the Straight Race in the afternoon (possibly in a determination not to let their badges down) as they were only defeated by 10.5 to 13.5 points, and managed to get the second and third places, as well as tie-ing for the fourth. The final result—a defeat for Wengen by 33.5 points 15.5 points—sufficed to show Wengen that Kandahar were very much better skiers and also had the advantage of training and organisation for racing. The idea of serious racing was an entirely novel one in Wengen at that time, as ski-races had been regarded as being merely another attraction organised by the Kurverein, like ice gymkhanas. When the team looked back on their day they found—greatly to their surprise—that they had actually enjoyed racing, and the performance of the Kandahar made them realise that, in the words of the advertisement, "It's not only nice, but it's good for you". These reflections had their result in a dinner held at the Palace Hotel the following night (Saturday, February 7th, 1925), when it was decided to perpetuate the "D.H.O." as a Club whose main object should be to avenge the defeat suffered the previous day. The team elected themselves as the first committee, under the presidency of C. J. White, and co-opted Vivian Caulfield and Herr Borter as additional members. This gave a committee of eight, rather overbalancing the five ordinary members, who were C. J. Odling, Miss Kitty Dobbs, Miss Joyce Foster, N. Byam-Grounds and Othmar Gurtner. The Club had no entrance fee, no subscription and no idea beyond trying to win back the Bernese Oberland Challenge Cup from the Kandahar. In 1926 the D.H.O. challenged the Wengen Ski Club for the first time and, although defeated, were not disgraced. Probably the Swiss them­ selves would be the first to admit that, in 1926, there were very few indications that the Wengen district would, in the course of a few years, be able to put in the field what is probably the strongest team in Switzerland. In those days Wengen ski-ing was in the hands of a few elderly guides who conducted it on strictly conservative lines. For the most part they led their charges for sober trips round the Mettlenalp or above the line from Wengernalp, and they were inclined to shake their heads at the impetuous spirits who wished to be taken down the Bumps. Such goings on, they hinted, would end inevitably in Dr. Oetiker's clinic. It is true that there were a few races to cater for the tastes of the more adventurous, but they were of a kind that would make the "Under Third Class Cup" of to-day seem like an international event. Those were the days when any competitor who fell less than three times before he was out of sight was regarded by the other competitors as an almost certain winner. For changing all this the D.H.O. deserves not a little credit—that is, provided we are agreed that credit is the word to apply to a change from leisured and gentlemanly mediocrity to high-pressure efficiency. The leading members of the D.H.O. set an example in racing and brought over many of the prominent skiers of the day to race against them, so that the other Wengen skiers could watch the style of runners like Mackintosh, Bracken, Dick Waghorn, Joannides, C. J. White, Barry Caulfleld, d'Egville, Tom Fox, Duncan Harvey and Boughton-Leight, to mention but a few. Yet another contribution to the education of both Swiss and British skiers in Wengen resulted from the exploratory and experimental attitude of the leaders of the D.H.O. Skiers such as C. J. White, Tom Fox and Dalrymple took to the woods (ski-ing in woods, mark you!) and it is fairly safe to say that every one of the wood runs popular in Wengen to-day was first discovered by the D.H.O. Watching the D.H.O., the more far-seeing members of the Wengen community—Christian Rubi and Ernst Gertsch for example, realised that ski-ing was developing into a strenuous sport calling for planning a generation ahead, and the result of the work they put in on the young Swiss skiers at that time can be seen in the team that the Wengen district can put into the field to-day. The year 1927 was a memorable one for the D.H.O., as it marked the achievement of their original object. Racing at Murren, they regained the Bernese Oberland Challenge Shield with what was almost the same team as the one that lost it in 1925 (Barry Caulfield, Tom Fox, C. J. White, K. D. Foster and Baillie-Hamilton), and, later in the season, were successful in retaining the Wengen Ski Team Cup when the Kandahar came over to Wengen to race for it. Instead of singing a Nunc Dimittis they celebrated the event by revising the rules and imposing an annual subscription of eight shillings. The Minute covering this alteration says, somewhat speciously, that the money was required mainly for "hospital­ ity to other Clubs". The following year the Club suffered a terrible loss, Donald Dalrymple being killed in an avalanche accident on February 9th 1928, when crossing the Eggishorn to Bettmeralp. Dalrymple had been the Hon. Secretary since the formation of the Club, which was held together to a great extent by his lively and ingenious temperament. The constitution of the D.H.O. had always been of a rather nebulous nature, and when Dalrymple's organising ability was lost the Club sank into a coma from which it was revived in the nick of time, by H. R. D. Waghorn and the Hon. Secretary, Lieut.-Col. Odling. Under the presidency of Dick Waghorn the Club was just regaining its old vigour when tragedy inter­ vened once more, Waghorn being killed in an aeroplane accident, and the Club suffered another relapse. By 1935 it became evident that the D.H.O. could not continue in a state of suspended animation; it must either go forward or give up al­ together, and so the Club was reorganised on a wider basis under the presidency of K. D. Foster. The expansion initiated that year was carried on to such good effect by succeeding Presidents—backed by Col. Odling, that it has now far outgrown the ideas of the thirteen skiers who started it in the less organised days of 1925. This account by Ken Foster of the Club's origins appeared in the 1946 Journal. Of those thirteen original members only four survive: F. Borter, C. J. Odling, Miss Kitty Dobbs (now Mrs Malcolm Muggeridge) and Miss Joyce Foster (now Mrs Boyd). It was Miss Foster who named "Oh God" and it is ironical that of so many early English names now almost forgotten, such as Barry's Wood (Bannwald), Mac's Leap

Page Twenty-one (today largely by-passed) and Joann's Hole (the tangled shrubbery, through which that powerful skier forced it, all long since gone), this one impiety wrung from Miss Foster as she first viewed the slope down which her Swiss guide proposed to lead her should survive and indeed become adopted, untranslated, into the many languages now mingling on the Oberland slopes. The first Journal appeared in October 1936 with Ken Foster as Editor. The Journal proved an immediate success and has appeared annually — excepting only the 1939/45 war years — ever since. Among the reasons for this success are perhaps its light style, the continuing response from members to that first (and often repeated) appeal for contributions, the liberal sprinkling of photographs and sketches to relieve the text and a text itself that often wanders unashamedly into subjects only faintly connected with ski-ing. Arnold Lunn wrote in the '48 Journal: "The Year Book" said Amstutz to me "got more and more interesting as the war went on." "Yes" I replied "because it had less and less in it about the dreary subject of ski-ing." All these qualities have been maintained by successive editors; Edmonds who took over in 1956, Ashburner for the '66 & '67 numbers and Freund now, as they say, gloriously reigning. One other delight of those early numbers was the good-humoured war waged between Arnold Lunn and Ken Foster. In his final Editorial, appealing for a successor, KDF wrote: Members are therefore urged to write to the President recommending themselves (or their friends) for the vacancy. Although the job entails a lot of work it is one that has its compensations. The Hon. Editor can, for example, be rude to Sir Arnold Lunn with the knowledge that he will have to wait a year for the next issue of the B.S.Y.B. before he can answer back. He can also tilt at people or institutions of which he happens to disapprove with a reasonable certainty that the law of libel will not be invoked. The '36 Journal shows that the 13 members of 10 years before had grown to 260 encouraging the Commit­ tee to try its first Dinner Dance — 16/- a ticket at the Grosvenor House. However the lack of comment on this in the '37 Journal coupled with an appeal to support the 1937 Dinner Dance (at the Cafe Royal and at 15/- a ticket) suggests that this first venture was not a success. Already in 1937 the first hints appear of what was to come. A review of "Spanish Rehearsal" read: It has nothing whatever to do with ski-ing but the fact that it is written by Arnold Lunn is sufficient excuse for mentioning it here. If everybody would read it there would be less chance of the tragedy that is being rehearsed in Spain at present being brought over to this country for a full-stage production. and a light-hearted description in a letter from C. J. White, our Founder President, of the island which, as Artillery Officer, he was so soon to help defend: This is a pretty benighted island and one that does not appeal to me very much. It is the most highly populated portion of the world's surface, there being 1,000,000,000 persons per square mile. There are 100 motor vehicles per head of population, and each person owns 10,000 goats. The island is covered with buildings on 999/1 OOOths of its area; the rest is rock, surrounded by sea. You cannot get into the sea because of the rocks, and if you fall in you cannot get out again. The fauna consists of goats, and the flora of two bushes, one of which is prickly and has no leaves;- the other has no leaves but smells. The majority of the inhabitants talk Maltese, which is a language closely related to the Phoenician (which doubt­ less you talk fluently); it differs from that language in being spoken and not listened to, and in being spoken as loudly as possible. It has, of course, no vowels but only consonants. The rest of the inhabitants talk scandal. Another letter that year welcomed the new "Dutch Parties" but suggested they should be held in the Eiger Bahnhofstube. With the '38 Journal war was plainly gathering. Thus the Editorial "This issue goes to press at a time when we have to fight off people who are trying to fit us with gas masks while we vainly telephone Switzerland to try to find out whether they are going to blow up their frontiers and cancel their advertisements. . ." The Swiss however hoped for the best and an article from Christian Rubi promised a real ski-lift, no less, on the Brunner slopes: ". . .the landowners have willingly placed at our disposal the necessary ground . . .in­ tense downhill practice is going to be the order of the day, with a good rest on the return trip in comfort­ able sledges. . ." Alas by the Winter of '39 the "order of the day " was very different. The '46 Journal has a moving article "The Return" by Paul Hepworth and moving it was for all pre-war members who survived to return to that peaceful paradise from the ravaged remainder of Europe. For younger members who may be wondering "was Paul Hepworth any relation of. . ." an excerpt to convince them: "A seven years' dream came true on 12th April 1946 my wife having preceded me by some weeks. .. on arriving at Interlaken I saw a figure in ski clothes apparently a native of West Africa. It was my wife who had just been over the Monch Joch and down Eismeer.. ." An article by Dr. Zahnd revealed that Wengen in wartime had lost all its menfolk to military service so that "the women had to cultivate the soil and look after the cattle". However they had 2,000 French inter­ nees in 1940, later the Palace, Belvedere and Alpenrose had become military hospitals and in 1944 they were welcoming those US bomber crews who managed to land in Switzerland. The ski-ing facilities had not however been neglected and returning members found not just the "Brunner sledge" promised for 1939 but the Lauberhorn and Innerwengen lifts as well and, moreover, trains every hour. By 1947 the euphoria of victory had turned sour. The sedulous nursing of seats by so many non-combat­ ant Socialists during the war years whilst their opposite numbers had forgotten politics and left their organ­ isation gathering dust, the sustained Socialist propaganda fed to our forces under governmental guise and the boost to it all through Stalin, after shaking hands with Hitler over the corpse of Poland, being forced to join forces with the West and become one of "our glorious allies" had led to the inevitable sweeping Socialist victory at the polls and Britain was plunged into crisis, bitterness and austerity; even bread was

Page Twenty-two rationed — a privation which Hitler at his worst had failed to force upon us. No foreign currency was allowed with the result that Swiss advertising ceased and with it almost the Journal. However, "the committee naturally took some time to reconsider the position, and it was not until the first week in October that we were told that, since this publication is just about all that can be offered to Members this year, we were to go ahead in spite of everything." The Journal therefore came out as a slim edition one month late, in November (a lost month which it has never since recovered). The Editorial continued. Those of the poor shabby English who were able last season to struggle out of the Attlee-Cripps Penal Establish­ ment for a fortnight in the sunshine of the Alps must have been struck by the extraordinary kindness with which they were received by the Swiss. They did everything possible to make us feel that we were back on our pre-war footing, and dealt most tactfully with the difficulties arising from the fact that we are now a poor nation. Ken Foster was never one to steer the Journal gently through non-controversial waters and his '48 Edit­ orial opened Up to the time of writing there has been no clear-cut announcement with regard to Winter Sports. During the summer one could take the £35 and have a heck of a time with it where and how one liked but we have heard rumours that when the Labour V.I.P's return from their proletarian holidays at the South of France and in Italy all the rules are to be altered presumably on the theory that there are a number of Labour voters who take Continental holidays during the summer, but that the clientele of the winter resorts is drawn entirely from the class so pleasantly described by the Minister of Health as "vermin". God knows, we do our best to keep politics out of this column but we find it hard to disguise the fact that we shall sigh no sighs when the time comes for Cripps and his comrades to creep back into the woodwork of the London School of Economics. The number has him in lighter mood describing the British Ski Championships at which he and Arnold Lunn were flag-keepers: It had been agreed that any male post-entry should be started before the women, but nobody thought to tell Arnold about this, with the result that when No. 47 appeared on the course just as we were all expecting No. 20 he turned a deep purple and sprang up the hill exclaiming "Who is this man? Stop him at once; Turn him back; Disqualify him!" As Ernst had had to compress the course into such a short vertical descent Arnold was able to scramble up and inter­ cept the offender at the third pair of flags, demanding testily what the hell he thought he was doing. No. 47, retaining his presence of mind and balance under the most unexpected difficulties, replied apprehensively that he was racing and then left the Stem Blade in a south-easterly direction. Arnold then sidestepped crossly down to the next-but-one pair of flags and resumed the inquisition by demanding why he had started out of order. No. 47, doing a neat christi between the flags, replied that the starter had started him, upon which Arnold, after a short pause for reflection, joined him at the next pair of flags and said quite affably "Well, you seem to be doing quite well. Good luck!" Fortunately the Gilligans, being good D.H.O. members, ignored the original instructions and kept their stop­ watches going, which was just as well since No. 47 (Garrow) was first in the combined result. The '48 Journal also has a hair-raising account by Terence Morrison-Scott of an incident on Eismeer: We had done a right-hand traverse, then a left, and were on the third leg. The snow was perfectly smooth and there was no sign of a crevasse when all of a sudden Maeva disappeared through the snow as though a trap-door had been opened. Wanda, following behind, was able to stop in time and could just see the soles of Maeva's ski, evidently caught across the mouth of the crevasse. There she hung upside down for a few seconds, but before anyone could do anything about it her ski had slipped and she went clattering down with nothing but a small hole in the snow where she had been. Three people had been over the spot that morning, Hans Lauener and his girl and Willy, and Maeva is no heavyweight. She seemed to be miles down and in the blue dimness could be made out, the right way up, with the middles of her ski resting on a lump of snow which had come down with her and had wedged in a place where the crevasse walls narrowed suddenly, and the tips and heels of her ski hanging over space, from which pinnacles of ice jutted up waiting for her frail snow bridge to collapse. Nobody seems to know how deep these crevasses are: 'Bodenlos' it seemed for all practical purposes. The situation was not too good but at all events a faint voice from the depths informed us that no limbs appeared to be broken and she was wedging herself across the narrow bit of the crevasse with her shoulders and elbows to take the weight off her ski a bit.

*>i We had only one rope—Willy's. Hans Lauener had one of course, but he was on ahead. Willy's choice could not have been enviable. Should he see if his own rope would reach her? If it would not then the time he had spent dis­ covering this would have lessened his chances of getting Hans back. But every minute that went by involved the risk that Maeva might fall further, perhaps beyond the reach of even two ropes. He could have sent Wanda or Patsy on to recall Hans while I lowered him on his rope, but that involved the risk of another of his flock disappearing into a hole. And would I, plus one girl form a strong enough team for hauling up again? And if the one rope was not long enough and the second not forthcoming it would have been a herculean task to cut steps down to her and carry her up again to where the rope reached. It would also have been a lengthy job and time can be precious. They say that two hours in that intense cold can be too long. which should stir readers to dig out their old backnumbers but, for the benefit of post-48 members, yes Maeva made it. That Winter the travel allowance had risen to £35 and in the early Summer of '49 to £50 enabling, as the Editorial commented, most of the Cabinet to holiday abroad. However, as soon as the boys got back, looking—so we are told—bronzed and fit, Sir Stafford Cripps had another of his re­ velations which told him how we could keep going without making any reduction in Government expenditure and the result is that you will get the same as last year, £35, but will have to pay £50 for it. The strongest fire that year however was turned on FIS: In 1947 the FIS Council received from U.S.S.R. what was supposed to be an 'application' for membership of the FIS but which was in fact one of Stalin's jolly little "You-do-this-or-else. . ." communications as circulated by him to the nations of Eastern Europe. This ultimatum stipulated that Russia have a seat on the Council forthwith, that Russian should be one of the official languages and that the Spanish Ski Association should be expelled from the FIS. This remarkable document was considered by the FIS Council before the opening of the Congress and it would seem that they agreed that the first two demands should be considered (although the U.S.A. had to wait twenty years before they had a seat on the Council) but it was unanimously agreed that the third demand could not even be discussed, since there is nothing in the FIS Statutes permitting the expulsion of a member on political grounds. However, when the Congress opened this very proper decision was completely ignored and the FIS President (a character named Colonel Oestgaard) not only allowed a discussion to be started on the expulsion of Spain but sat for the best part of an hour listening to the Eastern bloc delivering a violent polemic against Spain. In spite of this flagrant abuse of proceedings at a Congress that is sup­ posed to be concerned only with the sport of ski-ing the delegates listened in silence and the solitary protest came from Mme. Van den Bergh, representing the Netherlands. Up the Dutch! In view of this lamentable departure from the great traditions of the FIS—a body that in 1938, refused to knuckle under to Nazi dictation—Mr. Lunn very properly resigned his seat on the Council and the SCGB has no intention of nominating a successor at present. Mr. Lunn records the fact that Russia and her subsidiaries came laden with rich gifts for the FIS President. Russia gave him a Casket (contents unstated), the Poles an Oil Painting (subject unstated) and the Hungarians a Lovely Banner. As Mr. Lunn remarks, the British delegation were out of this competition and could only console themselves with the thought that their country did offer Col. Oestgaard asylum at the time when the German and Russian {not Spanish) nazis were exchanging great big smacking kisses over the corpse of Poland. One hopes for the day when the FIS will realise the folly of mixing politics and sport; meanwhile we can only leave this Colonel Oestgaard peeking into his Casket, admiring his Oil Painting, and waving his Lovely Banner. On a historical note, for this was the 25th Anniversary number, F. Page Gourlay wrote: The first house built in this hamlet is traced back to 1268, at which date the people of this beautiful Swiss valley were ruled and influenced by the Augustine Monastery at Interlaken. In 1349 the inhabitants becamed restless but did not finally throw off the yoke until the time of the Reformation in 1529. In 1669 plague broke out in Grindelwald and the inhabitants from this village visited Wengen dressed in their oldest clothes with the object of ridding themselves of the plague by passing it on to the Wengen villagers. They were successful in their grim wish as 360 died out of a pop­ ulation of 1,000. It was not until the late nineteenth century that Wengen became a small holiday centre and in 1840 the first hotel appeared. Most of the hotels were built thirty to fifty years ago by cheap labour imported from Italy and the village did not become a holiday resort of any size until the railway was completed in 1895. With the fifties we are almost out of those "early years" and this review almost out of its allotted space. Three more excerpts only therefore: From the 1950 number: All about Aunty Soon after the war Aunty Scgb slipped back some sixty years and devised a slightly fantastic revision to her Second Class Test. Casting aside prosaic paragraphs about soft snow and no-fall descents she substituted requirements for Seven Tours that went right back to those spacious days when the English milor, descending from his post-chaise at Grindelwald, purchased six miles of rope and eight Guides and then, being suitably equipped, set out to Do the Alps. For the next few seasons the Club members did their utmost to live up to that station of life to which it had pleased Aunty to elevate them but the currency restrictions beat them in the end. The outcome was that DHO Committee-member Pershke wrote Aunty a letter pointing out that the new requirements were magnificent, but that they were not post-war skiing. Aunty, who has never been one to allow the younger generation to get uppish, rapped him smartly over the knuckles but she must have thought it over later and decided that there might be something in what the child said because she modified her require­ ments and made it possible to complete the Second Class Test without doing the Dance of the Seven Tours. From 1951, by way of Obituary on our greatest Honorary Member, Foster on Lunn: The pattern of Arnold's life was not shaped by Harrow and Oxford as much as by the fact that his father (the late Sir Henry Lunn) cherished a life-long ambition to bring about a Union of the Churches. To this end he managed, while still a young man, to assemble quite a collection of Church dignitaries of all denominations at the Bear Hotel in Grindelwald, his idea being that the rarefied air and almost cataleptic atmosphere of the Oberland would induce them to compose their differences. In the event it was proved that differences in dogma do not decrease with altitude, but the ease with which he had moved all these old gentlemen across six-hundred miles of Europe made Lunn Senior decide to go into the transportation business from a purely secular angle, the result being the foundation of the well known travel agency of Sir Henry Lunn Ltd. In consequence of this paternal activity Arnold spent his formative years on the Continent, He started ski-ing at Chamonix in 1898, at the age of ten, and decided at once to devote the rest of his life to ski-ing and mountaineering. Arnold was in at the birth of British ski-ing and, as usual, he went straight to the top, both as a performer and as an organiser. Looking round for new worlds to conquer his eye fell on the F.I.S. and he immediately launched a one-

Page Twenty-four man attack on the Scandinavian fortress of this institution with quite fantastic success. He joined the F.l.S. Council in 1934 and Britain's contributions to ski-ing, made through him, include the recognition of downhill racing and the slalom (which he invented), the ban on stick-riding, the system of limitation of entries for World Championships and the Group Draw now in universal use. He was Chairman of the Downhill Racing Committee 1934-40, and, shortly before the war, the F.l.S. adopted, almost without alteration, his suggestion for a revision of their Statutes. To appreciate the full measure of Arnold's achievements in forcing the views of a non ski-ing country on the F.l.S. one must imagine the Royal Yacht Squadron altering its rules at the request of a delegate from Switzerland. Although the long list of his books given in Who's Who might lead one to suppose that authorship is his main pre­ occupation it is probably true to say that most of the satisfaction he gets from writing arises from the fact that the proceeds enable him to get to his beloved mountains. and finally, from 1952, a fitting Obituary to a Past President and one of the DHO's greatest ski-ers, Lunn on Mackintosh: Christopher Mackintosh learned to ski as a small boy in Villars and a little later in Wengen where he went to school with (and fought with) Ernst Gertsch. He entered for a Jumping competition in his teens and in 1930 won the British Jumping Championship, and in his late forties distinguished himself in a Moonlight Jumping Competition at Wengen. He has never fallen on a Jumping Hill either in practice or in competition. He started his ski-ing career with the immense advantage of being a superb athlete; a double Blue at Oxford for Rugby and Athletics. He represented Scotland at Rugby and of course captained Oxford at ski-ing. In 1924, Chris took part in the first open International Downhill and Slalom ever held. I set the course and I was standing at the top of what is now called Mac's Leap, wondering where I should put the control, when Chris appeared suddenly, dived straight down the slope, leaped ten metres where the slope steepened, rattled across the wood-sleigh path at the bottom, held the abrupt outrun without a stagger, shot up the steep bank on the other side and finished with a wonderful Christiania. He had run from top to the finish on hard icy snow without the faintest suggestion of a crouch. That gay and gallant run remains in my memory as the most sensational and care free impromptu in ski-ing history. Of all the great racers of the Golden Age there is none, British or continental, whose ski-ing made a stronger appeal to the imagination than Chris, and none who exemplified more perfectly the gay spirit of British racing in the Golden Age. Footnote: There is another version of the christening of Mac's Leap. According to this, Arnold was setting the course for the race to be held the next day and when he got to the top of Mac's Leap he said: "There is an example of a slope that nobody but a lunatic would take straight as there is no outrun." Chris, who was one of the entourage and who is always spurred by any didactic statement immediately jumped round and took it straight, as described above. Arnold, said fretfully: "Very well, we will take the race down there tomorrow," and flagged it accordingly. Chris's failure to repeat his flawless run in the race was due to the fact that the wood-sleigh path had been in use all the morning and was cut out to twice its original depth. When he hit it he performed "Mac's Leap" flying through the air for about fifteen feet before making a three-point landing in which he lost a ski and tore off a finger-nail trying to put it on again in a hurry.—Ed.

Illustrations by Pienecke Walduck

Centenary The D.H.O. is a hundred years old this year. Our Centenary was celebrated first at the Dinner Dance at the Savoy and later by the 3,769 members who flew over to Wengen in February. The most moving sight was the parade of old-timers who walked from the High Street to the Mannlichen cable-car carrying the D.H.O. banner. It was the first time in many years that anyone has been seen walking such a long way in Wengen. And uphill, too. The traditional race between the D.H.O. and the Kandahar had to be cancelled. The queues of skiers at the top of the Lauberhorn waiting to get down were so long that racing, even with the new, high-speed battery-powered skis, was just not on. During the Friday night of the Wengen celebrations, some D.H.O. enthusiasts actually painted the Wengen-Miirren cable-car blue and white. This unfortunately led to friction with the Kandahar and the Miirren authorities, who wouldn't let the offending vehicle into their terminal. Consequently, passengers had to change cable cars halfway over, a difficult feat in the prevailing wind particularly for those with hangovers. Fortunately, only Patrick Entwhistle-Ponsonby came to grief. His descent was said to have outshone the Triimmelbach Falls at their best. It is gratifying to see the membership still rising in these difficult times. Our membership rose to a record 17,477 last year. It is however, sad to record a further decline in skiing members from 46 to 39. It would be sad if descents on ski dependant wholly upon gravity and technique were to die out, even considering the difficulty of obtaining the old, unmotorized skis these days.

Parity At last it has become easy to convert Swiss prices to Sterling. With the devaluation of the Pound in April, the Swiss franc and the Pound are now equal. It would be criminal if the government were to allow the Pound to slip any further, and therefore introduce new difficulties to the British traveller to Switzerland. Warlins at Konkordiaplatz We had some doubts last year about the plan to build a holiday camp at Konkordiaplatz. However, we visited the camp this year, and were impressed by the excellent facilities. There are sleigh rides to Blatten, gondola lifts to Grindelwald and Jungfraujoch and guided tours of the old Konkordia Hut. Great care is taken to keep people from falling into crevasses, but with such attractions as round-the-clock Bingo and recorded alp-horn music few people have any reason to wander far away from the camp. The camp was such a success last season that accomodation is being doubled to 6,000 this winter. The management of the camp are also on schedule with the revolutionary covered escalator up the North Wall. This will make accessible one of the few slopes not yet conquered by man's technical initiative.

It's no joke At the Centenary Dinner, the Hon. President, whose own centenary preceded that of the D.H.O. by three years, reminisced about the days when skis had no steering wheel to guide them. Practically the whole audience thought this idea was another gem of the Hon. Pres's boundless humour. However, our own archives and the Museum of Natural History show that such contraptions did exist, and were apparently guided by brute strength. It is difficult to understand what pleasure the twentieth century skier could have derived from descending motorless, brakeless and with no means of steering down slopes which, we are told, were in some cases not even pisted. The Hon. Pres. raised the biggest laughs, though, when he told of skiers, in his younger days, actually CLIMBING UP mountains on their skis or carrying them.

Page Twenty-six New Transport Facilities January saw the new chairlift which picks up skiers from the dismounting point near the Hotel Eden and drops them neatly by the round table in the Eiger. The 150 metres walking saved is much appreciated by everyone. Incidentally, the round-table did not survive this new attraction. It was struck amidships by the first chair and disintegrated. One hundred years of use and a previously undetected case of woodworm took their toll. As part of the Centenary celebrations, the Kurverein have also very kindly installed a chairlift between the High Street and the D.H.O. office. Reps report that business has increased four-fold. The Woodpath The Wengen authorities will really have to do something about the appalling conditions to be met at the top of the woodpath during the past season. The queues to get down reached almost to the Wen- gernalp hotel in the late afternoon. We believe it was a mistake to impose a 20 km. speed limit on the woodpath. Not only has this reduced traffic to a crawl, but the Radar trap at the corner added to the congestion. Restrict the Learner skier to 20 kms. if you will, but allow the more experienced to travel at their own pace.

Congestion Which brings us to the general subject of too many people. We fully understand the humane attitude which leads to the continued rescue service which carries injured skiers off the slopes. However, with the steadily increasing hordes now descending upon Wengen, should we not take a leaf out of Bum- belalp's book and allow the disabled to die in peace on the mountains, or even use the Krudalp system, where disabled skiers are put out of their miseries with no fuss and delay. We learn that those two resorts are finding the overcrowding problem definitely eased this year.

Letters to the Editor Worm's Turn, Scratching, Essex Dear Sir, 11th April 2025 May I through the columns of your Journal congratulate the Grindelwald authorities upon the clearance of the Itramen woods. This collection of trees has always seemed to me to spoil an otherwise perfect piste from Scheidegg and M&nnlichen to Grund. With the trees finally all felled, the splendour of a piste seven kilometres wide leaves one almost breathless. Yours faithfully, DAVID MASHINGBOURNE.

Interlaken Hospital, Interlaken Dear Sir, 10th March 2025 If the Wengen authorities have determined to keep up with the Jones's and build a piste even wider than that achieved in Davos, I feel they ought to do it properly. Skiing down on my new 500 c. c. Flashes, I skiied straight into a full square yard of untracked and unpisted snow. Needless to say, this upset my equilibrium, and hence the address of this letter. Having visited most Swiss resorts over the past 15 years, I can only say that this is the first time I have ever come across uncompressed snow. It is diabolical stuff to ski on and shouldn't be allowed. Yours faithfully, JAMES CRUMB.

Page Twenty-seven RACING AND TRAINING

Race training reports are being held over because of lack of space, but will be circulated to racers. All training was carried out according to plan. In addition to the D.H.O. racers, the Austrian summer training was attended by members of the National and National Junior Teams from other clubs, whom we very much enjoyed having. The Hillend training included an open Dual Slalom kindly organised for the D.H.O. by the Hillend Race Committee to mark the opening of our Jubilee Year. In both summer training sessions we had the benefit of video tape showings each day, thanks to the British Women's Team, and to the Edinburgh Corporation. Our thanks to Toni Wimmer and Bunny Field for taking the films, and showing them back. Another improvement which should pay off is a downhill training piste for next Christmas on the Mannlichen, which will be especially valuable for those training for the Senior Championships. Thanks to the Wengernalpbahn and to Heinz Petanjek for this idea. Help has come so generously and from so many people that is not possible to mention them all. Prizes were given by Ski Tracks, Lillywhites, The Ski Shop, Victor Brown, R. E. H. Edmonds, Norman Whiteley, Frau Schertenleib, Wengen Kurverein. Mrs. Allison gave us strawberries and raspberries from her garden, Hans Kuwall gave us a film show, Mrs. Currie and Mrs. Parry-Davies helped with the bus driving, McVities gave us Ginger Nuts. Many parents helped with gatekeeping, Edith Ballantyne and above all Ruth Scott gave their time and money to giving information about the D.H.O. to ski-ing families in the Alps and much hospitality in Geneva.

John Latimer writes: WOULD just like to give you a synopsis of our racing results last year. I We again provided the Ladies Open Champion. Last year it was Helen Carmichael, this year Theresa Wallis. Theresa also won the Open Slalom. In the Junior Championships at Alpbach: Fiona Easdale won the Girls Slalom. Lucy Holmes won the Girls Giant Slalom. Niels Scott won the Boys Slalom . Robin King was 3rd in the Boys Giant Slalom. Lucy Ho]mes was 2nd in the Combined Results. Niels Scott was 2nd in the Combined Results. There was an International Race for Teams. There were 20 teams, from Austria, Italy, Jugoslavia, Switzer­ land, and G.B. Out of all these the D.H.O. team was 2nd, being beaten by a total of less than 2 seconds by a really good Austrian team. The fastest individual of all the British entries was Robin King of Geneva. This was an outstanding performance. Similarly Hazel Hutcheon of Dundee was the fastest British Girl. I have mentioned that Fiona Easdale (Gerrards Cross) won the Girls Slalom. Lucy Holmes (Geneva) was 4th, and after that we had the next five places. In the under 13 classes: Ross Blyth won the Slalom, the Giant Slalom and the Combined. Marion Perry (Glasgow) won the Slalom for Girls. Sophie Holmes (Geneva) won the Girls Combined. Ross Blyth and Sophie Holmes won awards as the most promising racers under 13. In the Kandahar Inter-Club Team Race the Girls Race was won by the D.H.O. In the Scottish Junior Championships, Kirsten Cairns (aged 10) was 2nd in the Girls Slalom, 2nd in the Giant Slalom, and 2nd in the Combined. Marion Perry was 3rd in the Slalom. Stephen Carmichael was 3rd in the Boys Giant Slalom. In the under 13 class we provided the Girl Champion, Marion Perry and also the No 2, Kirsten Cairns. Ross Blyth was 3rd among the boys. Turning to the wider world I will just mention that we provided half of the British teams which entered for the World Championships. Alan Stewart and Willie Bailey for the Men and Theresa Wallis and Jane Allison for the Girls. And, in case you think this may not mean very much, I will remind you that Theresa Wallis stands 14th in the Combined Results for Ladies in these World Games.

Page Thirty-one THREE ON THE LOOSE-Remnants of the Touring Section Paul Heller After a series of frustrating D.H.O. Tours, the main participants decided to give 1974 a miss. Nothing official was arranged. However, Gordon Cridlan, Paul Heller and myself had got into the habit of wandering round mountains in the Spring and that strange migrating instinct which causes many creatures to act oddly in the early part of the year brought us to Gstaad to take pot luck. It was a classic week, we achieved something every day, we found sunshine and glaciers full of beautiful snow - a rare mixture, we found Dole actually growing at the end of a run, we found variety. I hesitate to count the kilometres covered or the bucket bills run up. I think Paul knows where we went, so leave it to him to take up the story. Vaughan Gaskell

Saturday found us in walking kit on a 10-mile hike to Chateaux-d'Oex, which was in parts very pleasant. Finding S.fr. 6.50 for an omelette at the station buffet a bit much we settled for a couple of beers, much to the disgust of the waiter, and munched our salami in the MOB train going back to Gstaad. That evening we were joined by Vaughan who had driven out non-stop from Cheshire that day. Sunday morning the three of us, joined by Ruth's 15-year-old god-son Danny, were off on the first bucket to the Diablerets. The weather was perfect - not a cloud - only a slight haze which permitted only the very top of the Valais Alps to show their glitter­ ing peaks above the haze. The climb to the top was very pleasant and we amusedly watched Danny hauling each 5 lb. (!)-booted foot and heavy piste skis behind us. He was using a new kind of synthetic- coated stick-on skins which I can highly recommend. The run down from the top was excellent. Un­ fortunately, the top of the Olden valley is badly rutted and 'moguls' of over 5-feet are no exception. The rest of the run was good spring-snow skiing with Photo Paul Heller a most welcome beer at the bottom.

The fascinating country­ side did somewhat appease our flagging morale and yet the road continued to descend; it was now a plain road which continued on our side of the valley and as knees were getting spongier it dropped into a gorge at a 29° gradient, crossed a bridge and there, at last, was our taxi, a 'Chewy' automatic which would never have got up that hill! We flopped in and after a quick beer at Daillon drove down through sprouting vines and blossoming apricot trees to Sion. Our driver evidently gathered from our chatter that we were interested in Dole and dutifully stopped at a shop in Sion to let us collect a couple of litres of excellent wine for the hut that night. Then up to Montana, a quick 'assiette valaisanne' well washed down and off to the bucket of the Violette. It was 4 p.m. and the chap in charge blankly said "you can't go up; the Pleine Morte bucket stops at 4". I had been informed the day before that the last bucket was at 4.30 and an argument ensued, the Photo Paul Heller Page Thirty-three Daillon run advertised by the Gstaad post-bus service we soon had a party organised with Danny, son Peter, Bob Eden with son and daughter.

Conditions were as good as ever and we took pains to demonstrate to the eleven-strong ski-school party what disciplined skiing

This time we kept even more to the right of the stream at the bottom, getting quite a bit lower down and spent a hilarious half-hour getting the whole party across the stream. What surprised us most pleasantly was to find the pub at Roua open and the bus waiting at 11.30 a.m. to take us back to Gstaad. It was well worth the cost (Fr. 36 including the bucket to the Sex Rouge!) From my chalet I have longingly studied a mountain called the Gstellihorn described in my SAC guide book as "a very well-worth spring tour". It only has a nasty steep gully at the beginning which one also has to come down again. I showed it to Vaughan and that evening he volunteered to in­ Photo Paul Heller vestigate. We duly set out on Saturday at 5 a.m., upshot of which was that ten minutes later we were Gordon opted out and Peter came instead.

A gale built up during the night but the wind was coming from the South and we woke to a clear sky. By 8 a.m., we had cleared and locked the hut and scratched down an icy run to the Rawyl pass. We had planned to go up the Schneidejoch but, in my keenness to keep a high line, I held too much to the right and, what with the cold gusty wind in our faces, we turned into the gully and went up the Schneidehorn instead with the sound of two irate voices behind me complaining that the b .. . man doesn't know the difference between a 'Joch' and a 'Horn'. From the top we looked across to the Wild- horn which had the appearance of the top slope of the Mannlichen after a very crowded week-end. The run down was uneventful over a rather minced 'piste'. Gordon was getting tired and Vaughan went on ahead. Three very tired but happy skiers flopped into the taxi at Iffigen, which Vaughan had conjured up with the help of the army, and pub-crawled home to Gstaad. A rest on Thursday with a walk in the surrounding hills whetted our appetites for more, and seeing the Photo Paul Heller Page Thirty-four CURLERS' SUPPLEMENT WENGEN CURLING CLUB INSTITUTED 1911

Page Thirty-seven Of the sixty books Arnold Lunn produced most OBITUARIES will agree that his "Mountains of Youth" written fifty years ago, was among the best. He loved his glacier skiing and his gifted imagery transports us to those remote alpine glens to witness the transition from winter to spring when "the hills once more are full of music, the happy litanies of streams no longer muted by the frost". Of particular interest to Wengeners is the account of his direct ski descent from the North Eigerjoch to Scheidegg and one can envisage him in later years sitting by his window in Murren tracing his route and reliving that great day of half-a-century ago. But his most quoted passage comes at the end of the chapter on "A Ski Tour in May" which describes four perfect days spent among the Oberland glaciers in 1918 with three Army officers as companions. "All other hill memories seem dim besides, all the con­ ditions were just right — perfect companionship, perfect skiing and perfect views. Never the time and the place and the loved one all together. Well hardly ever. Three parts of Spring's delightful things will always be present but the fourth part will be lacking until time and tide reunite among the hills of Spring, the four friends who linked their turns down the snows of the Oberaar yesterday many years ago. Perhaps the four of us will get together for another May run when we have gone over to the other side. We shall never get all the conditions right again in this life for my friends are dead. But they will be there to welcome me when I cross my last pass". He first married in 1913 Lady Mabel Northcote celebrating their honeymoon with a winter ascent together of both the Monch and the greater part of Photo Universal Pictorial Press the Jungfrau. Theirs was a perfect partnership until her death in 1959. Men are rarely so lucky twice in a lifetime but he was doubly fortunate when he married A.L. in 1961 Phyllis Holt-Needham of whom his obituary in "The Times" said "looked after him and pro­ 1888 -1974 longed his life and energies by her care".

Some great skiers thought they could emulate him but they always moved a little further down and seldom managed to hold the extreme pressures at the end of this immense descent. I have seen him sprain an ankle on a glacier — sleep in the hut with his boot on because he knew if he took it off he could not get it on again next morn- — and continue skiing all the next day. He was courageous and disregarded pain. He was a patriot. He believed passionately in Brit­ ain and our way of life. To travel with him was a joy but not always the same to the guards, porters and officious station masters whom he loved to confuse and pull their legs in the gentlest way. In the end he was crippled by arthritis from the many knocks which he sustained during his athletic triumphs. He will be missed, for he was a unique man. M.A.
