Too Much Snow Postponed First Ski Club Trip January 12th was the first snow on Mt. Lemmon this year, but a ski club trip was postponed because there was too much snow and the roads were im- passable. However, members bounced back from that disap- pointment when they were promised a skiing week- end in Flagstaff at the Snow Bowl. The desert skiiersi' hold meetings all through the year and usually see a movie featuring certain tech- niques or ski slopes in different parts of the world. Also, two dry-land ski lessons are required for every member before taking to snow and students are often seen on Saturday mornings sliding down grassy hills on campus. Since last year, four pairs of skis and 22 pairs of boots have been added to the club's set of equipment. Yet there is still a shortage and most members must rent their equipment from the Mt. Lemmon lodge if they don't own their own equipment. iiiim. ws., --
