This Section of tho Laurentian Mountains, stretching out for miles on both sides of tho Canadian Pacific Railway lino between Shawbridgo and Labelle; has hills and moun tains of all shapes and sizes, well developed facilities for competi tive and pleasure ski-ing and ac commodation ranging from luxury hotels to modest.French-Canadian pension^ .* Thft skf-lng as' a major winter sport In Canada is •ynonymous with the Laurentian Mountains' popularity as a winter playground. Tho growth o£ win ter travel to tho Laurentian ski- gtound is best shown by rail traf fic figures, since highway travel is negligible because of the deep snow* A dozen years ago it was a big weok-end if 1,000 people went to the mountains; and few of them were skiers. Last winter tho Canadian Pacific Railway took 143,500 skiers to the Laurontlaris on week-end ski trains. This win ter approximately 20 regular and special Canadian Pacific ski trains will take nearly 10,000 skiers to tho LaurChtiatis every week-end* Real reason for the develop ment of tho district Into Canada’s favorite ski-ground, in addition to its nearness to Montreal and its facilities and terrain, is the hap py routo of the Canadian Pacific Railway through the heart of the mountains. The railway stations aro within a few miles of each other all along the line, making cross-country ski-ing a dolightful aavonturo posibie in hard or easy stages for skiers of all ages. Then there is sport for skiers of every degree of aptitude because of the varied offerings of wooded and open country, slopes at every imaginable angle, hundreds of miles of marked ski trails up hill and down dale, cleared hills with ski towns to eliminate the climb back, ski jumps and breath taking. . downhill funs fof competitions.
