Beside each stamp js an ~ explanation of how accurately the sport is represented in terms of the equipment worn and the form exhibited by the skier. The display includes stamps from such unexpected places as Spain, Togo and Arabia.. One corner of the museum is devoted to the story of Herman (Jackrabbit) Smith- Johannsen who, now a centen- arian, still enjoys cross-country skiing. He moved to Canada from the United States during the depression, and in the early 1930s cut the Maple Leaf Trail from Shawbridge to Mont Tremblant, Que., a distance of 90 miles. Photographs illustrate various skiing techniques and the birth of the ski tow. The first tow was used in Shaw- bridge, Que. on Jan. 1, 1933, when Alex Foster rigged a car wheel to a tree by means of a rope and pulley. This was quickly dubbed “Yo-Yo" skiing as the skiers seemed to spend all their time going up and down. The National Ski Museum, which opened in May, 1971, is still in its infancy. Curator, Kathi, Telfer notes that a number of articles are in storage waiting until more space is available so they can be’ properly displayed. Full of en- thusiasm, she says of the museum, “It's whatever we can make it,” S So far, she has made it an appealing | display of the history of skiing in Europe and North -America, including ‘a special ‘exhibition commemorating « Olympi ic “skiing. Among other things it includes a history and pictures of Canada's Olympic ski teams through the years. The National Ski Museum is open all year and admission is free.
