His first professional job was as lead singer for Johnny Jenkins and the Pinetoppers, though he never had a hit in association with them. His first success was with "These Arms of Mine."

Since last winter, new resorts have blossomed at Alpental, Wash., 55 miles east of Seattle in the Cascades, and at Bear Valley, Calif., a remote area in the northern Sierras that boasts the record U.S. annual snowfall-73 ft. in the winter of 1906-07. At Alta, Utah, a 5,100-ft.-long lift has been added to open up the powder-rich Albion Basin, until now accessible only by climbing on skis. Vail, Colo., has developed a whole...
