SUMMER tourists today can be grateful to skiing, the sport which 

 has made it possible for them to reach mountain tops hith- 

 erto beyond reach except for the nimble-footed. The skimobile, 

 the aerial tramway, and chair lifts designed to give thrill-bent 

 skiers the most of a day's running down the snowy landscape are 

 growing popular during the warm months. 



Throughout this country's snowbelt the lofty Presidential 

 Range of New Hampshire to the Cascades of Washington 

 these uphill contrivances are heavily used to lift visitors easily 

 and comfortably, sitting down, to new worlds with breath-taking 

 vistas.
