Record Ski Run.
BRIAN MURPHY, Dawson Falls, skied from the top of Mount Egmont to Fantham’s Peak during the week-end. This is the first time the feat has' been accomplished, and it caused a great deal of interest among mountain enthusiasts who visited Syme Hut. The whole trip took him about five minutes for a drop of over 2000 feet. Mr Murphy is an accomplished ski-runner. This season he has won the Ruapehu, Taranaki and Egmont championships. He did not compete at the New Zealand championships. The only feat comparable with Mr Murphy’s was performed by Mr Alf Brustad, then of the Hermitage, about two years. He skied down the slopes of Fantham’s Peak.
