SPORT AT DAWSON FALLS

SKI TRACK IN GOOD ORDER

A ski-ing party consisting of members of the Mt. Egmont Alpine Club, had an excellent day’s sport on the Dawson Falls ski track yesterday. The weatheir conditions were ideal, and the track had a heavy coating of snow, which enabled the members to indulge in much useful practice. No climbing was done on the south side of the mountain, but with snow up to their thighs' two men ascended co the summit from the North Hostel, the climb taking 51 hour-s. The snow was level with the walls of rock, probably six feet high, on the track along the razor’back, below Humphries Castle. The climbers had expected to find it hardened by' frost, but the warm ,sun had softened it, with tine that the climbers found thei going extremely difficult; There was a large number of visitors a.t. the northern hostel yesterday. The weather was delightful and the fourfeet drifts were freely used as ammunition for snowballing.
