...Contentment. To Americans, Quebec's best-known resort is Mont Tremblant, where lodge, inn and 60 cottages are laid out like a French Canadian village. Joseph ("Emperor Joe") Ryan, Philadelphia-born grandson of famed Thomas Fortune Ryan, has sunk $2,000,000 in Mont Tremblant since 1938, now grosses $600,000 a year from rates ranging from $7 to $14 a day (with meals...
Near Mont Tremblant's slopes and mile-long chair lift is the plushy Manoir Pinoteau, which features French cooking. A short run away is a more typical Laurentian resort: Gray Rocks Inn, a sprawling, homey frame house where the food is substantial, the rates low ($5 to $7 a day, including meals), and good slopes and trails start at the back door. There, as in most of the lodges, expert and duffer alike turn out for ski-school lessons at rates which average $2 for a half-day. There are scores of others, from the stucco Chalet Cochand...
...much to expect that the "Progressive's" first voyage into the non-political field would be entirely successful. Two short, unsigned poems, "Dream Work" and "Projections," are bright and clever, but a short story, "The Damned," and a review of the French film, "It Happened at the Inn," are both weak. The story, which concerns the revelation of a crime committed by a just-buried and much-respected member of a farm community, is clumsy and underdeveloped.

...frightened Willy to enjoy the Alpine spring. "There was still snow upon the summit of the Lady in White, which rose over the dark lake, dwarfing it as the cathedral tower dwarfs the rain puddle. . . ." While a detachment of U.S. troops is making a bordello out of the village inn, the SS men descend from the pine forests to seize Gustave and the Wiedemeyers...
...fever, which afflicted only a few thousand people 15 years ago and now strikes nearly 3,000,000, was still rising. In New Hampshire, where skiing is good business as well as good fun, there were 52 tows, aerial tramways(and a skimobile) operating; the previous high: 35. Every inn and farmhouse near Vermont's famed runs (among them: Suicide Six, Nose Dive, John Doe's Misery) was heavily booked, at from $2 to $20 a day. This week, the season's first ski train chugged out of Boston's North Station...
