But it didn’t come this time and they had fo settle for Tunner-up honours at the Jan. 14-15 event in Prince George.- Skeena had opened the tourney by trouncing John McGuiness 54-21, then cruised to a 46-36 victory over Duchess Park in the sernis. That set up the final against Blackburn, a tight, defensive battle’ in which neither squad was able to open up a lead of more than a few points. In the end, Blackburn squeezed the 31-30 verdict but coach Bill. Gook was happy with Skcena’s performance, He said Blackburn’s height advantage meant Skeena had to doa lot of running. Unfortunately, the two exhi- bition games the team had played the night before the tournament got under way took their toll. “They were a litle tired,”’ Gook pointed out. In those exhibition games Skeena had knocked off Col- lege Heights 56-40, then sunk the winner in the final second to edge Lakr-wood 30-28. With the College Heights game having statted later than scheduled, Gook said Skeena had to race across town and go “straight out on court against Lakewood. : Skeena’s Linnae Bee and Roxanne Chow were named to the first All-Star team and Bec- . - ky Heenan was selected. the tournament’s most -inspira- ~ tional player. Gook said the weekend showed Skecna were ‘‘fairly close’? to the province’s top compétitive level. ‘““There’s a lot more parity around the province in girl's baskethall,’’ he explained, so results against strong leams like Lakewood and Blackburn were good indicators. Having given Skeena a chance to see how the big teams played, the Prince George trip was valuable expe- rience if they make the provin- cials. But there’s a potential downside as well. Because southern teams keep an eye on what’s happening with the stonger Interior squads, theyll have now been forewarned Skeena are a force to reckon wilh.

Pretend that an easy run is much steeper or that the snow conditions are more difficult than they really are. It is important to exaggerate movements to the point of overkill. An ideal movement to Director of Skier Services use is a hockey stop or side stop. Now pay particular attention to the bending of the legs "9 movements sideways at the ankle, knees and hips. These will all happen to help you edge and stay balanced. By taking these movements to extremes, on relatively easy terrain, you begin to better understand the results of your own movement patterns. In turn this will help you refine these skills to allow you to ski better.
