Ski theft on Vermont slopes overblown or real concern

The Banner finds ski theft reports in Vermont relatively modest with 237 in 1964 and 276 in 1965, 26 so far in 1966, while area managers credit most alleged thefts to carelessness. Shops note occasional stolen rentals, but many cases are resolved when owners identify missing skis. Sources cite security measures at Bromley Stratton and Magic Mountain and a shift toward social skiing.

Avalanche Menace Through Centuries Threatens Skiers

The report recalls avalanches from Austria in 1877 that felled over 100000 trees to the deaths of thousands of mountain troops in World War I. It notes a Pontresina slide burying over 100 children and a Swiss Alps glacier surge in August past a hydroelectric project burying men and machinery.
