Que T>ani'f in winter and a complete abandonment to the ■L* joys of winter sports are synonymous. Thousands of people in all parts of the world have happy memories of Banff in summer time. Fewer people know of the joys of Banff in winter but this famed mountain resort at this season of the year is becoming widely popular. The great annual winter carnival there has become a classic, and is beginning to draw its regular devotees as does the Mardi Gras at New Orleans and the P,ose Tournament at Pasadena. During the week of February 5 to 12 Banff will once again be the scene ox one of the most brilliant winter carnivals on the continent. The climate is ideal for every type of winter sport. The most expert skiers and snow-shoers on the continent will be present to take part in the many competitions. The exeell-ert ski-jumps that are erected at Banff will provide a test for the most expert in this art. Fancy skaters will display their graceful art on the rinks, which will also be the scene of many an exciting hockey game. Tennis too is played on ice there. It is a new experiment in winter sports but provides plenty of thrills. Ski-joring, tobogganing, dojr sled driving, swimming in the hot sulnhcr pools on S.nlpher mountain, are just a few of the attractions of Banff dur- ing the carnival. The scenery setting has not its equal In the world. What Quebec City means to the east for its winter sports, Banff means to the west. Calgary recently abandoned her winter carnival to join forces with the mountain resort. Instead of going to sleep for th« winter like the bears that roam the near-by mount-tains, Banff keeps awake and with the coming of the snows takes on a new lease of life. Visitors come from every part of the world.. Ice palaces are built and the town takes on a gay and festive appearance. The inset shows the Carnival Queen, Miss Mary Cross. The championship dog derby to "The Top of the World and Back" will be an outstanding event of the carnival. This event has become annual and provides the longest and most thrilling dog race in the world, being 173 miles in length and exceeding the famous Pas Derby by 23 miles. The handsome Strongheart trophy and substantial cash prizes attract the most expert dog-mushers on the continent. The finest and most picturesque toboggan slide in the Dominion is in operation at Banff this season. It is located high up on the side of Sulpher mountain and the start can readily be reached by motor car. Situated but a short distance from the curling club and skating rink, visitors will be able to alternate be-tween these amusements. Mr. Harold Hinman of Queen's University, Kingston, is home for the holidays. Mr. and Mrs. Roy Brown of Hilton, spent Christmas with Mr. and Mrs. . Hoar. To the readers of The Express, we wish you one and all a very Happy New Year. Mr. and Mrs. Wallace Onyon spent Christmas Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. J. Onyon.
