THE
SKI SEASON OF 1935-36 was, without doubt,
the most successful we have yet experienced. \\'e
boastEd 85 senior and 20 junior members.
Our dream of a jumping tower was realized this year.
Standing 50 feet high and overlooking the picturesque
St. Maurice River, it affords an excellent opportunity
for both novice and experienced jumper to try their'
hand at this thrilling sport. Unofficial leaps of over
100 feet were made, but the actual jumping record is.
held by Stanley Dufresne, the stocky lad from the
Three Rivers Ski Club, who jumped 92 feet on two>
occasions during the St. Maurice Valley Zone Championships to annex the jumping title.
On the inauguration day of our ski jump, the
neighbouring clubs of Three Rivers and Shawinigan.
Falls were kind enough to send us some of their best
jumpers, so that altogether over 25 jumpers, including
our own, showed how thrilling sl<i-jumping is to an
excited crowd of over ],000 spectators, most of whom
were witnessing this sport for the first time. Stanley
Dufresne, Three Rivers, also won t.his event, which was·
followed by a splendid hanquet for the jumpers and
officials of the attending clubs.
K. Gill, of our club, took first place in the Shawinigan
Falls cross-country race.
He also took first place in.
the slalom held by that club, second berth going to Jim
Simms, also of our club.
Two of our girl members,
Misses B. and T. Trottier, took first and second honors,
respectively, in the ladies' cross-country at Shawinigafll
Falls. In the St. Maurice Valley Zone Championships,
K. Gill again showed his heels to the other runners in
the cross-country race held in Grand'Mere. Jim Simms,
of our c!,:b, placed second in the jumping feature of that
competItIon.
The)umping championship of our city was captured
by J . Pmard, who for a first year jumper has developed
marvellous form. The cross-country was, as expected,
won bv K. Gill, who led the other runners home bv a
margi~ of seven minutes over a five -mile course.
"
Our expenses for the construction of the jump were
very high, and credit is due to the directors and
officers of the club who met all difficult situations, and
steered u s safely through the year.
Thanks are
due to the friends of the club, also to the honorary
members, who did more to help us than they will
l2.0ssihly dream. We became an active member "of the
C.A.S.A., thus getting the two reglementarv votes for'
that classification.
Incidentally, the C .A.S.A. has
handed us the St. Maurice Valley Championships for
next year, so you skiers from Quebec, Montreal and
other towns get your skis all rigged up and come down.
to Grand'Mere in the first week of February, 1937.
We'll do Our level best to show you a good time. our
jump tower will have been improved, and we feel sure
that you will not regret your visit.
