...else fails, the irate skier has no choice but to play "Head them off at the pass." When a vacationer at Treasure Mountain Resort, Utah, discovered that his skis had been swiped while he was buying a Chap Stick, he hopped into his car, took a short cut to the spot where the ski road meets the highway. As each car stopped for the traffic, he counted the number of skis on top, paired them off with the passengers until he found a car with one too many pair of skis. He was back on the slopes for a final...
...this honeymoon drew a bit of attention, even in sophisticated St. Moritz. The bridegroom, Greek Shipping Magnate Stavros Niarchos, 56, was spending practically all his time skiing with Eugenie Livanos, who divorced him only last December after 18 years of marriage. Meanwhile, the girl he had eloped with, Avid Skier Charlotte Ford, 24, was spending her days in and around the bridal suite of St. Moritz' Palace Hotel. At last Charlotte explained that she had a legitimate reason for not joining the fun on the slopes. She expects a baby this summer...
Wrap-Around Masts. For those who were lucky enough to have booked early, there is deer and jaguar hunting in the jungles nearby, marlin off the coast, and for jaded water-skiers the sport called "water-parachuting," in which a skier, hanging onto a rope behind a speedboat, is lifted into the air a hundred feet or so by a special parachute, then is cut loose to settle gently into the water again. And for all, from morning till night, there is the sun. When it sets, there are the parties, two and often three a night. They begin late...
...Dozier determined that his stars must be absolute dogs. Accordingly, he handed immobile-faced Adam West the Batman role and directed him to give the cameras "eternal squareness, rigidity." The instructions, from the evidence, were hardly necessary. To play Robin, Dozier chose Burt Ward, a 20-year-old water skier whose reading of "Gleeps!" will not be matched in this age, moving one acting teacher to call Batman "a film anthology of things not to do." For arch-villains in subsequent episodes, Dozier has signed Burgess Meredith (The Penguin) and Cesar Romero (The Joker). The talk of the trade...
Most fascinating innovation is the water skier's first do-it-yourselfer, Roto-motive Industries' Ski-Craft ($795). It consists of a 24-h.p. engine mounted on a streamlined flotation raft that pulls along the skier at the end of 8-ft.-long handles. The skier controls the speed with a hand throttle; if he takes a spill, this releases the throttle, stopping the engine and bringing the craft to a halt within a few feet...
