Lac Beauport, Quebec
Ski Paradise .:

;r..a3.fi• /0 f;iv c.
to keep fit" has become
w7 something of a wartime
slogan in the ranks of Canadian
and American sports enthusiasts,
many of whom . are combining
this timely impulse with the joys
ofunbounded ski sport on the
hills 'of Lae Beauport, nine miles
from Quebec City, or in the An-
cient Capital itself where facili-
ties for skiing, skating, tobog-
ganing, sleigh riding and snow -
shoeing are all contributing to
the joys of Quebec's winter
season.
Accessible by heated bus from
the Chateau Frontenac, popular
headquarters for American and
Canadian visitors, the gleaming
"avow -bowl' with its facilities
for every type of ski sport, has
lately acquired front page pro-
minence in -the North American
ski .world.' And this year, with
skiing featuring so' prominently
in military manoeuvres, as well
as in civilian sport life, Lac Beau -
port is expecting more ski action
on its bilis than ever before.
Briefly, the Lae Beauport lay-
out offers the following attrac-
tions: Twin. downhill and slalom
runs that sweep,2,200 feet down
the slopes of Mont Saint Castin;
a 4,000 -foot downhill and 1,000 -
foot slalom on neighboring Mont
Tourbillon, a professional ski
jump, two up-to-date ski -tows,
an attractive new chalet, and the
8, -tulle Sky Line Trail. These fea-
tures combined withslopesand
trails of all shapes and sizes, and
snow whose quantity is matched
only.by its powdery quality, com-
bine to produce a matchless ski
setting for beginners and experts
alike. '
Interest 'in Lac Beauport and
Quebec has been further kindled
this year by the publication of
"Parallel Skiing", a 96 -page trea-
tise by E. Fritz Loosii, celebrated
instructor pf the Chateau Fron-
tenac Ski Hawk School, whose
parallel technique is concisely
presented in word and illustra-
tion. The Swiss -Canadian ski
maestro, who according to many
American and Canadian ski aspi-
rants, has "taken the drudgery
out of ski instruction," has
•
achieved remarkable results with
his parallel methods and his
school has a large and enthusias-
tic following.
The importance of Quebec and
Lac Beauport in tee North Are-
eriean ski -picture is further re-
flected in the variety of all -ex-
pense tours being operated this
winter by the Canadian Pacific
Railway between Boston, New
York, Detroit, Toronto and Que-
bec City, including generous stop-
overs at the Chateau Frontenac.
Neither do American visitors
overlook the fact that their
money is worth 10 per cent more
in Canada and that their tourist
dollars contribute to a common
cause.
Keeping fit to win the war is
sound advice, and the favorite
prescription of hundreds of Am-
ericans and Canadians for attain-
ing this fitness is now being
written in ski tracks on the
snows of Lac Beauport.
Illustrations show Fritz Loosli
in action; a glimpse of the run
