PCOL REPORT
Pool report from bottom of chairlift number 1 as the President began
skiing.
The President arrived about 2 p.m. accompanied by several Secret
Service men on skis. The President also was on skis. They walked
on the skis from the Bass house to the bottom of the lift where the
President waded into a crowd of about 100 persons.
He wore a bright orange parka, dark stretch pants, red boots and
orange and white stocking cap. He appeared to be in excellent spirits.
The lift took off suddenly and he almost lost his balance, but he regained
his balance, waved and soon disappeared into the mist and snow.
A Secret Service agent accompanied the President on the lift otherwise
the Secret Service was inconspicuous.
"It's great to be out here," Mr. Ford said before boarding the chairlift.
The President was relaxed, seemed to handle himself well and comfortably
on the sk.s as he walked or skated over from the Bass house.
