...activity is most frantic at Colorado's $13 million Snowmass-at-Aspen, far and away the biggest new winter resort to be developed since Alec Gushing (TIME cover, Feb. 9, 1959) built up Squaw Valley for the 1960 Olympics. At Snowmass, Bill Janss, 49, a millionaire Los Angeles land developer and onetime U.S. Olympic Team skier, has carved out 2,000 acres of slopes with 50 miles of trails and five double-chair lifts on Mount Baldy (13,-162 ft.), which have already matched the ski area of the three nearby mountains served by the town of Aspen proper...

Johnson, in turn, agreed in principle to make some $40 million in economic aid available to the Kabul government in the next fiscal year-which would bring overall...
...Forest, the 20-man "safari" struck out up a narrow, wooded trail for three miles, then broke out on top at 10,000 ft. onto untouched snow fields. Under blue skies and a dazzling sun, sportsmen zigged and zagged lazily back down the mountain, through pine trees and leafless aspen, pausing only for a lunch of coffeecake and hot chocolate in an alpine meadow. Meanwhile, at Lancaster, N.H., the emphasis was on all-out action: 121 competitors, vying for 56 trophies and cash prizes, slammed through bone-jarring, cross-country or downhill obstacle races...
