residents should have more than a casual interest in the Canadian Icefields Ski expe dition of One of the mem bers of the expedition is Ted Pope Landing Mr and Mrs Pope and moved to Holland Landing in the fall when they purchased the former residence of Mr and John Meyer Mr Meyer preceded J Struth- as the editor of the Era and Express which rij sists of seven men and one wo man left from Lake on its 200mile trek in the Canadian Rockies last Thursday But bad weather and food shortage may call a bait to the trip Tii original plans were for the ski party to cover the dist ance from Jasper to Hector BC along the windswept ridge of the Great Divide Travelling on skis the group planned to be first to travel the danger- strewn miles through a I maze of glaciers peaks icefields ravines towers battle- and other wonders of the Rockies Eight separate ice fields are to be crossed before the party emerges at the end of three weeks at Hector near Lake Louise The original plans called for the dropping of five caches of food by airplane at intervals along the proposed route prior to the expedition leaving on April Bad weather interfered with these preparations so that when the eight Ontario skiers left only one cache had been dropped It was a sfxday supply at Fortress Lake The expedition left on April with each in the party shoulder- a 47pound pack They car ried supplies for six days Slew- art Ames the Banff pilot who was to drop four other food caches made new arrangements with Peter Bennett Oakville the leader of the safari Following the groups departure he was to drop the remaining caches of food supplies but again bad weather this past week has pre vented this Guide for the ski expedition Austrian Tony Kiel 1 was to have been flown over the route after the dropping of the food so that he would know exactly where that wilderness of ice and snow the precious food bundles were located i Until definite word is receiv ed by the skiers that the food has been dropped successfully and their guide has inspected the route they are to remain at Fortress Lake until the ninth morning If both these condi tions had not been fulfilled they would be forced to turn back Tomorrow is the deciding day and the weather forecasts have not been encouraging go ahead regardless and hope for the best the leader of the expedition said as they left on April If our pilot in Banff manages to drop the other four caches he is to leave a mes sage at Fortress Lake but that wont solve our problems Be cause snow can hide these boxes we couldnt proceed without knowing exactly where they were Its a must that Tony the guide fly over the route and have them pointed out Other members of the ski ex pedition include Peter Austin and his wife Peggy a former Canadian ski champion Ances tor Dr Alan Bruce Robertson Murray and Pat all of Toronto The night before their departure on their 200mile trip Mr Pope slept outside at Jasper Park to try out his sleeping bag It was cold he
