WINTER SPORTS IN MANY LANDS
Switzerland no longer has a monopoly whore winter sports are _ concerned. Austria has proved a formidable during recent years, and France, Italy,' Germany, Poland. Norway, Sweden, and Czecho-Slovakia are all developing resorts with special attractions for the winter-sporter. That is in Europe, but the lure of winter sports is making itself felt much farther afield, and is being catered for. Canada can offer visitors from Europe all the thrills of the Alps, plus snowshoeing and sleighing in a dog-drawn sleigh, and the toboggan run on Sulphur Mountain, in the Rockies, is one of the finest in the world. The Canadian Bookies, indeed, may presently be the world's most famous pleasure-ground. " Fifty or sixty Switzerlands rolled into one!" is how the Canadians describe this wonderland of winter sports. Even India can offer ski-ing, skating, and tobogganing, and Gulmarg, in Kashmir, is. rapidly becoming known as a winter sports centre. New Zealand caa also offer its sJiare of attractions.
