COLUMN This may not be a seasonable time to discuss skiing that sport which has grown in popularity in these Dominions by the proverbial leaps and bounds But it might be as good a time as any to discuss a skier destined for even more fame than he has already acquired who started his career on the long blades when he was only eight years old Were always intrigued by those stories of athletes who have devoted their lives to perfecting technique in their favorite sport and a young man named Ernie native of the little Quebec city of Three Rivers undoubtedly comes in that category Here we believe Is one of the really great Canadian athletes of our time and even though warm suns are shining on the grass and the trees are In leaf we feel we should devote a column to singing his praises climaxed a brilliant career last winter when he captured the skiing Grand Slam never accomplished before by Canadian American or European for that matter His phenomenal feat began when he captured the National Giant Slalom at Alta Utah followed with a smashing victory in the Aspen North American championships He went on from there to capture top honors in the National Downhill championships at White Fish Montana and his final triumph was in the Cup at Sun Valley When you consider he was competing against the very best In North America and a field that included a sprinkling of former European champions you get a quick vision of his greatness When began his skiing career at the ripe age of eight years he started practice jumping on a hill behind his home and by the end of his first season was jumping 40 feet By the time he was he had already captured school boy jumping meets in Montreal Toronto Quebec City and Ottawa The long lean youngster already had made a name for himself in the Three Rivers Ski Club with a record jump of feet At this stage of the game began slalom and downhill work At he entered the downhill race in the Quebec City championships and finished second Theres no such thing as skiing cautiously with Ernie Its gogogo from start to finish His record of seconds down the precipitous slopes of Mount Baldy in Sun Valley is still a challenge for other stars One young racer who completed the gruelling grind in a little over a minute re marked 1 dont see how anybody could possibly have gone faster than I did today without breaking his neck Ernie didnt break his neck but was a full four seconds better than the aspirant to his title Ill Ernie rode to International glory on specially- designed skis He beat the entire French team consisting of Henri George Panisse and won the cup again this year and If he wins again becomes the only skier in history to take the award three times All this being so we thought wed write a column about great Canadian
