The early date for Easter this year makes spring seem more reluctant than ever to take hold in New England.

I hope the ski buffs saw Frank Kappler's article in the March 17 issue of Life on the Grand Tetons in Wyoming and particularly the superb skiing at the lackson Hole Ski_ Area. Frank went on location for this assignment and didn't miss the opportunity to ski test the slopes which drop 4,125 feet and vary in length from three to seven miles. The article is just another way for Frank to proclaim a mountain is a work of art.
