Regarding the alpine competition at the 4th-8th Jingu Tournament, we will clarify the participation of the players in the local qualifying and final rounds, the preparations for the event, and the state of the 6th and 8th Jingu Tournament and the championship. The following has been clarified.
1. Except for non-snowy areas in southwestern Japan Downhil（l 1928） and slaom（ 1930） were carried out nationwide in local qualifying, so it is thought that the number of athletes in the Alpine event has spread year by year. As for the characteristics of the results, the superiority of Shinetsu, who has the tradition of Alpine since Lerch, was remarkable.
2. After the venue for the final round was decided, the preparation for the competition was entrusted to a leading ski organization in the region, but it was a national event by the chief of the Ministry of Interior, and the support of the responsible road and prefecture was obtained. It is probable that preparations for the event were made well.
3. It was found that a tournament that doubles as both tournaments was held between the 6th Jingu Tournament and the championship, and that the federation decided to host the tournament as a tournament that doubles as the 8th tournament of the previous year in 1937.
4. The number of athletes who participated in the Alpine competition by 1932 increased nationwide, and the federation also gained experience in preparing for the event, indicating that it was possible to hold the event.
