SKI CLUB SEEKING
SURPLUS EQUIPMENT
Members of the Matanuska Ski
Club are seeking ski equipment
no longer being used. There are
a number of youths interested in
learning to ski who do not own
equipment. The initial cost of
new equipment, which includes
boots, skis, ski bindings and ski
poles, is more than many can
spare at one time. To ski safely
it is a necessity that the skier
have regulation ski boots and
preferable that he have skis of
proper length.
The new ski tow in the Little
Susitna ski area is open and in
operation each Saturday and Sun
day throughout the day. Many
young people are interested in
learning to ski. Persons having
any type ski equipment which
they would be willing to donate
to the club for lending to these
youths, or those who have equip
ment they wish to sell to others,
may contact any member of the
club, or call PI-3675 evenings.
