SKI-RUNNING

WINTER SPORTS CLUB’S SLALOM EVENTS Tricky snow for skl-ing was experienced on the lower grounds at Mount Cheeseman during the week-end, when the men’s and women’s championship slalom race£ of the Canterbury Winter Sports Club were held. The men’s event was won by W. M. Platts, and the women’s by Miss Laura Loughnan. The men’s course, set down Luncheon Gully, consisted of fairly wide open turns in the top half, including an inclined flush. The lower half of the course was somewhat more restricted, a straight flush giving into a corridor in the final stages. The women’s course was on an s easier slope. Platts ran consistently and evenly both times. Results were:— Men’s Championship Slalom W. M. Platts, aggregate time 2min 43 2-ssec (two penalties) .. .. 1 A. H.
