If you are so tangled up in a fall that it is almost impossible to get out, just undo a binding, slip off a Ski and get up easily with a free foot to stand on.
She heard a splash, knew that the overhang of snow had dropped into the river, knew that one ski was hanging over the brink. And then the hand that had gripped at the smooth snow sank down and clutched the top of a small, hidden pine, she drew herself up and back and in a moment, white, shaking she lay still, not daring to look down.
The Ski-ing is well organized by the local club, and there are 1st-class Ski Instructors, as well as Certificated Guides. The rinks are well kept and the Klosters run of old renown is maintained in good condition for tobogganing or bobbing. There is quite a good Ski map to be obtained locally, but the Ordnance Map should be used as well. Skis can be hired locally.
He guided his dog team up under the very window out of which Ski had taken the bear, for the man could see Ski's footprints in the snow. "There! Now I am done with you!" whispered Ski's father, as he dropped the Plush Bear in the snow and turned his dog team around to go back to his igloo.
The Crystal Palace at present reminds one strongly of a grocer's and chandler's store pemmican, biscuits, chocolate, and milk-sausage, lie about everywhere. In the other wall, opposite the ski, there is an opening. I see my companion making for it, but this time I intend to keep an eye on him. He goes up two steps, pushes a trap-door, and there he stands on the Barrier but I am there, too.

A poor start, but the gradient and wind improving, we did 6 1/2 miles before night camp. There is no getting away from the fact that we are not going strong. Probably none of us: Wilson's leg still troubles him and he doesn't like to trust himself on ski; but the worst case is Evans, who is giving us serious anxiety. This morning he suddenly disclosed a huge blister on his foot.
In this dilemma Crean volunteered to try and reach Scott, and after traveling a great distance and leaping from floe to floe, he found a thick floe from which with the help of his ski stick he could climb the Barrier face. 'It was a desperate venture, but luckily successful.
The face of Haskin's Hill was divided by a road that wound across it. Because of the steep descent of the upper part and because the level stretch of the road made a jump too high for anyone's liking, only one or two of the boys had attempted to ski from the very top, and they had met with humiliating disaster. Jerry looked up to the top of the hill. Ginny's tone fired her.
