TERRACE _ Most beginning
skiers can remember the ego-
rending experience of seeing a
tiny skier in a big helmet blast
‘by at something approaching
the speed of light.

The kid. is probably in the
Nancy Greene Ski League, and
boy do you wish you'd been.

Well, the Nancy Greene pro-
gram is coming soon to a ski hill

' near ‘you: -” :
The  Shames Mountain ‘Ski -

Club is starting the league for
seven- to 12-year-olds for the
first time this year.

The. league runs Sundays

from 1 to-3+p.m. -with an op- :

tional technical practice session
from 10 a.m. to noon, says club
chairman.Mike Zylicz. The first
races will be in early December.

The ciub has hired profes-
sional coach. Jan Hamilton,
Zylicz said, and hopes to get

Nancy Greene added -

five or six volunteer coaches to
help out.

They're hoping to attract 40
to 50 children to the program

’ this season, .

The Nancy Greene program is .
designed to give children a fun
introduction to ski racing and to
make them better skiers at the
same time, -.

“There’s no direct individual
competition,’’ Zylicz -says.
“The idea is team competition,
team effort.”

The skiers race slalom and
giant slalom courses — no.
downhill.

Since the age span.ig the pro-
gram is wide, coaches have to
try to satisfy the varying dif-
ferent ‘skill and competiton
levels,

“Some kids just want to go
out and ski with their friends,”
says Zylicz, ‘“‘And some kids

Ski racing program gr ows"

want to be super competitive.
We don’t want: to alienate

. anybody,”

That balance can be chalieng-
ing.

“It's a fine line between com-
petitiveness and: participation,
You have to allow everybody to

. participate, But you don't want

to alienate any future Steve
Podborskis either."’

There will be league team rac-
ing here, and there may be some
inter-mountain competitons
when the Smithers club comes
here or the Shames club goes to
Smithers, he added.

All kids must be able to ride
the lifts and must wear an ap-
proved ski helmet,

There’s a $20 family registra-
tion fee, and coaching fees are
$20 per month per racer.

Zylicz said the club is looking

PASSING TO, a t amimate, a Convoy Supply player starts the charge against the Northern Motor’ lan
Okies in'a game last Wednesday night. The Okies — who lead Terrace Rec Hockey's aldtimer division

a6-5 record and 12 points, Top spot remains a cogfight in the tightly competitive recreational division,
with ail six teams within striking distance. As of Thursday, Norm’s Auto Refinishing, Precision Builders
and Inn of the West were all tied for the lead, with 13 points each.
