...cubic meters were dumped on the ski courses; another 20,000 cubic meters were set aside for "emergency withdrawals." Six huge snowmaking machines, imported from the U.S., worked night and day, spraying ice crystals on the bobsled and sled runs. Finally, last week, Austria's own Toni Sailer, who won all three Alpine skiing events at the 1956 Olympics, took a trial run down the men's down hill, pronounced it "fantastic-like out of a test tube"-and all of Innsbruck heaved a mighty sigh of relief...

Toni, a Pasadena high school senior and very likely the world's fastest teenager, held a pace of 1,325-1,350 m.p.h., with Dad as her copilot-and Dad is Supersonic Flight Pioneer A. W.
