The'Hollyburn Pacific SkiiClub During theiisst, few weeks Hollyburn Ridge snd conse- quently West Vancouver have received a good deal of the very best kind'of advertising as a result of the eff'ops of the Hollyburn Pacific Ski Club. Certain members of this club left Iihere a few short weeks ago to compete in the various winter sports meets in the interior and washington. They have al- ready piled up an impressive list of victories, and the name of the Hollyburn Pacific Ski Club of )Vest Vancouver must be very well known in many, places by a"large number of people up and down the.'Pacific Coast. &Last year they carried the colors of their club equallv high as far south as Portland and won--which is much ~ more i important--a i fine, reputation for clean sportsmanship. This year they, particularly proved'heir mettle by ski-jumping over a hill at one interior meet which II other competitors shirked on account of its steepness. Canadians, faced in most parts of their country with a hard 'inter,'havealways been to the fore in.winter, sports. While skiing is~comparatively new in Canada, iit'has undoubtedly come to stay and its devotees are gradually increasing in rium- bers every year. iIt demands of those who take it up, strength and stamina and a'colclirierve, the things which'appealipar- ticularly to the British peoples. True,:the crack performers of the Hollyburn Pacific and other clubs are at present mainly Scandinavians,'but under. their teaching the young Canadians are proving very apt pupils. It is therefore vexed fortunate that ive have the Hollyburn Pacific Ski Club in our midst." It means that the name of our municipality, is being broacast far and wide as a winter sports ground. It means that in a feiv years we shall~have a'large number of winter visitors here to enjoy the pleasures of Holly: ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ burn Ridge, snd in this connection the example of St. Moritz./ II~in, Switzerlandi shouldt teach~ us here to take care of itheir , wants. But, most important of all, it means one more xeasonIIi if any shouldibe:needed, for, the setting aside'of Hollyburri Ridge as a national park. lII cvllcguofurg vv'e If imp iAv 13'avgc Lv pconvxiiiM wztf+ r.i as .g dom'or.accuracy. the xxames of these Scandinavians.who have so unostentatiously come down from our high places to, carry the name of Hollyburn to victory, before the world, but'what's g in a name anyhow'?,; They have iproved) themselves to Ibe,'portsmenin every sense of the word snd we can snd should/ be properly grateful to them for the good work they are doing in forwarding the best interests of West iVancouver.
