Logic Problems - Alpine Mountain Skiing

Alpine Mountain Skiing
by Shelly Hazard

Five couples visited the Alpine Mountain resort on Saturday for a day of downhill skiing. The weather was perfect, clear and crisp, and the couples had a wonderful time. Each couple skied down one slope they were familiar with and down one new slope. The slopes all varied in difficulty level. Determine the full name of each couple, the new slope each couple skied down, and the difficulty level of the slopes.

1. The Place couple didn't ski down the bunny slope. The couple who skied down the moderate trail had a last name of Gardner. The Burns couple skied down the Hawk Trail. 

2. The couple, Sam and Cynthia, whose last name wasn't Burns, didn't ski down the Hawk Trail. Mike and Ann both skied down one of the difficult trails, but not together.  

3. The bunny slope, the Lake Trail, wasn't skied down by the Xavier couple. Neither the Heights Trail nor the Hawk Trail were marked as moderate slopes.

4. The five couples were represented by: Charles, Carlene, a difficult trail, North Trail, and the couple whose last name was Russell.

5. There were two difficult trails - neither Andy nor Lee, who were not married, skied down them.

6. Zack Xavier didn't marry Beth or Carlene. Andy skied down the North Trail. The expert trail, which Sam didn't ski down, was the Forest Trail.
