SKI TIPS

by Tim Foster,
Skier Services Director

‘See bumps as"
. friendly steps’.

Confronted with a slope of big
moguls, what do you usually sce?
One skier may visualize a field of |
"tank traps’, Another: sees huge,

"menacing teeth. Neither of these
images is condusive to a friendly
relationship with the mountain. _

On the other hand, you can view
bumps as a staircase. Instead of
being a *tank trap’, the uphill side

_ of each mogul provides a platform
for your tum, making the slope
seem less steep,

allows you to use them to your
_ advantage rather than being intimi-
dated by them, You'll reduce an-
' xiety, tension and avoidance,

Imagining the bumps in this way. ;

Commencing Victoria Day week: -

‘Mountain Daylodge will be open’ |

event at Shames. We'll cater! |,

Shames Mountain — .

Terrace relay team: five runners and half an hour short.

Highway 1 16 race — nine hours,
37 minutes, set last year. .
"We were close by about two-
and-a-half minutes at the 11 a.m.
time," organizer Ed Ansems said.

' "Then we fell back and couldn't

make up the time lapse.” —

Relay team member Marilyn -
' Earl said the SVRC runners used
‘a strategy of rumning an initial -
half-hour block ‘each; then run-
ning shorter times in the succeed-~
- ing blocks. -- .

All the runners on both sides
gathered for a -7 a.m. start at
Prince Rupert. After the con-

: elusion of the race runners from |
both. cities gathered for dinner’
before the Rupert group began the

drive home. —

So far they've set up for alter-
nate year race-directions. Ansems
said that next year they hope to

‘make it a permanent Terrace-to-

Rupert’ event.

It was hoped | ‘that Kitimat |
would enter a team this year, but

apparently: the Smelter City crew
is busy setting up their own club.

Next on the district agenda is
Prince Rupert's ’ ‘half-marathon

and/or two-person relay. on April

12.
